LOL. Highly unpopular place to ask fancy C5 questions! No offense Audiworlders........
I got RS6 Calipers and Rotors for my A6 4.2.
Not sure there's any LED Headlights for the widebody. Keep yours or get some E Codes from UK or DE. Pretty easy to do a headlight restore, bet if you did yours you'd like the outcome or Clear Corner them and you'll like them that much more.

With regard to the head lights...I have found an R8 type headlamp on ebay through Autoolosa, which should fit the widebody and look amazing as well...but the one catch is they will not work if my vehicle is originally HID.....so Im currently researching that..

I really don't think there's any aftermarket headlight options for the widebody.
The E Codes from Europe are awesome, but buffing your headlights and clear cornering them should save you a decent amount of coin and will look great upon completion.

I don't think the 17's would work with the RS6 Calipers, but I have some 18's already and I have yet to put the Calipers/ Rotors on- been swimming in parts to put on my car... Just got some Alcantara Sport Seats from DE with the underseat cubbies, Alcantara Door Cards, PSS9's, all Control Arms, RS6 KMH Tacho, RS6 Belly Pan, 01E, RS4 Clutch, TTV Flywheel, RS6 Exhaust,,, and on and on. I have all the aforesaid items done now with the exception of the Tacho, Calipers, Exhaust and 01E- I need more tiiiiiiime. The downside to the RS6 Calipers/ Rotors is cost, the only reason I got them for my car is cuz I'm really bad with money and am trying to live up to that!

SO, quick update:
The head lamps I posted off eBay WILL NOT work for the C5 S6 Avant. Reason is, my car does, in fact, have OEM HID's installed... Thus, it is a no-go on a purchase right now and I will have to just source out some E-Codes, as was recommended, or wet sand, polish and restore them to new. (disclaimer: I know about the UV protection issue, Ill simply get the headlights tinted or clear wrapped with a UV protected product-)
With regard to the rotor and calipers.. A small issue with the brake pad wear indicator (the SRT-8, Brembos do not have this option), can be easily bypassed via setting adjustment in VAG-COM. No biggy.
I went with a very nice set of rotors from Adamsrotors.com to mount up with the OEM calipers for now.. Once I have those rotors in and cleanly mounted, Ill see how (and if) the SRT-8 Calipers mount up, taking measurements for the custom mounting brackets as I go..
This may all be a big fail by the end of my venture, but for me, all the fun is in the work- and so we continue.
