Aftermarket Headlights

[J_Miah]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could please give me some advice.
So recently I have bought some aftermarket headlights for my 8P but when I went to check the connections were different on my old headlights. I’m not sure if this is because my old ones are xenon. The pins on the old headlights have a mix of big and small pins, whereas the aftermarket headlights only have big pins.
Here are some pics.

I wanted to know if there is some kind of adapter I could buy to get them to work?
Thanks.

There’s lots of different headlights through the years of A3 production, dependant on which type of lamps are specced at the time of build.
What are you trying to achieve?

I’m trying to go from the 14pin xenon plug to a 10pin halogen connection.

Can be done by moving the pins around in the loom plug but you’d need to identify which wire controls which lamp. Not easy if you you are not au fait with car wiring.
I would stick with xenon lighting myself.

Thanks, I’m going to an electrician tomorrow to see if he can do anything.
