Can anyone tell me how much Xenon Lights are for a 99.5 A4 Avant, and can they be put on easily. if not what are these Eurolight bulbs and where can I get a pair of them?

All the so-called Xenon bulbs are just hype. ALL bulbs have Xenon in them. They are just blue tinted, and if done right, can give a whiter color of light. However anytime light passes through ANY kind of filter, you lose output, so there is NO WAY they can be brighter than a clear 55 watt bulb.

My not humble Opinion, I've BTDT 8 times,

No-Xenon for now

There's some HID/Xenon light kits for H1,H4,H7,9005/6(HB3/4) available in japan, i think people will import it to the states soon. those kits includes blubs, wirings and a amperfier.

Intentionally, at least. Halogen (halide gas, F, Cl, I, or Br) bulbs are filled with this highly reactive gas, forming tungsten halides which prevent metal vapor depositation on the glass, keeping the bulbs white and bright.

Xenon is a noble gas which is added to increase the bulb pressure preventing the filament from vaporizing in a non-halogen bulb.

HID's are totally different beast. Its a form of plasma that occurs when the noble gas has its valence electrons energized. The electrons fall back to their unperturbed state, releasing their energy in the visible spectrum, that offensive blue.

Its monochromatic light unless other elements (Ne, He, Ar) are added to the gas. Incandescent light is broadband. Filtering out other spectrum to get the color rendition of HID's kills most of the visible spectrum the 55 watts is struggling to make.

BTW, HID's are about 4 times more efficient than incandescent for the same lumen output.
