Naxos Xenon Blue - 100/80 watts (I think), no upgraded harness, no problems. As good of visibility as a halogen will give you (not much), light projects white and looks blue. Under $30 shipped.

I'm using Sylvania Silverstars now.

They look great as long as you're looking at the front of the car and not inside, trying to see out.

After installing them I noticed they were not as bright as the Sylvania CoolBlues. They produced a much whiter light, but it was not as effective as the CB bulbs as lighting up the road.

After re-reading the packaging again, I noticed that these are 45w bulbs vs. the CB 55w bulbs. The difference is noticeable, but livable.

Only problem now is that they make my corner lights and fogs look positively yellow.

Hope this helps,

i STILL think you should clear those headlights. its not too hard, all larger audi sights will have a write-up.

I'm running Philips All Weather 9004 in the headlamps >>

Standard Sylvania 55W H3 bulbs in the foglamps.

The package of CBs you were looking at was not a 9004. All standard (legal) 9004s are 45W for the low beams. You might have been looking at a 9007 package.

Yeah, it would be awesome if people started posting "before" and "after" pics, or even just "after" pics!
