I think if you fit lled ones you'll.enf up throwing up a bulb out warning as LEDs draw less power than normal bulbs. 

Yup - that is a constant thread when the LED discussions come up; some cars don't "mind" them.   I will start with the ONB 200 and report back.

Steve,

Thanks for getting back to me . . . No wetness inside, only door sill itself where the logos are.  Osram Night Breaker 200 or the LED variant?  Similar specs but a huge difference in cost.

We are on to our third A6 Allroad - great cars but not flawless:
Shockingly poor main beam strength (non xenon of course). And we have wet door sills - is there a cure for this?

Pirelli Scorpion Verde it is.

I have had a 2003 A6 Allroad for the last 11 years and now a 2012 version with enormous tyres.

Always used Pirelli Scorpion before, but the new one has Pirelli P Zero and tram-lines badly.  Most miles are on potholed country lanes, not often on grassy fields, but motorway miles are there too.  Snow is rare in Dorset!

Any sugestions?  The local dealer has no opinion other than vague comments about soft and hard compounds.
