Audi lighting

[Larry C Leung]

I would have to agree with Brett. Having ridden in Taka's 200Q 20VT with
Euro's, I wasn't as impressed as I hoped to be. The highbeams compare to
my GTi's set up, but the lows, though an improvement to the 200 DOT's,
just aren't in the same league as the 7" round H4's, and all I have in
them (for low beam anyway) is 55W bulbs.
