Hello Chaps, I was wondering if anybody could help me, had a warning light the bulb on my Audi A5 2012 Sline 3.0 tdi looks like the bulb needs replacing. I went to the local garage that I use and they asked audi for the replacement bulb and it was extortionate price. Could somebody link me to a replacement as i rather buy it my self and pay the labor charge. All i was told it was a Q3 bulb, my car has xenon lights. I have attached the picture if anybody could help. Thanks ! Just worried i might buy the wrong one

Xenon bulbs are very expensive £80 plus each.
You can get cheap one's on eBay and fit yourself. But you get what you pay for.

Thats fine, any links for that exact bulb, Audi quoted something crazy like £190 just for the bulb, I dont mind paying £80 for a replacement

I'd recommend Osram Cool Blue Intense as a replacement. You can get a pair from powerbulbs, you would need D3S fitment.
Best to change both at the same time otherwise they will be slightly different colours.

For a decent set of Osram or Phillips bulbs you’re looking at £90 - £150. As suggested you should replace in pairs but only if you’re keeping the car. If you’re getting rid soon then consider a cheap one from eBay.

I recently changed mine on B8 A4, got a pair of Osram CBI’s for £99 delivered. They are DS3’s and honestly they are so much better than my 7 year old OEM bulbs.
