[V8] Euro Light bulbs

[Bastian Homburg]

That`s correct. Also, these 100W bulbs are not really your best option 
when it comes to giving the "best" light.
 Oliver over at www.Audi100-online.de and the Type 44 forum 
(www.group44.de) did do some "scientific" tests (complete with 
professional diagnostic equipment!) and it was determind that the best 
bulb for "our" cars is the regular wattage "Philips X-treme Power". 
Apart from that, you risk deterioration of the reflector coating with 
some 100w bulbs as they give off a great deal of heat.
Check here for bulbs and plug'n play relay sets: 
http://www.audi100-online.de/Forum_/Shop/body_shop.html#Beleuchtung. If 
you already have relays, try to get those bulbs.
