Default bi-level xenon for 2004 all-road?

In the Resources -> Model Guide, I noticed the 2004 A6 Avant has the option of having bi-level Xenon headlights. Can my 2004 2.7T allroad's lowbeam Xenons be replaced with the bi-levels?

Default You may have to do some wiring, fuses, etc.

Xenons cary more of a load than regular bulbs do. You also have to consider room for the xenon transformer/ballast.

the CAN-BUS is the way all the electronics communicate in an Audi. Its possible you would need to use a VAG-COM to recode code the lighting system to let it know it has the new lights.

Its much easier to just get better non xenon bulbs.

And as well A6 headlights do not have the same range of adjustment for the ride height.
