    Hi guys,

    My headlight bulbs are pretty poor, I'm thinking of getting these ones?
    Any suggestions if they are good or crap? Dont want to spend too much money on bulbs as my car is on sale?

    If you are selling save your cash,the next owner could always upgrade himself,so long as the lights are legal and not dangerous.
    It would appear that the opinion on here is that the standard bulbs are pants generally

    Generally most of these "xenon blue" halogens have craptacular light output. I suggest you look into Osram Nightbreakers or Philips X-Tremes for some very good halogen bulbs.

    You are right about that, there is no point in wasting all that cash.
    I would rather spend it on my next car!! But I have bought some cheap xenon bulbs for £3 which are not bad tbh!

    Hey phase4 there has been a couple of threads on about the procedure but here goes
    I believe that models vary slightly so use this as a pointer and you'll be good.
    On my car 52 plate A4 cabriolet there are two screws on the top which you have found and I had one more at the rear most point of the base of the lamp unit, the lower one on my car did not need to be removed but just slackened off.
    If you have A4 saloon I think you will find 2 screws at rear of base of lamp aswell as the top two.
    As a foot note I will add that you may experience a bit of a struggle with the electric plug and should be carefull not to snag the wires from the plug ,just go steady and patiently.
    When you are done you will agree that it's simple to do when you know ,like most things I suppose
    Good luck old pal
