It's not like the Bi-Xenon look lame either. They're similar to the B8 A4/S4 and A5/S5/RS5. The Bi-Xenon are also cheaper to replace or get Ecodes for. You can find deals on Ecodes for $600-800 while LED go for $1,400-2,000. For the 2017+ models Audi moved on to Matrix LED headlights which are much better.

Not doubting you at all, and that may be the case, but the LED headlights are still very nice for night driving.
We have other cars with regular xenon headlights (2014 SQ5 and a 2009 C6 Z06), and I thought the LED headlights compared rather favorably.
We've had the S3 since brand new and I would have never known.
Either way, just putting these up as we are considering selling the car and never got around to installing these.
They are on TAG Motorsports website right now for $2495.99 with a 3-4 week lead time.
