Default Headlight

Hi all,
new owner of beautiful C7, 2.8 quattro here. I have a question regarding daylight LED strip in my headlight. Is there a possibility to change the bulbs (since they are fading)? And how to do it, and also which bulbs they are?

Aaaalso a question regarding retractable screen, I would like to replace it since it is too small, old and of course not suitable for Android or Carplay. Can you give me recommendations for that, or any ideas.

Much appreciated 👏

I have never heard of replacement bulbs for that part. Believe it is integrated and LED. You would need to source a used headlight or spend a small fortune for a new 1

Thanks for a reply,
Apparently Chinese people are selling this, and that is the reason why I'm asking since I never had Audi before and don't know is it manageable or not.
I have already found a used one for like 200e and new one for 400e, but wanted to check my alternatives 😁

I have read (not sure if on here on another forum) of people replacing the LED strip in the headlight, however it is not designed as a serviceable part and therefore to change it you need to completely dismantle the headlight and that involves separating the lens from the body of the light which are bonded together and not designed to come apart. Not a job for the feint hearted and a high risk of breaking the lens or the body of the light

Understood, after few days of research i must agree. It is a bit ridiculous that you cant replace only that strip but it is what it is. Ill just buy a new/used one and that is it 🤷‍♂️
