Finally,

At last.

It looks all the better for it.

Still not envious of the car.

Quick fix to what? You haven't told us why/how your S6Plus failed? (Wrong headlights? One ignitor isn't igniting?) (OE is so expensive new, you'll have to find someone (in Germany IIRC) who rebuilds the modules with new igniters and bulbs - or just go aftermarket HIDs)

[smiler]

Whont pass with Xenon if its not from factory.
They work great though, but not legal

[quattrostyle]

If it's aftermarket xenon it's easy to switch to normal bulbs for the MOT.

Just buy correct glass with correct xenon marking in the glass and you can use HID, as long you have the marking it "should" be okay according to the MOT guy I talked to, but just the glass is 1400 SEK each new instead of regular glass that I paid 250 SEK each new...

The correct PNs for the gas discharge lenses for C4 A6/S6/S6Plus (Right hand traffic (LHD) only) are:

4A0941115L = left

4A0941116L = right

Nice one, here is picture compare

[smiler]

No complain about the glas...

Are these not factory stickers?

[UrS4boy]

Those appear to be factory gas discharge (xenon) headlight stickers. Why did the MOT person figure that your headlights weren't factory? Going back to the build sticker, there are a lot of features that would be options on other C4 cars/avants that would be "stock" (original equipment) on the S6plus and therefore do not show up in the build sticker as an option.

i´m pretty sure these are the original xenon stickers.

There had been S6+ and normal S6 cars with xenon-headlamps WITHOUT the headlamp-wash-spray-thing (don´t know the word).

post a picture of the back side of the headlamps and it´s easy to find out if it is original or not.

kind regards,

Wolfgang

I have the same stickers on the blue + in my garage.

As Wolfi alluded to, the factory C4 xenon lights use a special cover on the rear of the lights that the cable from the ballast/igniter passes through. Non-factory xenon lights will not have these.
