Quick answer: The RS5-style LED headlight is listed for 2017+ Audi A5 vehicles, while the carbon-fiber A5-to-RS5 body kit is listed for 2020-2024. Because the B9 received a facelift, one headlight or panel configuration should not be assumed to fit every year. Confirm the VIN, production month, pre-facelift or facelift body, original lamps and complete kit scope.
Audi A5 B9 compatibility overview
The Audi A5 2017+ RS5-style LED headlights update the lighting appearance. The Audi A5 to RS5 carbon-fiber body kit targets 2020-2024 vehicles. If both are planned, confirm that lamp shape, hood, fenders, bumpers, grille and brackets form one compatible package.

Pre-order checks
- VIN, build month, Coupe/Sportback/Cabriolet body style and sales market.
- Original headlight part numbers, rear labels, connectors, modules and adaptive functions.
- Pre-facelift or facelift bumper, grille, hood, fender and lamp geometry.
- PDC sensors, cameras, radar, headlight washers and driver-assistance hardware.
- Written list of every panel, carbon component, bracket, liner, trim, fastener, lamp and wiring part.
Coding and calibration
Headlight replacement can require coding, parameterization, wiring adaptation or module transfer. Body panels alone normally do not require coding, but cameras, radar and parking sensors may require calibration if moved. Confirm which RS5-style functions are visual and which factory adaptive-lighting functions remain available.
Installation difficulty
This is an advanced combined project. Dry-fit the complete body kit before paint or carbon finishing. Check panel gaps, cooling airflow, sensor angles, wheel clearance, lamp mounts, weather sealing, diagnostic faults and beam aim.

Frequently asked questions
Will these upgrades fit my Audi A5 B9?
They target the B9 platform, but fitment requires the VIN, production month, body style, pre-facelift or facelift identification, original lights, sensors and complete kit details.
Which year models are compatible?
The headlight listing starts at 2017, while the carbon body kit specifies 2020-2024. Confirm the exact build because B9 pre-facelift and facelift parts can differ.
Does coding require any changes?
Headlights may require coding, parameterization, wiring adapters or module transfer. Cameras, radar and parking sensors may require calibration after body work.
What parts are included?
Confirm lamps, drivers, modules and harnesses, plus every bumper, grille, hood, fender, carbon component, bracket, liner, trim, fastener and sensor provision.
How difficult is installation?
The combined lighting and body conversion is advanced and requires professional dry fitting, electrical work, paint or carbon finishing, alignment, calibration and diagnostics.
