Headlights
Hi, I have a 97 A4 2.8 (No Quattro). My right side headlight is out, and I want to replace it. It uses H7 type headlights. I should replace it w/ a 55Watts bulb correct? If i wanted to get some white lights (Xenon), do any of you guys have any suggestions of some really good ones that are reasonably cheap and where/wat site I can get them? Has anyone bought any of those lights from EBay? Thanks

H7 is correct. Use stock wattage. Sylvania SilverStars
are a good choice for standard halogens if you want a whiter light. Don't buy the blue coated bulbs, they output LESS light. I have used silverstars until I upgraded to HID and still use them in my high beams. They are under $40 for a pair.

you cnat just "pop in" a xenon bulb...
your lights are halogen, to get the xenon/ HID lights you need balasts, bulbs, wires etc, and that kit will run you around $320+ but as for just bulbs, get sylvania silverstars or philips (somthing)-vision (forgot name) dont get those crappy blue ones. and yest, get 55w going with more wattage puts your light switch at risk.

Yeah, don't even think of doing this ^^^^^
You'll kill your headlight switch sooner or later. Do it right the first time.
What scares me is getting bulbs from Best Buy. The ricers have taken over everywhere.
