The manual does not list the bulbs.. so I did some research what I came up with was the high, low, and fogs were all H7.. maybe that was some european info or something.. But you are correct they are H11 in the lows.
Just the fogs and high beams are H7

You need to get a resistor pack to make the HID lights work, or the "Dipped Headlight Failure" will show up on your computer. Install is pretty easy, but there are small issues. Sometimes when I turn my high beams on, the right low beam flutters. Not a good sign, but I am overall happy with my arrangement. Funny thing is, my A3 has every friggin option, but somehow didn't have xenon. In fact, none of the ones at Oakland Audi had them. The dealer explained that when they ordered last year, they assumed that xenons came with the premium package, but obviously they, as well as I were disappointed.

And power the HIDs off a direct 12V source relay, one for each side.. And possibly run more grounds.
that should help.
Also to not have to put in resistors the 55Watt draw ballasts should fix that, most are 35watt draw, I see that the group buy lists both available.
