Just wanted to KNOW can 80 watt bulbs be used in the a3 without any issues........or is this asking for trouble?????
would of fitted hid's but dont want risk wiper motor.
Should be ok, even if it is illegal.
I used to run 100W bulbs in all my cars, when headlights were more generally crap than they are now.
Can't see the alternator struggling to cope, unless you already have every electrical extra in the Audi catalogue fitted.
This is illegal not because the law think its a good idea, but because you will most certainly dazzle oncoming road users, 80w is more than 50% more power than was intended.
I really think that its a very selfish opinion of people who discuss adding this sort of thing to their cars, if you need more light when you're driving at night then your either going too fast or you have poor eyesight.
I have adaptive xenon's on my car and I find they point down to the road more than I would like, but I rarely have to use my full beam because I drive within the limits of the road and my ability.
If you feel you need rally-stage lighting on your car then maybe that's where you should be, and not on the the road.
Just think about the guy driving his kids home late at night and you with your 80w bulbs come dazzling down the road the other way and blind him, not a nice thought when you imagine what the consequences could be.
Great, someone else on the road who wants to burn out my retina
Guess got to keep my eye out for oem xenons and autoleveling bits !
Smartest thing I ever heard from someone wanting to upgrade their headlights. Good show
no-one actually answered the question which was will they cause any adverse affect to the electronics. i was looking at these a while ago but stuck with the 55w ones, i do a lot of night time driving thru country roads and could do with a really good full beam!
