    B8 to B8.5 Facelift

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just wondering on some info either from a b8.5 owner or someone who's done the face lift, i managed to find the parts bonnet headlights fenders and the bumper relatively cheap. Just have two questions;

    1. Are the headlights between the b8.5 and a standard b8 the same wiring/ programming? Or will it have to be re programmed via the obd port to support it?

    2. Are the headlight backs the same shape or will the plastic pieces that hold the head light have to be swapped as well?

    Cheers for any info

    1: Coding/wiring is different
    2: I believe it will need to be swapped as the headlight unit is a completely different design

    Example of how the wiring is different would be good!

    As for plastic any pictures would be fantastic
