Stu3385, Did the new bulbs sort out your dim headlights issue? I've got the same issue.

To be honest, after spending £168, I wasnt jmpressed. A bit better, but not amazing. I wouldnt advise anyone to spend silly money on new bulbs like I did. 

Anyway. On 7th october, some scumbag broke in whilst I was in bed and nicked my wallet, keys and nicked the car. It was stunning. I was gutted. The only thing he left behind was my police warrant card (Im a cop). !Removed!. 

I got paid out quite quickly and didnt want to spend all the cash. I bought a Fiesta ST. So I now longer own an Audi. Sad times. 

Thank you. 

What xenon bulbs you have?

I have just bought the Philips Gen 2 150% 4800K bulbs. Wanted the best match for them. Didnt know whether to go with the ones you've got or something whiter look Diamond visions. Any advice? 

Hi

Thank you for your reply, but Im also after what would be the best match for the Philips 150% 4800k xenon bulbs Ive bought. 

Anyone know this? 

Anyone? 

Hi again

I just posted recently about replacing my xenon bulbs. Ive gone with D3S Philips X-treme Vision Gen2 +150% 35W 4800K Xenon HID Bulbs. 

Does anyone know which fogs would best match these? 

The matching extreme visions, crystal vision, diamond vision? Anyone had these xenons and matched them up? 

Also which bulb is the fog? H7 or H11?

I have a 2010 Audi A6 S Line 

Many thanks everyone :) 

Paul thats a normal headlight HID STYLE bulb. Not a proper xenon bulb. 

I have just ordered two Philips xtreme vision 150% more light DS3 bulbs. 20% off at powerbulbs. Usually £95-105 each. Got two bulbs for £168. 

Hi everyone

Because of what you said paul, I went to Halfords. 

However, its only on there normal bulbs (which are massively overpriced anyway) and not on xenon bulbs. 

Im going to buy some online. Probs phillips. I called a couple of different companies and they said they have never heard of ballasts burning out etc, only if you buy eBay crap. 

Has anyone bought DS3 replacements on here? 

Hi Gareth

Thanks for your reply. 

But i was thinking of buying the osram or phillips brand. 

Have you heard of these branded bulbs destroying ballasts?! Surely not.

Hi all

My first post and my first Audi! 

I have just bought a stunning 2010 Audi A6 S Line Special Edition 2.0TDI in ibis white. Its Immaculate in and out. 

However, its has the full works including Xenons. But they are mega dim!!!! The beam is brilliant, but really dim!!  I would say worse than halogens!! 

So I want to replace the bulbs and saw that HIDS Direct do them at a very good price. 

I cant be bothered to fit them myself, so spoke to a mechanic I know and asked him if he would fit them. He sed yes, but make sure you get them from Audi, as hes seen others burn out in a week or two and wreck the ballasts due to incorrect codes on the bulbs or something  

So I call Audi and Im thinking £50-80 a bulb  . They want £181 PER BULB!!!!!! I cant pay that for bulbs!!!

Can anyone confirm whether they have heard of this issue and/or recommend bulbs. Thanks everyone
