Hi all,

I'm about to register my Irish reg Superb in Spain, and seems I'll need to change the headlights entirely as the Spanish ITV (MOT) will not accept the continental driving setting.

I got a quote from a local main dealer of EUR2434, and am looking for cheaper options, so went looking for the detail parts list first on ERWIN, but after paying the EUR10, discover that is no longer much use at all.

I've got a quote of EUR550 for both from a guy on a free-ads site, apparently importing from Poland, but I really need to be sure that the p/ns hes promising will fit, not to mention need to verify he's legit too.

If anyone can help me get the full part listing would be much appreciated. My VIN is TMBKH7NP5G7081692.

Is there any resource I can use to assure which model a part number is compatible with?

What I have currently mounted is

3V2941016A

3V2941015A ( I think its ..015, the text has mostly rubbed off the label)

What I'm being offered by this guy is
3v1941018

3v0941016 (not sure if typo here)?

Thanks

ideally, u should b getting the part numbers that match ur current headlight.

u need to b aware of LHD vs RHD

in theory, u can use 17A/18A in place of 15A/16A.

u can't mix 3V2 and 3V1.

if u have version A (last letter in part number), u must get version A replacements, not version B.

version B has different internals, hence different light control modules (LCM).

part number meanings below.

3V2 = right hand drive (RHD)

3V1 = left hand drive (LHD)

015A = bi-xenon left head light

016A = bi-xenon right head light

015B = SLA bi-xenon left head light

016B = SLA bi-xenon right head light

017A = bi-xenon left head light

018A = bi-xenon right head light

017B = SLA bi-xenon left head light

018B = SLA bi-xenon right head light

The SLA are the "lashes", right?

SLA = Smart Light Assist.

Yes, it's the eyelashes version.

If I go with SLA, will that be a straight swap of the headlight unit, or need any additional kit?

I imagine I'll also need coding for SLA...I have OBD11..will that do the trick?

No, it's not a straight swap.

In addition to the physically different SLA (version B) headlights:-

• u also need different light control modules (1x for each headlight)

• parameterization file for the 4B Multi-function module. Need to use VCP or ODIS.

• Coding changes to 4B Multi-function module. Need to use VCDS or OBDEleven.

• Coding changes to 09 Central Electrics module. Need to use VCDS or OBDEleven.

• Coding changes to A5 Camera module. Need to use VCDS or OBDEleven.

Ok thanks, I think I'll leave the lashes where they are

sorry to drag this back up, but plans got a bit delayed...

Whats the difference between

015A = bi-xenon left head light

016A = bi-xenon right head light

and

017A = bi-xenon left head light

018A = bi-xenon right head light

I gather the difference is pre (15/16) / post facelift (17/18).
However, what I'm trying to determine is if I can pick / mix between them, or if there is any issue replacing mine (15/16) with 17/18 without needing additional stuff?

No, both r pre-facelift headlights.

Facelift has very different part numbers.

I don't know wat the specific differences r between those pairs, but I would only pair 15 & 16 together, similar with 17 & 18 together only.

I wouldn't mix 15 with 17 for example, or 16 with 18.
