very helpful post thx. just done my A4 aswell!!
I'd like the front and rear indicator bulbs and side repeater bulbs too. Get rid of the egg look!
Would you be able to add them to my order?
Thanks mate
I don't have Xenons, but want to replace all the bulbs with white ones - and whatever the repeaters need.
I know I need H7s for the headlight and fogs, but what else do I need. If PIAA do all I need in the Mirror Whites, can I jump in on the group buy?
Has any one any news on when this is likely to happen?
Marc,
You'll need H7s for the dipped beam, H1 for the main beam and the same sidelights as the rest of us. Personally I wouldn't bother with the fogs, but that's up to you.
The good news is it looks like you can get them all in the PIAA chrome mirror range, so no problem to add them to the group buy if you want to.
BUT, the thing that might put you off is the price (prices quoted from main PIAA UK webpage)
H7 - £56.75 a pair x 2
H1 - £56.75 a pair
Wedges (sides) - £11.74
So you'd be looking at £181.99 excl VAT for that lot!!
The side repeaters you can get here
If you want to go for it as part of the group buy, no problem - we'll just have to hope we can get a decent discount!
Um it may be me, but I cant tell the difference between the normal indicator blubs and the PIAA ones, they both look orange to me.
I know PIAA are a top notch product but I have to say that I am not feeling the blue shine on the blubs.
I changed to chrome indicator bulbs a week after I got my A3, I had to go to a load of different car tunning places to find a total chrome blub as they all only stocked the blueish PIAA or Phillips bulbs. Managed to source them at R-Tec in St. Albans in the end, not sure what make they where but they are totally chrome when off and bright orange when on.
Will post some pics tommorow.
Anybody able to recommend something a bit cheaper that will do the job?
Thanks I'll check them out.Try the Philips X-Treme Power bulbs Marc or Vision Plus.
The H7 X-Treme Power bulbs are about £29.95 a pair.
The H1 Vision Plus bulbs are £18.45 a pair.
Those prices are from powerbulbs.com
If you want to just go with the PIAA sidelights, I'll add you to the list - let me know.
Is there a clear/silver bulb available for the front indicators please?

Phantom - can you get a rough idea of the discount you can get from you contact at PRI Racing so we can go with the cheapest option
Does this mean we are at 18 items? If so, 2 more will get to the 20%.
New Group Buy thread has now been started - please post interest here and not on this thread.
No worries P - PIAA in the UK have found me 1 set of the chrome mirror bulbs for the DRLs - I will get hold of them so we can see what they're like
Yeah, I saw the same. It said something about the bulb being blue, but the tip being chrome.I seen a set on the PRI Racing site and they still looked blue-ish?

The DRL and sidelight bulbs fitted in the pictures at the start of this thread are they the ones that the group buy are looking at getting, if so do the bulbs fit all Audi A3's or only those with Xenon headlights? Just I'm getting a 1.4 TFSi Sportback (without xenons ) in the next couple of weeks and wouldn't mind getting some.
Cheers
