Finally got around to installing a set of Tri-Xenon LED AFS E-Code Headlights I had sitting in the garage... For anyone interested in doing the upgrade it is definitely worth it, if not just for the looks alone:

Looks terrific! Was it an easy install?

yep. extremely easy and straightforward. it is a plug and play fitment providing you already have adaptive headlights. i've done it on a few other Q7s i owned before so it only took about an hour in total. if anyone is interested i have the original stock headlights with only 500 miles on them. perfect for a older Q7 which needs a face lift or refresh.

What is the difference between these and the original ones if yours are adaptive already?

I have full adaptive but my cars is an 08 for it does not have led DRL's at the mo but I do like the newer look.

20% more light, sharper cutoff on the beam pattern, broader broadcast of light (lights the sides of the road to illuminate signs, and of course removes the amber reflector.

I see, so these are now standard headlights we get v/s the US ones?

Are your stock headlamps adaptive? If I install adaptive headlamps to replace my non-adaptive ones- do you know what VAG coding would need to be done? Thanks!

Snopyro, if you change non-adaptive for adaptive you need to add module 55, usually they recommand going for the same options you have unless you upgrade from halogen to xenon, in that case again you need to choose non adaptive to same yourself a lot of trouble.
