RE: A4 headlights - Differences?

["Neil McGarry (Exchange)" <neilm@exchange.microsoft.com>]

98 A4s use 3 bulbs per side.  Two H7s and one H1.  The H7s are for high
and low, with the H1 being the fog.  I don't know of any higher wattage
H7s for sale. (55W).  Anybody know where we can find H7s in 65w and/or
100w?
