I'm convinced A5s have E-code lamps. The beam pattern looks exactly like E-codes and nothing like DOT lamps. If you view them side by side, the difference would be startling. E-codes are characterized by a level left-side and center, then angling up to the right to aid reading road signs. The beam cut-off is also very much sharper, almost like the beam of an overhead projector.
If you look at the polycarbonate headlamp lens cover, look for a circled letter "E." This would denote E-codes. If they still are DOT-spec, you would see "DOT" inscribed on the lamps. Maybe DOT has quietly "seen the light" so to speak (couldn't help it
) and updated their piss-poor specs to match the European spec. Euro lights are night and day far superior to DOT.
Low Beams:
High beams (high pattern is normal, that's why they're called high-beams and you don't use it when there's oncoming traffic
):
The lights are E-codes for the E36 BMW, installed into my former Passat:
