andyccr Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Does anyone know what the main difference is between the A4 B6 cabriolet headlamp and the 'normal' headlamp found on the saloon and avant ??? Can anyone confirm if the two sets of lamps are interchangeable at all ?? Wiring is not the issue here, just the actual fitment of the whole lamp assembly.

Phantom Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 no they are different in style and size, I don't think you can put the b6 cab lights onto the saloon, or in fact vice versa , the b6 cab lights use projector style headlights where as the standard lights on the saloon use reflector style lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefast1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 My B6 saloon has projector style headlights, reflectors on main beam, are you saying dipped and main are projector on cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTEC_Killer Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 The B7 does not have projectors unless you have Xenons - bit odd by Audi B6 models all have projector headlights (easier to retrofit Xenons via a HID kit ) Sheraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4teve Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I didn't notice until recently that the front end of the B6 Cab is different to that of the saloon and Avant. The Bonnet, Bumper, Grille and Lights - I think the Cab is a (slightly) better looking front end but it is not immediately noticable and I'm not sure why they did it. I think the only panel that is the same is the rear bumper - I think even the bootlid is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyccr Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 was just wondering if the two sets of lamps were interchangeable as I've found a set of xenon saloon headlamps (minus bulbs and ballasts, but I have these bits already) as I didn't want to cut the rears of my cab's lamps Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Cab is more curved off around the edges (more of a C profile looking from above rather than a [ if that makes sense?) B6 Cab headlights look like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyccr Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 But are the lamps interchangeable ?!?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 NO , even if you did try this you would have to add a self levelling system and wash system to the front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyccr Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I am asking about the casing, not about any of the xenon parts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for Sportbacks ( didn't have an 3 door in the showroom) but I noticed the same, only projectors were on Xenon equipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
