I have adaptive HID headlights. This Sucks! Both sides.=start Do you have this issue? Did you fix this issue? =start It doesn't appear to be water and it is inside, not out. Doesn't seem to affect the light quality, just looks ****ty! =start I have had water inside, Audi dealer told me that it is normal. I have never in my life had a vehicle light with water inside, as it would not be normal.
Newbie here. I just got a 2013 TDI Prestige. The car came with the same issue with the headlights, all fogged up. Like you said, they don't look appealing at all and the headlights were one of the reasons I liked this model. Going to see how much is it to replace the HID headlights. Can we swap out those with a post-facelift ones.
It's 'headlight crazing', huge Audi wide problem a few years ago. Mine suffer from the same affliction. I've been thinking of changing them out, but just haven't gotten around to it. Its not something that can be buffed out either.
Some people on this forum have reported they saw this on their new Q7's within months of ownership. Is it likely that if I swap out the headlights with new OEMs, they would also suffer from this crazing phenomena? So any way to know if the new ones are immune to this? Maybe the face-lift headlights?
It IS “ crazing” based on your photo. Many cases of it in older Audis like my 2001 TT Coupe. As stated. It cannot be buffed out. Our 2011 Q7 showed very little if any crazing at 6 years when it was bought back. Our 2015 Q7 and S5 headlights are both perfect. Good luck. Those headlights are $$$$.
