headlight bulbs..

[geordie <clarke@telus.net>]

Just a quick question of opinion here, I have been wondering just what
bulbs are best for H4 headlamps.

I did the upgrade in my '82 coupe a few months ago, and rather than
getting the Euro lamps I really wanted, I spent $150 total and got a
pair of Bosch SBQ46 square lenses to replace my high/low units, and a
couple relays etc, wiring etc....What an amazing improvement over stock,
and I laugh at the fact that my inside lamps are actualy completely
overpowered by the new lenses, and well, I think in a year or two I may
bu some high beams lenses....

So I was wondering, what are the best bulbs for this application for the
high/low lenses?  Which are the brightest and best? I decided when I
bought my lenses to trade the bosch supplied bulbs in for a pair of
Hella H4 +30 bulbs, and they are very bright.

So who makes the most effective bulb? Since I am in no financial
position to experiment with $20 bulbs, I thought I'd just ask...

Oh hey, does anyone have names for Audi paint colours? I am curious to
know what they called silver, because if Gold was Gobi Beige.....well,
who knows. I also can't find my paint code, I don't know why, it's in
the doorjam right?
