Default D4 Headlights on a D3?

So we're all familiar with the curved LED headlights on the D4 model. Has anyone seen a comparable headlight for the D3? I'd love to update mine.

Well, they will never release it, because its not a race car. Keep waiting

I looked at them extensively for the D3 but nobody ever had any available that wouldn't throw codes for adaptive feature.
Suspect it would be difficult to retro anything due to that.

I'm sure with enough fiddling you could get them ONTO the car. Now, to make them WORK properly and not throw a gazillion codes, good luck.

I do not, just here is the thing. Putting aftermarket ricey headlights, is what usually teenagers do. People who usually buy A8 are different crowd, who dont care about modifying their cars (just check availability of the tuning parts for an A4 vs A8).
So, even now, when these cars are much cheaper, still nobody will make those headlights, because nobody puts aftermarket exterior parts on large sedans (A8, S CLASS, BMW 7, LS460). It is simply not worth it financially to produce them, because nobody will buy them, except few silly dudes.

If you really want led, consider s6 leds, it should satisfy your led craving. They can be modified to fit different Audi models
