Audi R8 Type 42 Upgraded LED Headlights 2009-2015

Upgrade the front-end appearance of your Audi R8 Type 42 with these Upgraded LED Headlights. Designed for compatible first-generation Audi R8 models, these aftermarket headlight assemblies introduce a modern lighting appearance while preserving the distinctive, low-profile styling of Audi's iconic supercar.

The updated LED headlight design complements the R8's aggressive front fascia and sculpted body lines, giving the vehicle a refreshed, contemporary appearance. Whether replacing existing headlights or enhancing an exterior build, these assemblies provide a clean, performance-inspired lighting upgrade.

Available for compatible original xenon and LED headlight configurations, installation requirements vary by model year.

These headlight assemblies are designed for left-hand-drive vehicles and feature E-Mark certification.
