Sylvania 9004 ST in Audi 200?

[Joshua Van Tol]

You should look into the european headlight upgrade. Scott Mockry has
details of how this is done on his web site.
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com. You can relay the stock lights, and this
will improve them some, but the e-code headlights are astonishingly
better. Expect to pay $600-$800 for the whole setup including a relayed
harness. I've had them now over a year, and love them. Low beams are
good, highs are astonishing.
