Changing headlight bulbs

For my 2003 non-zenon headlights. Don't have the manual yet, so don't know the bulb types.

Found what appears to be a good FAQ for changing the bulbs,

Questions: are both highs and lows 55w H7s?

That was for All-Road Quattro... Kind of thought that's what my 1.8T Quattro was.
Ordering some new HID look zenon-type bulbs for the car. Wanted to do both sets same time.

RE: Changing headlight bulbs

h7's is correct. If you switch to an angel eye headlight (which is recommend) than you have to use an H1 bulb.

RE: Changing headlight bulbs

Ended up getting some nice PIAA ultra whites. Learned with my last car never to buy bulbs with higher wattage unless you do the wiring harness thing...
