is there any upgrades (better then OEM Xenon of course). How much are the OEM Xenon HID bulbs. If any upgrades, how much and where? Anyone upgraded there Xenon before? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Philips bulbs are the way to go. 4300k or Ultinon6000k. ...HID info
4300k will give you the brightest output. It has a white/blue color. 6000k ultinon bulb will give a bluer color but at less output that the 4300k.
Stay with the brand PHILIPS. Audi used them in the early TTs and switched to Osram Sylvania bulbs later. TT owners noticed the change. The Sylvania bulbs are not as blue as the 4300K Philips bulbs 1st used. As long as your ballast are OK, just switch both bulbs out for Philips bulbs. HID bulbs color shift over time so changing just one bulb will not match. There are better Ballast than the OEM but its not worth the cost if color is all your after.
