So one of my fog lights burnt out yesterday. I tasked myself to replace it today. End result mission accomplished...

BUT! I decided to just put Silverstars. So i went to the local parts store and picked up the reccommed H3ST bulbs... I then return, got everything taken around and the new bulb in; although it looked odd compared to the bulb i took out... the old blub had two male ends off the base, the new bulb had one male end off a wire off the base, didnt think anything of it... till it didnt work, then i though bad bulb, these are mass produced. tried the second no dice. came in side check Sylvania's website... it also says for the A6 to use H3ST bulb. I then return to the store in search of the bulb matching the two male end setup. This is the H7ST bulb!!

So after returning home again I finish the job, then do the quick Fog light mod (looks great by the way) and allset.

I just took a quick look again at the Sylvania website and the RS6 is supposed to use the H7ST bulb. I found that interesting.

 

Let me say on the behalf of people, like myself, that have no patience...THANK YOU! I don't know about anyone else but the closest parts store to my house is 30 Minutes away...so I'm putting a note to self in my glove box so that I'm not extremely angry when I try to replace a burnt out fog light.

 

What year A6? What foglight mod did you do?

i did this mod on my 2000 4.2 as well. works great especially because most of the time that you want people to see you easier, you don't need the xenons on.
