Any sites where i can search for the authentic Audi headlights? I've looked around but the only options are the cheap garbage products for 300-400 bucks

FWIW - I'm in the market for an A6 and finding ones with the LEDs and sport suspension appears to be a major premium (as far as availability). These are the only two things I truly want. The rest is gravy. I couldn't figure out why some C7 A6 cars looked so dramatically different before I realized it was the headlamps and the sport suspension effect. It transforms the look of the car.

The Prestige S-Line body treatment also defines a sportier look with the different front bumper/air intakes, flared side rail rocker panels and rear diffuser.

Check www.audiled.eu looks like it is real deal for €1,600 or $2,150 each which is better than stealer.

But as I said, it is cheapest to order LED at purchase than retrofit.

Agree. Even better with 20 wheels

Now you've given me something else to require! I thought all C7s came with the same S-Line package.

Nope. No option for S-Line without the Prestige trim where it's included, at least in the U.S. Best to check the Audi U.S. website which will provide all the info and photos. The only difference from 2012 or 2013 are a few package options that were reorganized i.e. the additional option of A/S tires with 19" Sport package.

Would that be fair to say A6 C7 with S-Line body is the same body found on S6 C7 (except those unique attributes found on S model quad exhaust etc)?

Essentially, yes. The front grills are somewhat different (the A6 S-Line is gloss black with horizontal ribs, the S6 has black vertical ribs behind chromed finish horizontal ribs) and the rear diffusers are slightly different. The rest of the body shapes are the same. You can clearly see the A8 Prestige vs. S6 differences in the "build your own" graphics on the Audi USA site.
