And you were visibly able to find a broken small black wire in there like 18 gauge? I did look for about 1 hour and found nothing sadly
I chose to buy the headlights from Revolvs partout. He gave me a very fair friends and family piece so they are in the closet awaiting the day they are needed.
Have been driving with the same exact error for some time now.
Have had the headlight out of the car 3 times (when I had the bumper off anyways to do other jobs) to try and fix it but I could never seem to find broken wires 
Edit: the error was intermittent!!
This time I took it apart for that specifik error because I’m due for inspection (MOT).
In desperation I switched the module with that from the right headlight and the error moved 
Just received the new module and will install it tomorrow. Sometimes you worry for nothing 
Have a nice evening 
My error did not move when I switched mods!! Revolves headlight is in worse shape than mine so I plan to use it as parts.
My code was gone forever after I put the engine back, then came on more and more often as time went by.
Now daily occurence again. I think I’ll remove the stupid speaker beeber from the instrument cluster as this car is just for a v10 anyway…
I’m glad your on the right track, keep us posted!
You can recode the headlights to standard and the beeping and code will go away.
I tried to do this. I tried coding the cluster and the convince module iirc to not have them installed. I do not remember it working. Maybe I am also getting confused by trying to code car to not have acc and have regular cruise…
Do you happen to know any more detail on disabling the lights?
Ill have to go in and search but it’s part of the coding for the head lights. You can code them back to just standard lights. I’ve done it before on broken adaptive lights. Once you get into the module the drop down menu should give you a good idea on what to change to.
Damn… still same error with new module in the same side (right) 
that’s weird!!
I would also like to know the coding… can’t find any “easy” way of doing it with neither VCDS nor ABRITES
Mine is 2006/07 model (xenon).
Let’s figure it out, assuming we try a repair route… I know these lights I got from partout have a repaired wire. The member here said they were code free from his 07
I can not find any bad wiring on mine, I have looked and tugged but only 2/10 effort, I co uld get a mirror and light in there however
I pulled over a curb parking rebar thing and jacked up the bumper mount tabs, but can open the hood because forgot to connect cable… I’ll get to it soon enough
I took mine out again. Switched the new module to the left headlight and the error moved again (to the left headlight)
Then I took the old module apart and “baked” it in an old oven for 8min (+ cooled down for 30min) to try and “fix” any bad soldering.
In the waiting time I took the NEW module apart and could see that some components were “missing” compared to the old defekt module… perhaps thats why the new module threw an error??? 
After mounting the old module in the right hand headlight again, the error (for now) was gone… I will test further today and hope the error is gone for good.
Just shows that although the part numbers are correct (identical) doesn’t mean they are in fact the “same” 
Nice find, I have two modules upstairs I could dissamble for reference? I would love to be able to solder some loose pins if that’s all it takes.
All I can say is that it again after reinstalling 6 months ago had no code for a while and slowly but surely came back in a shorter and shorter interval
Keep us posted
I didn’t solder… I used the “baking method” like you can with SSD’s when they are “defect”.
You just have to be more careful because they might have used solder that melt at a lower temp. I baked the (disassembled module) board at 200 degree Celsius for 8min. and I hope that did it… can’t provoke the error in VCDS now (I could before) but I have to test more.
Well “stage 1” didn’t work… after 15km the error came back… so only partial success.
Took the module apart again and “baked” it at 220 degree celsius (8min. +30min. cool down in the Owen with door open).
Day 2 after “stage 2” and error still not back
Solder does not flow at 220degC so I am not familiar with your objective…
Please keep us posted if this solves the issue. Are you having that same “power output stage” code ?
I have the exact same error.
My S6 is from late 2006 (2007 model) but modules were for sure produced before that and as low-temperature solder was mostly banned around 2006 I assumed they might have used that older solder.
The “newer” type solder will start to melt at about 450 to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (about 232 to 246 degrees Celsius).
I thought it would be safer to start way lower and work my way up the scale 
The method is to bake the circuit board for about 8 minutes without preheating the oven. Check periodically and if you see the solder get bright and shiny, go ahead and shut it down.
After 8 minutes or when the solder gets shiny, shut off the oven, open the door, and let everything sit for about 30 minutes.
This time it worked for several days.
Next time I will try with 240 degrees Celsius.
Do you have an update on this? Your codes still gone after baking?
So I tried to bake mine apart, I guess that is not possible on the C6. So I did what I could to remove the projector from the housing and did not find any broken wires or anything so am stumped. I am going to throw $1300 at it for a new lamp from the dealer… but, has anyone had property success retrofitting the a6 headlamps into the s6 and still have all the adaptive cornering and everything work ok? Maybe this would be a cheaper alternative and would look “too bad”
I install rs6 cornering headlight. Also replaced headlight control module that support cornering, all programmed and work fine.
After i get issue with right adaptive cornering, it throw error of malfunction and it didnt turn and then work again and like this for some time. Issue was inside of headlight connector unplugged from housing and loosing connection from afs module on headlight. After pushing it to module it work fine.
I get set of broken rs6 headlights for arround $270. Buy cheap A6 4F headlight, and stripp both, swap rs6 parts inside new headlight housing, cut holes for xenon and afs modules, and glued front clear cover
I was able to bake C6 lights and get the lenses off, I think I put them in the oven on 175 for maybe 15 minutes or so. I put some replacement lenses on from ebay for about $60
I’ve also had the adaptive error on my C6 S6. I was able to see the damaged wires but couldn’t really access them, so I used my soldering iron to cut a hole in the housing and melt it back together after the repair was complete. There was a YouTube video showing the best place to cut the opening. Mine has been working fine since the repair.
