Quick answer: This RS7-style LED headlight is intended for the first-generation Audi A7 C7/4G, beginning with 2011 vehicles in the listing. The C7 includes pre-facelift and facelift versions, so confirm the VIN, production month, original lamp shape, part numbers, connectors, modules and regional beam pattern before ordering.
Audi A7 C7 headlight compatibility
The Audi A7 C7 RS7-style LED headlights add Matrix-style DRL and dynamic-turn-signal styling. They should not be assumed to fit the second-generation A7 C8 introduced for later model years.

Pre-order checklist
- VIN, production month, trim and sales market.
- Pre-facelift or facelift front-end identification.
- Original headlight part numbers, rear labels, connectors, modules and bracket photographs.
- Factory xenon, LED, Matrix, adaptive, leveling and washer functions.
- Correct left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive beam configuration.
Coding and Matrix-style functions
Plug-and-play wording does not guarantee that every factory feature transfers without coding. The retrofit may require parameterization, module transfer, wiring adapters or diagnostic initialization. Matrix-style appearance does not prove support for all OEM Matrix beam functions, which can depend on cameras, software and regional approval.
Installation difficulty
This is a medium-to-advanced retrofit. Bumper removal, module installation, wiring checks, waterproof sealing, alignment, beam aiming and Audi-compatible diagnostics may be required. Test every light function and dashboard message before road use.
