Has anyone else felt that There has also been a vigorous discussion lately on Audi headlights, but it has been aimed (no pun intended :-) at the 5000/4000 series cars. Noone that I know of has complained about the S4 headlights. Those have projector beam low beams don't they? (or are the proj beams on the highs?) I guess I thought they were good. You might try to increase the wattage of the bulbs. You might check the archives to catch up on the recent lighting discussions. > the lowbeams provided rather weak lighting on this model?

If the fogs really do make it easier to see, then use them. It _is_ legal even though some will get upset at you and call you a Bimmer Yuppy. Another option would be to add something like Hella's Auxiliary low beam. Eric Fletcher (STEADIRIC@AOL.COM) has these, adn likes them. > 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 does sound a little weird. I'll let the other S4 owners address that issue. HTH Later, Graydon D.
