The Audi A6 C5 Allroad Quattro is a rare find today, usually in the ownership of someone who has come to appreciate its smooth driving, capable off-road performance and excellent comfort. With many swearing that it's simply a better vehicle than subsequent models, the A6 C5 remained in production between 1999 and 2006. The lighting technology used in this car is however more than 20 years old today.
Factory-fitted options included H1 / H9 halogen and D2S / H9 single-xenon headlights, with both headlights manufactured by Hella.
The halogen version features a 2.5-inch H9 reflector, which produces an average light beam even when new. In many cases, its light output has been further compromised as bulb heat and general aging cause the reflective layer to peel off.
Single-xenon setups also feature a 2.5-inch projector, this one designed in the late 90s. These projectors are known to lose their reflective layer, even to the point where they become black inside, causing dangerously low light output.
Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Audi A6 C5 Allroad is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H1 / H9 halogen or D2S / H9 headlights, there are upgrade kits that will fit inside your existing headlights.
These complete retrofit kits not only provide you with superior brightness and durability; they are also more affordable than average Audi A6 C5 Allroad xenon headlights with bulbs and ballasts, and since all components are brand new, they come with a 2-year warranty. Additional benefits over OEM headlights include Canbus-proof designs and effortless halogen-to-xenon conversions. What’s more, the levelling systems will work without any adjustments to the headlight connectors, and you can use any ballasts that you might already own to save further on xenon upgrades.
No matter which retrofit upgrade kit you pick, you will improve the light output considerably, making for safer and more enjoyable driving. And, of course, your Audi A6 C5 Allroad will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
