Modernizing Outdated Headlights - Audi B7 A4 S4 RS4 - Upgrade/ Modification

[@Smoke4508]

We need more B7 content in this world man!

[@royalgaragellc]

I agree! I’m working hard to bring more of it!

[@shamal_dilantha]

Absolutely

[@ryanhaynes8107]

I agree, going on almost 2 years ago I 2.7t swapped my B7 A4. Just went stage 3 with KO4s and now working on body mods and need more content for ideas

[@WeMakeItWork]

@@ryanhaynes8107I’d go S4/S-Line bumper with honeycomb fog light bezels, and a custom honeycomb grille in the front. I started making B7 A4 content as well

[@BAKABRAND]

2.7 swapping my a4 titanium and im picking up a titanium avant in a few weeks! mad excited for the new daily

[@royalgaragellc]

Very nice! Gunna have some twin snail power soon hahaha I’m jealous of that new daily tho, Ive always wanted a wagon myself lol if only my s4 was a wagon… are both manual?

[@jonathonwilliams93]

Nice to see some quality b7 content for a change! You should do this to a set of halogen ones too!

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! That truly means a lot! I do have a set of halogen headlights just sitting around so maybe I will, but the process should be pretty similar!

[@xxUnknownxSoldierxx]

@@royalgaragellc as a suggestion, something on LED replacements. I'm currently prototyping some designs that will block the glare from the bottom portion of the mirror cones. As this will save oncoming traffic from being blinded but will retain the upper mirroring of the cone to light the road way. Coming up with a PVC plastic design that will snap into the bottom portion for ease of implementation. Have a couple 3d printed designs however ABS has okay thermals, PVC would be better for the Texas heat (especially after this year's Summer.

[@joelooks8951]

Just got an avant that’s pretty much stock. This is the content I love coming across when hunting for mods. Def going this route. Subscribed 🫡

[@royalgaragellc]

That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted one myself, but never found one that checked all my boxes. Those headlights on that car will look fantastic! I can’t wait to see what it looks like when you install them. Please keep me posted! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that! 🙏🏼

[@9k827]

Hope the other Audis were safe from the overspray. Coming from someone who had the city paint their car w yellow from road lines lol. Good content bro. Sweet garage. I’ll def be watching more.

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 all that truly means everything to me! And don’t worry no Audis were harmed in the making of this video 😂 But I am sorry to hear that about your car.. hopefully you were able to get it all off.

[@Derekk_A4]

Glad to know im not the only b7 content creator

[@royalgaragellc]

That’s right! You’re not alone lol Keep making that 🔥 b7 content! I will try and do the same haha

[@tylerzwingman6754]

Loved it, any issues with the car system thinking you have out lights, etc?

[@royalgaragellc]

Thankfully I haven’t had any real issues with the lights, the system does think the lights are out, but to me that isn’t a big deal, I’m sure if you just put resistors in you wouldn’t have a problem!

[@tylerzwingman6754]

@@royalgaragellc yeah that would bug me lol. I’d have to ! Much nicer look though. My B7 headlights are really showing signs of condensation on the inside. So, I’m looking to repair the OEM housings, reseal etc. and remove the orange reflector and install switchbacks

[@franciscolopez5359]

Do you have pictures or a more in-depth video on how you connected the angel eyes? I have an 07 RS4 b7 if that matters, but I don’t know how to connect the white wires inside the headlight casing and the steps for it.

[@royalgaragellc]

I can take some pictures and make a quick short for you explaining how I connected everything!

[@lian1291]

Did you get canbus bulb out earnings with those angel eyes and indicators?

[@matthewnelson5653]

That RTV Silicone you used. Is it holding up? I've been looking to redo both my lenses and I see people use the Butyl strips and have to heat it up again. I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it

[@royalgaragellc]

First off I apologize for such a late response, but the RTV silicone that I used has held up nicely, haven’t had any moisture get in or any other issues with my headlights since I put them back together

[@matthewnelson5653]

Awesome! Thanks!@@royalgaragellc

[@eastyyx]

Great video man could you please post a link for the angel eyes? Are they RGB or white only? Cheers

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! I appreciate that! It’s RGB, controlled through a app on your phone. www.ebay.com/itm/273915756915?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BuJlm2lGS1W&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ytOF2JVHQ4S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@panosa4b7]

oem honeycomb grille into s bumber? or did you make it by yourself? Nice videos!

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! That truly means a lot! I actually bought the car with that grill already on lol but it’s a honeycomb grill from ecs for the sline/ s4 bumpers.

[@DustySteel]

Awesome video!! I might do something similar to my B5.

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you, I appreciate that! You should definitely look into it and if you do I wanna see it!

[@Manu-Official]

I remember trying LED stuff on a B7 before, and then you get constant error messages on the dash.

[@royalgaragellc]

That also happened to me as well when I had cheaper led blinkers bulbs. Since I switched to the more expensive alla led blinker bulb I haven’t had that issue yet. Fingers crossed. But I also haven’t been driving the car lately cause it isn’t exactly running the best as you may know if you’ve seen my latest video lol so that could all change once I start daily driving it again. 😂

[@furrgoose2841]

Can you do a video on the Fusebox? I don’t know how to do that

[@royalgaragellc]

Yea I can do that for you! Although it’s pretty simple, you just gotta tap into a power wire that will be on while the car is on and a ground wire

[@peterg6638]

Beautiful 👍

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@lauchmitbauch761]

Great Work 😁

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@elvisfreshly5571]

Looks dope! Nice job!

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[@Dbobber]

Where did u purchase new lenses ?

[@royalgaragellc]

I found them on eBay for a decent price!

[@elvisfreshly5571]

Any regrets or problems with the modification?

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! That means a lot! Regrets? No not really, I will say this tho, the car doesn’t recognize the led blinkers I installed so they blink super quick, I had a feeling that would happen, some kind of resister should help solve that tho!

[@PopoySD]

Did you get errors for replacing the bulbs with led’s? I haven’t had luck finding ones that don’t

[@royalgaragellc]

Unfortunately I do still get errors for the led blinkers, I thought maybe using the higher end bulbs would help with that, but the car still doesn’t seem to like them. But I did find that using the higher end bulbs over the cheaper bulbs, they tend to last longer, and the individual leds don’t go out like on the lower end bulbs, which was more of my concern than any potential errors, but if you find a solution for those errors please let me know! Lol

[@jonathonwilliams93]

@royalgaragellc if they are blinking so to speak, if I remember it right it's to do with the dead times on the bulbs and because they're LED not incandescent the dead time is much shorter. Solution? Purchase a cantus w5w resistor block that goes inline inbetween the bulb itself and the connector cup on the headlight loom

[@zekeistaken]

Looks good where did you get the circle leds ?

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! I’m sure you can find them at a lot of different places but I purchased these ones on eBay

[@b7_zammit262]

Great video!

[@royalgaragellc]

Thank you! That truly means a lot!

[@S.queeze]

Where did you tap into for power for the halos?

[@royalgaragellc]

I actually tapped into two power sources, I did this so I can have the halos turn on when unlocking the car at night with the key and so I can just choose when to turn them on. I tapped into both the fog light power and the drl power. Hope that helps!

[@S.queeze]

@@royalgaragellc ohh alright cool yea that definitely helps, I saw when you disassemble the headlight there were wires to all the bulbs, do you think for a cleaner look it would better to tap into those instead of the harness. I was thinking about wiring it to the blinker so it could have that effect on signaling but at the same time I believe it wouldn’t send as much voltage therefor the halo would not be as bright as it could be with the right amount, but I’ll probably just tap into the drl. I appreciate the feedback

[@Smoke4508]

do you have a link for those halos?

[@royalgaragellc]

I believe there is a link in the description, if not I can send you the link!

[@DavidJones-yr4be]

Do you stil use the original drls of the car ?

[@royalgaragellc]

No I don’t, only because I wired the halo eyes to the drl wires so I could use that switch to turn them on and off

[@markgiaquinto5261]

Can you paint the reflective walls that separate the projector from the drl?

[@royalgaragellc]

Yea I don’t see why not lol

[@shifty22831]

Are these the same as the rs4?

[@royalgaragellc]

Yup they’re the same headlight lol

[@jurischuh7799]

Hi. How much is the diameter outside of the angel eyes?

[@royalgaragellc]

Hello! Unfortunately I don’t know the measurement of the outside diameter, but the angel eyes I bought were specifically for the b7 Audi tho. Hope that helps.

[@AirG]

Is there a list of products you used?

[@royalgaragellc]

Unfortunately I don’t have a list, but everything I used in this video was sourced from eBay! If you happen to need a specific item that I used I can go back and try to find the link for you.

[@jeremyjohnson602]

How do I know which b Audi I have ?

[@royalgaragellc]

What year/ model Audi do you have?

[@ryanhaynes8107]

B7 is I believe 2005.5 to 2008 or 9. My B7 is a 2006. But 2.7t swapped lol

[@EGEIS9]

where can i buy those angel lights? i want to put them on my b7 s4

I got them off eBay believe it or not Lol Don’t they look tuff on the s4? Gives it a more mean/modern look. You won’t be disappointed!
