R1gger Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi I am thinking of buying an A6 and driving it in Germany. Can anyone advise how I can find out if the headlights need to changed for a TUV (MOT) or if there is a clever switch mechanism to enable them to be adapted to driving on the "wrong" side of the road? Many thanks for any advice provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slooth#1 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I may be wrong, but if your car has GPS they might change automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1gger Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well l did buy the A6 S-Line and have been driving it over in Germany for over a year now - it is a lovely drive and just eats up the miles 😊 However, I still have not been able to get it through a TUV. I took it to an Audi main dealer who reprogrammed the headlights to point to the other side and I now get a warning light telling me the headlights are "out of range". Then went for the TUV and it failed as the lightes were still pointing to the left (the guy even showed me when I told him Audi had converted them for me). Took the car back to Audi who spent 3 hours checking everything only to tell me that they did not recognise the headlight unit Part Numbers fitted to my car and questioned if it has ever been in a crash, which it hasn't! So I am now looking on line as to how difficult it is to replace the headlight units and there appears to be 2 different types. One type requires the whole bumper to come off while the other can be done relatively easily So my question is - has anyone experience of replacing A6 S-Line headlight units and how difficult was it? Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
