Default Need help on suggestion on fog light bulb upgrade?

I want to get some new bulbs to replace my current fog lights. Anyone know good replacements and please no PIAA H7.
Also, is yellow better then super white bulbs?

Why do they put a plastic cover behind the fins?

What's the beef with PIAA? Output? or too played?

Does A3 have Auto-Off fogs? (Off with ignition, On manually so they can't be left on all the time.)

Default turn the light switch to the right and you get

<img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a279/iMryanmac/interior%20pics/IMG_1011.jpg">

auto = headlamps will go on when dark.
parking = parking only, from here you can pull out the **** = turning on fogs.
headlamps/parking = same fog pull

the 0 position is off.

to get back to auto, and then off, you must push in the ****, thus turning off the fogs.

if you remove the key with the lights on, a serious beep goes off, and it doesn't stop until your turn them off.

pic'd switch is a european spec switch with the extra yellow fog light pic'd, which is rear fog. and extra pull outward allows the rear fog to work (computer enabled, pre wired).

Default Auto = All lights off when ignition off?

For the last 10 years, I haven't had to turn off my headlights off when leaving the car. I don't want to have to start remembering to do it all over again..

That's OK, will only use fogs in the fog, and to flash idiots who leave them on in clear weather.
