Hi Pierre
I have a 94 S4, and I find the lights pretty good.  What do you
perceive as the problem?  One thing that is a PITA is that the cut-off
on the low beam is too sharp! The road is well lit, but you can't read
the highway signs, without resorting to the 'fogs'.

Hi everyone,

 My name is Pierre, I'm a newcomer to this list as well as to the club
of
Audi drivers. I'm presently driving a '92 S4 Quattro that I find
great,
except maybe for the headlight system, especially on lowbeams.
(Adjustments
were checked, and they're ok.)
 Is this due to the type of headlight system?  Has anyone else felt
that
the lowbeams provided rather weak lighting on this model?  If so, any
idea
on the best way to correct the problem, apart from adding the
foglights on
country roads when reasonably good sight ahead is needed?
 I can't believe the service manager (in an Audi dealer's garage) who
told
me that everything was normal with this state-of-the-art halogen
lighting
system.
 Besides, something else puzzles me: the Owner's Manual recommends H1
55 W
lamps for both highbeam & lowbeam headlights, and H3 55 W for
foglights.
That's far from standard automotive equipment here in Canada.
 Thanks in advance for your feedback. Please excuse my ignorance, and
turn
my lights on.

Pierre
