silvania silver bright - headlamps

[David]

I second the motion for e-code headlights. The DOT optics are terrible and there is nothing you can do to "fix" them. Thge best mod I have ever done to a car was to drop E-code H4s into my CGT. That said, you might see some improvement by using a relayed harness on your stock lights. And if they are, by chance, 9004 bulbs, converting them to 9007. 9007s have a slighly better low beam pattern, but for really good partterns, you need to go E-code.

Sounds really expensive for something that will mostly just create glare 
for oncoming traffic...

What's your ride?  Many older US Audis started with poor lens designs, 
and got worse as they got pitted and worn.

I dropped about $500 on a set of euro lenses for my $300 '89 90Q and it 
was worth every penny.
