just picked up this baby,2013 450 111k miles,16500$ with tax,i love it,had 2002 audi s8 before this and never going back to audi.
Only thing i would upgrade is headlights to bixenon and crystaline tint on front windows to block the heat,maybe some nice oem wheels
Apart from the above captioned wheels, check out the thread replacing the infotainment screen.

the head lights ... living in country roads of SWFL and after almost a decade of HIDs, to go back to halogens was frustrating, and at my age (LOL) .. needed light for visibility and safety ...

so the brand new oem xenons are 2500$ a pair i am not paying that but i see some upgraded just the bulbs to morimoto and balasts but also i see they can have flickering or warning messages,not enough info on that.
There's a slew of posts/threads on here about HID retrofits ... search HID and there's one guy here AZN Optics that pairs 50w Morimoto bulbs with 35w Hylux ballasts ... i already had my bulbs so I just bought the ballasts from him 2 years now, not a single issue ... knock on hood ... lol

@serb ... when i got my ballasts, i wanted 50w but Hylux didn't make a 50w version and i got tired of searching and testing and returning incompatible ballasts so i went with the reliable hylux 35w ... i would sacrifice bulb life with a 50w ballasts even if nominal brightness compared to the 35w ballasts (FYI ... it is not an uncommon pairing of 50w bulbs with 35w ballasts) ...

That's totally normal programming due to stability and MPG concerns. And it's all automatic.
In fact, it actually lowers a little bit from the normal level at highway speeds to improve efficiency. When you pull off the highway and come to a stop you can watch carefully and actually see the truck rise a little bit back to the normal position.

There is. Theres a module you can buy that keeps getting posted on the forums to override the air suspension computer.

You should be looking for the fuse box under the driver side rear passenger seat.
