A6 Headlights

dancook · 12-22-2007, 04:41 PM

My dipped headlights seem to give very poor visibility, I'm sure the light fittings are the original that came with the car back in 1999? (t-reg)

What is the best way to get a decent light?

New bulbs or total new set of lights?

And any specific suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

We use my wifes A6 avant when towing and I think the lights are appalling. Did you get your problem resolved?

I guess I could buy brighter bulbs but as the lights are so bad I wonder how much of an improvement we would get

If you found a solution I would be grateful if you could pass it on.

Kind Regards

Steve

It seems I already have the 50% halfords bulbs in, I've been recommended osram nightbreakers off ebay, 90% brighter. Or HID conversion kit.

When I took a look at the headlamps, I saw it was difficult to get behind the passenger side headlamp, so I haven't pursued it further yet.. I'd consider getting some osram's if I knew i could fit them.
