    Day Time Running Lights A4 3.0V6 TDi

    Thanks guys, I am aware of those sites and also www.hids4u.co.uk. As for the bulb its not the 501. It isn't the side light bulb, it is a bulb similar to a small rear light bulb for the Day Time Running light. Only found on the B7 model onwards I believe onwards. Ian
