Any additional damage (such as broken casings) is not included within this repair service, and will be quoted up separately once we have the headlight in hand. Additional damage must be repaired by us at the same time as the lens replacement - we won't do partial repairs. Pricing is per headlight, and is specific per headlight variant. This is for the labour to change the headlight lens only and doesn't include the lens which if available will be listed within this page. This service is based on the headlight being dropped off or posted into us and does not include collection/return postage or headlight removal/refitting as standard. If the headlight has water damage internally and items or control units/modules are non functional, the headlight will be returned in the same condition unless it's explicitly requested we repair the issue and confirmed before work commences. Water Damage If your headlight has water damage internally due to a cracked or missing lens, this lens replacement service does not include any internal electrical repairs. Control units, modules, and other internal components that have been water damaged will not be repaired or replaced unless explicitly requested and quoted separately. If water damage is present, we will notify you during our assessment and advise on the additional work required. The headlight will be returned in its current internal condition unless you authorise additional repairs. We take no liability or responsibility for any control units or internal components which cease functioning at any time pre, during or post service due to prior water exposure from a cracked or missing lens. Vehicles Covered Under This Service This service covers all Audi A8 and S8 (D4) headlights from 2009 to 2017. A8 is available in standard wheelbase and long wheelbase (A8 L) body styles - both share the same headlight units. S8 is available from 2012 in standard wheelbase only. The D4 facelift arrived in 2014 and was the first production car to feature Audi's matrix LED headlights. Audi A8 D4 pre-facelift bi-xenon Audi A8 D4 pre-facelift full LED Audi S8 D4 pre-facelift full LED (from 2012) Audi A8 D4 facelift full LED Audi A8 D4 facelift matrix LED Audi S8 D4 facelift matrix LED If you're not sure if this service is for your headlight, please get in touch and we'll be able to advise. Post Service Information There will be misting in the headlights over the next 2-4 weeks as the air inside cycles and balances to the same temperature/humidity as the ambient outside air. This is completely normal. Normal (acceptable): Light misting in corners/edges during cold or humid weather that clears when the headlights warm up. Not normal (contact us): Physical water droplets across the headlight, heavy fogging that doesn't clear, or pooling water. Important: Do not remove any caps, stickers, or seals on the headlight as this will invalidate your warranty. If you see water droplets (not just misting), contact us immediately. Fitting If you want us to remove and refit the headlight during the repair service, please get in touch to get our availability. Our fitting days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We have AM and PM slots available.
