FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
Q: Will these headlights fit my Audi A5? A: These headlights are designed specifically for Audi A5 (B8 platform) models from 2012-2015, including Sportback, Coupe, and Cabriolet variants. They are direct OEM replacements and will fit both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles.
Q: Are these headlights legal for road use in South Africa? A: Yes, these headlights are E-Mark certified and legal for road use throughout South Africa and comply with SABS regulations. The 6000K color temperature is within legal limits.
Q: Do I need any additional parts for installation? A: Most installations are plug-and-play. However, some 2012-2013 models may require a headlight adapter harness (available separately). Additionally, some vehicles may require VCDS coding to prevent error messages.
Q: Will these cause dashboard warning lights? A: Some Audi A5 models may display a "bulb out" warning initially. This can be resolved with VCDS coding or by installing load resistors (available separately). Many customers find the warning light doesn't affect functionality and choose to ignore it.
Q: How bright are these compared to factory headlights? A: These LED headlights are approximately 300% brighter than factory halogen headlights and offer superior beam pattern with wider coverage and longer projection distance.
Q: What's the lifespan of LED headlights? A: Quality LED headlights typically last 50,000+ hours (approximately 15-20 years of normal driving). This is 50x longer than traditional halogen bulbs.
Q: Can I install these myself? A: Yes, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The process involves removing the front bumper, which requires patience but no special expertise. Allow 2-3 hours for first-time installation.
Q: Do these headlights come with bulbs installed? A: Yes, these are complete headlight assemblies with all LED modules pre-installed. No additional bulbs are required.
Q: Will these work with my car's auto-leveling system? A: Yes, if your Audi A5 is equipped with factory auto-leveling (xenon models), these headlights are compatible. Halogen models without auto-leveling will work perfectly but won't have self-leveling function.
Q: What warranty is included? A: These headlights come with a comprehensive 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can these be shipped nationwide in South Africa? A: Yes, Sound Louder ships nationwide via secure courier service. Delivery typically takes 2-5 business days to major centers.
