I have thought about LEDs but they don't throw out many lumens. 3000k 35w gas discharge give about 3800 lumens, although not tested they should be useful in inclement weather when aligned through the projector.

Interesting. I've never seen them. Have you a link?

Were there options on fog lights? Or did Audi do model changes through the years? Mine are H11 projectors.

For example, but there are 101 variations.

My thoughts exactly, I didn't like the yellowish light the standard bulbs gave off so I fitted a pair of these http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/mtec-10...-h7-9005-9006/ and they give off a whiter light that looks more modern and is in keeping with the LED DRL's.

Installed some Osram Fog Breaker 2600k this morning. Quite yellow indeed, but not conveyed well with a phone camera in daylight. Will wait for some sea fog to roll in and get some better shots.

If you go for LED beware of the difference in bulb diameter , caught me out with H1 bulbs , they are too thick to fit into projector holder .
