Ive got an Audi A4 on a 52 plate. Its a great car no doubt about it. Only minor complaints, such as the DIM LCD bleeding and the headlights are like candles.

One blew today. DIM flashed up that the front dipped headlight bulb has gone. Now is a good time to replace the standard bulbs for somthing a little better.

Can anyone reccomend some bulbs for this car that will fit, not case the DIM and issue and not set my wiring loom on fire?

I would like to uprate but still be legal and not like a Jean Micheal Jarre concert coming down the road !

DIS isn't horribly expensive to fix, Cluster Repairs UK do a very good job.

Numerous brands of legal and not so legal uprated headlamp bulbs that aren't disgustingly expensive, usd to have Phillips ones in mine but they were only slightly better than stock so threw a Chinese HID kit in instead. Night time = Day time now wink

I ordered some Osram nightbreaker bulbs last night from powerbulbs.co.uk.
I will try and fit these over the weekend and report back the delta.

Thanks for the help.

The DIS - is annoying. I cant stump up the £500 to get it sorted though.
