I hope the format is OK, I'm resending a message that bounced when the server 
was down....

I tried a set of the PIAA platinum bulbs in the standard DOT headlites on my 
2C.  They were in there for a year & a half and were noticeably brighter than 
the lites in my wife's 5K.  This difference is very pronounced when you drive 
one car and then immediately drive the other.  The PIAAs are actually bright 
enough so that oncoming traffic would flash their lights if you forget to dim 
- they were almost as bright as a bad set of lites in a normal car.  If I 
remember correctly, I paid ~ $70 for both bulbs.  In keeping with the new 
Audi tradition, they also have a slight bluish tint.
