The headlamps on the mid-90s S6 and A6 are not *bad*. They're not
particularly good...but they're not bad. They have a moderate amount of
light, a reasonably sharp cutoff and fair light control. They're about a
hundred times better than the DOT lamps on your 200, which isn't saying that
much :)

In other words, you don't *have* to upgrade the lamps, but it will be one of
the items on your list...
