Correct part no. is N10526302. Audi just hasn't bothered to update its catalog, at least for Q5s.




Hi all,

Posting here as I believe you guys use the same screws and someone here might have come across this issue.

I'm having trouble sourcing torx screws for my headlights. Namely the ones that hold the modules/ballasts to the housing. I've measured them to be K40x14, T20 size.

Audi lists the part no. as N10708601. I ordered one, and it doesn't work. See photos below for comparison - lighter one is N10708601, darker one is original from my housings.

Let me know if someone knows where to get them. Thanks!

Ate you screwing into plastic or metal. Different head and a couple more threads. Should be fine.

screwing into plastic housings. more threads per cm on the one I ordered so I'd rather not mess up the threading in the housings.

You'll make new ones

You sure they're k40x20? That doesn't look right.

Just go to your local hardware store. They should be able to find something. I'm 2/2 for finding rando screws/bolts at Lowes.

yeah - k40x14 - 4mm thread diameter, 2.2mm inner diameter, 14mm length

found some can-am/bombardier screws that are k40x13 which should work, I'll try a hardware store but not too hopeful for these crazy metric size.
