headlight help
I have searched for this but I end up going down some road that leads me away from my focus (squirrel!!).
I just bought an '06 A6 Avant with HIDs. They seem weak and I want them brighter. The polycarbonate wind screens are oxidized as well.
1) Is there a higher wattage bulb 45-55w that drops in?
2) Is there a specific aftermarket LED headlight assembly that will work with my vehicle?
3) Is there a specific aftermarket HID set w/LED DRL that will work with my vehicle.
Looking at Spyder's website, I see they all state "not compatible with HID" whatever that means.
Can someone recommend some parts for me? ;-)
I sure am enjoying this Audi.
Thanks.

As for aftermarket LED kits/housings, they all seem to be very hit and miss, with more issues than they are worth. If you want LEDs, get OEMs from 2010 model year and you'll need to do some VCDS coding, but they will be a direct fit.
BTW, Search the forum, since most of what you asked is covered. Good luck

The reason the aftermarkets are not for your vehicle is that you have the self-leveling and steering HID lights. The aftermarket lights do not have the necessary actuators if you put them in you will get an error due to the missing motors. The connectors to the headlight may also not be compatible.
I agree, you should refurbish the plastic lenses using one of the many available kits and then get new bulbs.

I am struggling to find 2nd hand genuine HID headlights for my A6. One with the park light built-in to it. I have found one without the park light but they don't work for my car. Any recommendation where I can buy this light please. Tried Ebay with success. If anyone needs HID headlights without the park light, I can direct you to the right direction. Many thanks Eugene from New Zealand.
