Default OK, bulb help needed...google is too slow

Have a 98.5 A4. Stock headlights. Will someone pls post the correct bulb fittings for all 3 bulbs: low beam, high beam and fog. And if you know what the stock wattage is, that would be great. Many thanks.

And if my config above is wrong, just let me know. But I THINK there are 3 bulbs...

Default Thanks but 1 more question..

IS that for a total of 3 bulbs :1 H7 for low, 1 H& for hi and 1 H1 for fog?

Or is the H7 a combo low/hi bulb? Thanks

Default Ok, more info needed, this time on PIAA

Checked the reviews and Google: correct me if I'm wrong but PIAA doesn't make either the H7 or the H1 size bulbs in either their Super White or Super Plasma White versions do they?

Or am I just asleep today?

Default You are correct, I have heard they may be available in Japan, if you have any friends there.......

Some people are running 100w H-7s but that could damage the switches/relays in the car. I also tried Hiper H-7s in my car before I got the xenons, but I didn't like them. There seemed to be less light on the road.

Default I had PIAA SuperWhite bulbs in my Euro headlights....

....which take a single H4 bulb (both low and high in one bulb).

Anyway, they did output a nice white light but IMO, not as much light as a good quality bulb such as the Narva Rangepower bulb that I've replaced them with. Also, after about 6-8 months of use, my left-side bulb would sometimes flicker on and off. Never did totally burn out, but it was getting there.
