OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 451080 / RH Valeo 451077

Accuracy note: Covers the Audi Q2 (2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Headlights are sold by side (passenger / nearside = LH, driver's / offside = RH on a UK car) and by lamp type — halogen, xenon (D1S / D3S) and LED or full-LED units are not interchangeable, and DRL, cornering and levelling options change the part number again. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check the lamp type and traffic side (UK right-hand-traffic units, not LHD) against your VIN, and expect xenon / LED and adaptive units to need levelling adjustment or coding after fitting.

Passenger side (LH / nearside) headlight — aftermarket	Valeo 451080 (LED, LED DRL, no bulbs); Valeo 451076 (LED, LED DRL); Valeo 046840 (full LED low and high beam); Van Wezel 0374961 (halogen H7/H7, motor); Alkar 2741051 (halogen H7, PWY24W, PW24W, electric motor); Diederichs 1055081 (halogen H7, levelling motor)

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Audi Q2 Headlights

If your Q2 has factory-fitted halogen headlamp housings, converting them to fit LED bulbs is treated as a definite MOT failure under the current inspection manual — this isn't a grey area or a minor advisory, since a housing designed for halogen doesn't distribute an LED bulb's light output correctly, which can genuinely dazzle oncoming drivers. If you want a genuine LED upgrade, the correct route is a complete headlight unit designed for LED from the factory, not a bulb swap into an existing halogen housing.

Before you buy: matrix LED, adaptive, and cornering headlight systems often require electronic coding to the car after a unit swap, even for a genuine like-for-like replacement — a headlight that isn't recognised by the car's electronics can trigger warning lights or fail to auto-level correctly. Check whether your specific trim has one of these systems before assuming a straightforward bulb-in, bulb-out job.

Audi Q2 Headlights: What It Does

Precise beam angling to light the road without dazzling oncoming traffic is the Audi Q2's headlight unit's core job, housing the main and dipped beams — or LED/matrix modules on higher trims. Because it often also integrates the daytime running light and front indicator, both the part number and repair complexity increase accordingly.
