Headlights

[Mav190sline]

Hi people. I have a dilemma, I need a new headlight for my facelift s3 due to damage. It has factory xenons. Can I fit a standard a3 headlight and swap the internals or does it have to be one specific to the s3.

Thanks for your time

Yes you can swap the internals if your carefull. How bad is the damage to yours I have some bits and peices left from doing this myself.

Damage is to the plastic lens cover at the front. It's cracked

You would be better off taking the lense cover off a halogen lamp then for yours. theres a few threads on here with how to guides.
You need to gently heat the sealant and prise the glass outwithout damaging the casing too much. Loads of sealent to seal it up after too.

IIRC theres a small screw or two on there too to hold the lens on. Id have to look in my parts bin
