Looking for Halogen bulbs upgrade - Xenon look
Hi Guys, what bulbs do I need for a 94' PF Audi A8?
Looks like theres H7, H1, H4 to choose from, but I donīt know which my car runs... also, is there more than one set?(high beems, regular beems and so on) Here they offer the cool blue look of 4000k with Phillips http://www.autobixen.dk/shop/h7-blue...on-46218p.html Is there any better on the market? I am not interested in a real Xenon upgrade... just something that makes my lights more white... Thanks in advance Jake~

if you want your lights "more white" then you don't really want to be going for the cool blue look ones. Have a look at the recent thread HERE for some advice and very good prices on H7 bulbs from germany (which have since arrived and are excellent)

just bought 4 bulbs via the link you posted in the other thread (ebay item 261105186752 )
So does these bulbs both do highbeams and lowbeams?(donīt know what normal position is called) seems like there could be different bulbs in there as I donīt have fog lights down low(like on pf models) they are build into the headlamps. So the question is... does these 2 bulbs cover everything? Thanks in advance:-) Jake

Hi Jake,
I'd assume you have the same bulb set-up as mine, mines a PF model? The bulbs (sidelight, dipped beam, main beam and fog) are all within the headlight unit, correct? If that's the case then your main and dipped beams are H1 and HB3 bulbs, I fitted them. I tried for the same thing you're looking for, a brighter level of lighting without going down the Xenon/HID route, just a change-out of the bulbs. I tried Ring XENON Ultima +120% bulbs, after looking at the options, and they were exactly the same as standard, so don't bother with those. I asked the supplier about Osram Night Breakers (a mate at work swears by them, but he drives a Ford, so not such a surprise ) and the bloke answering my call said he'd replaced his Night Breakers with the XENON +120's and these were much better?!? I can only assume that standard Audi bulbs are therefore decent and an upgrade is required, though I'm sure others can enlighten us? Just trying to save you making the same mistakes I did, happy hunting! Ronnie
