Default Headlights

What does everyone run as headlights and foglights? I changed from the 55 watt halogens to 100 watt Xenon's. Hella's. Only thing is, the low beams are much less blue than the foglights. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the bulbs that aren't as tinted blue. I don't really need them at this point, but if one goes bad it'd be nice to know where to get them.

I run hella ballasts and phillips 4100k xenon bulbs.

I think you are confusing the word xenon. Sounds like you have normal halogen bulbs with a small amount of xenon gas enclosed.
If I were you I would check the headlight housing from time to time. I've heard of a lot of people melting their housings by using bulbs higher than 55 watts.

Yeah, they aren't the true Xenon's that use the ballasts. I kept an eye on the lenses to make sure I didn't melt them when I put the new bulbs in and the've been fine for a couple months, so I figure I'm good. The good thing is that both the low beams and the fog lights are focused lenses so I'm not blinding people. They light up the road quite a bit more than the stock bulbs. Did your A4 come with Xenon's or did you add them aftermarket?

Running with stock B5 S4 lighting, but I did recently get a set of Pilot 720c 55w H3 projectors.
They'll replace the fogs soon.
