Default Front indicator bulb - what type?

I went to change the front indicator bulbs on my 2005 A8 D3 at the weekend to put in philips silver visions to give a clear lens look to the front end. I thought the bulbs would be PY21W with offset pins but instead I found these bulbs fitted below - they are 12v 16W and are audi part number 4E0941669 but I need to know the bulb type to try and source a silver version. Can anyone help me please?

Hi,

Not sure i can help much but I also went and had a look at them a few weeks back...I don't really understand the logic (apart from the financial incentive for Audi) as to why they would make bespoke bulbs to go in there ???

£16 a pop, at 2 either side will set you back £64 just for replacing your front indicator bulbs.....madness!

I had a very quick go at taking the bulb itself out but struggled - if you do manage it, would you mind posting a quick 'how-to'?

Cheers,

Oli

Thats exactly what you need, ebay link.

The bulb comes together with a black holder and connector in the base, sealed unit

Brand new from Audi costs around £18 !!!!
Funny thing, only 3 in stock in whole UK
I've been told they almost never go wrong
I was doing a bixenon with AFS recently and thought about changing all indicators as I was puting all new bulbs and I laughted when fella from Audi told me he has got one, 2 he will need to get from across UK and import one from Germany.
