you're going to need a LOT more than just the headlight housings to retrofit them.
it was posted somewhere else, but it is going to take at least a new hood, new bumper cover, and new grill. and that is only if the harnesses and mounting points remain the same.
trust me, it was a big letdown finding out that the LED headlights werent plug and play.
The LED tails, on the other hand, will fit!

i actually asked the dealership about this and they said that the 09 model has completely different lines
im bummed about this but what can you do, someone needs to hurry up and make up a retro kit for this!

If it was a direct fit- there would have been a few that would be sporting these headlights on there current 06-08 model years already. And most of the aftermarket/tuning companies are not offering.
the new LED taillights however are a direct fit- although special wiring harness are required (currently on sale thru some tuning market- OEMPlus for one) a group buy is currently underway at Fourtitude.com
Some of the other A3 drivers however are opting to do their own LED DRLs that I have initiated for the A3 community:
