    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    I'll certainly post back when I get the car back and I'll try to include some pics of the finished result, although I won't be able to do any before pics because the car's already in the garage. I'm really looking forward to trying them... I hope they're as good as they sound.

    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    Don't worry, I'll definitely post back once I get the car back. The trouble is, I'm not sure what I'm comparing the new bulbs to. My car lights had a bluey-greeny tinge to them and didn't feel as bright as some others I've driven. I don't know whether it's because the OEM bulbs were worn, or if...

    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    OK, I pulled the trigger on a set of Philips Extreme gen2 bulbs. I hope I'm not disappointed (especially at that price!).

    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    The Osram bulb in the test is yours - they mention the CBI, which is the Cool Blue Intense. I suspect the Philips ExtremeVision may be the same as the Osram Nightbreaker. Other than the "+150%" on the packaging of the Philips, the specs look pretty much identical on the ABD website. I think...

    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    Thanks for posting, those lights look great! Just to throw another YouTube test into the mix - the Phillips came out really well in this video. A always thought Phillips and Osram were the same company, so these should be the Nightbreakers, right?

    Colour Changing Footwell light kits for VAG Cars.

    I'd love to do the same on the main roof lights in my S8. You can make out the filament of the halogen bulb through the frosted cover, so I'm sure it'll be the same with an LED. an array of LEDs in the right size would look awesome.

    Snow lance questions

    Yes, as others have said, think of it as adding to your existing wash routine, rather than replacing it. The idea is for it to loosen the dirt stuck to your car so some will come off with pressure washing, the rest will come out more easily when washing and shouldn't need any scrubbing. Also...

    D3S Headlamp bulb upgrade

    Lots of halogens look the same, but it looks a lot like an H7 to me.

    Colour Changing Footwell light kits for VAG Cars.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the video. What difference does removing the ridges on the inside make? Is it something you offer on the while versions too?

    Newby s8 gearbox oil

    In that case, I stand by my earlier comment - a transmission service/flush is a definite must-do. Audi claim the D3 gearbox is sealed for life, but never made the same claim about the D2. Let us know how you get on. :)

    Dashcam rear cameras - how useful?

    I know it has a timelapse function where it takes one frame every second. I think it also has impact detection and it records a few seconds prior to the impact too. The Blackvue cameras prefer motion detection rather than impact detection but that can be troublesome if you park somewhere busy.

    Hi From London!

    Be sure to wave if you see me! I came across a 4.2 TDi on the A40 last week. we spent around five minutes taking it in turns to overtake each other just so we could check out each other's cars... It was all very jovial and we both left smiling.

    Spent some time with my other car (cavalier turbo)

    Will do Mike... Although you'd have to promise not to modify her... or let me see her again... or post pictures. ... Come to think of it, just don't drive her. :D
