This is a question for the 3 model guys out there. I'm a 4 model guy but the lady wants a few things done and I don't know much about compatibility when it comes to a3s. She wants the newer or s model head lights like the ones shown here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Headlight-Set-with-real-daytime-running-lights-FOR-Audi-A3-8P-08-12-/123242558057?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I'm not sure if they will plug and play. I can tell it will need a bumper but not sure if they fit the fender or if they will even work.

She's got a 2007 a3 sline 2.0

Hood, fenders, front bumper, bumper bracket, radiator support, fog, headlights, and paint work. Does the A3 already have Bi-xenon? If not, you'll need the Kufatec wiring plugs, and then change VAGCOM computer coding. Search for A3 8P Facelift conversion, there are several threads regarding the topic.

It's a pretty spendy upgrade if you were to source new parts. Maybe easier to find a totaled 2009-2013 with the front end intact, or just buy an 09-13.

you can find many parts at europrice.us
