Looking for help. Picked up a 54 A4 and am not impressed with headlights.

So i was wondering who has changed theirs and what replacement bulbs did you choose?
I am not fussed if they are blue or white as long as they give me the best, brightest light.

Thanks in advance

Obi,
the two replacement conpanies I have always used and found to be excellent are Osram and Hella.
I think blue lights are grossly overrated and are no more than a trend.
One of the biggest problems with lamp units in modern cars is the very high angle and curved shape of the glass which tends to refract the light as it leaves the reflector; so always make sure the surface of your lamps is really clean and undamaged.
Most Audis have replacement glasses by the way, without having to buy a complete lamp.

Thats my concern, i dont care if blue looks good, i want to have better visibility !!!

I think i will try the Osram Silverstars, they seem to have good write ups...

The blue ones are purely cosmetic and as such are no better than normal. Osram Silverstar or philips Vision plus are the ones to go for.
