do you have a pic of what this looks like? those 12000ks look hot...does anyone know what the stock bulbs are for the newer audi's?

 

you can't just put in a bulb to have xenons. converting to 6000 or 12000k hid's requires a bit of work and a decent amount of money. if you already have projectors im assuming you have a 99.5+, the closest bulb to get the effect you want would be a silverstar or a comparable bulb.(its a simple solution without going the xenon route)

 

That is right, a xenon system is going to run you some money. ive heard both sides of the story of people telling me that the bulb will be3 fine, but I would go with the whole system.

 

If u go for the Xenon use the 4300K bulb (Philips or Hella no Asian ones[:'(])and no higher than 4500K, the light output after 4500K reduces therefore to put it simply u wont light up the road at nite as well and u will get 'eye strain'.

There is a reason why Audi uses the 4300K(Philips) Xenon strait out of the factory, coz it gives the best light output: any higher is for 'show' and u will prob get pulled up with 12000K

As for halogen is prob wat u after go for the Philips NightGuide, its got the best ouput and has a slight blue tint to it as well, check out the link

I had the Philips BlueVision and then CrystalVision: but r only for looks and are not good for nite drivin[:@]: re worse light than standard

 

I've got a 96 quattro. I need to replace my stock bulbs since one burned out. Which bulb would you say is the best for an easy swap. I do not want to spend money replacing the entire highlight system but am willing to spend some money on a good bulb for a quick and easy replacement for the stock housing. Would the NightGuide bulb work for my car without having to upgrade the housing? Thanks

 

to the post above....yes, the bulb will work without upgrading anything.
