Default 2010 A4 halogens upgrade to xenon (whole housing)

I have an 2010 A4 with the halogen headlight, I would like to change and upgrade it to the xenon with led curve headlight, can anyone help me to figure out if its compatible for every categories like the plug-in, structure, computer control, code etc etc. I may choose the OEM parts, it seems has 2 different types of the xenon housing, auto-leveling only and adaptive dynamic, which one is more compatible with the original halogen model? I am worried about how the curve lighting will come up due to the computer setting, I think the auto-leveling will be more simple and better option.
Please advice and thanks sooooo much !!!!

A xenon upgrade isn't hard at all... Kufatech makes the conversion cables and you can find housings and a set of ballasts and bulbs pretty cheap. The auto leveling system costs a good chunk of change but is not needed. Both versions should be compatible. The curved LEDs are not different from one to the other and will be controlled by their own module and will need a VAG com cable for you to make it work with your system (search the forums for the modification codes).

It's up to you. The housing has some bulb adjustment screws you can set so you aren't blinding other drivers. Coming over a hill you probably would blind someone for a split second but this would be the case regardless with auto-leveling or not. I am doing the switch and would be happy to post any issues that come up while fitting the new gear but it's mostly plug and play, a code or two changed using vag com, and you're on your way.

I spoke with an authorized Audi Body Work place about upgrading my Halogen lights on my 2010 A4 to the Xenon/LED lights and apparently he was told by an Audi tech at a nearby dealer that while it's possible, there will be an error message on your dash display that he has no idea how to remove.

Has anyone ever heard of this and/or experienced this?

Is it possible and are there are how-to guides anywhere? I'm looking to replace the entire housing, not just light bulbs.

Thanks in advance!
