One of my road lamps is burned out.. What should I replace it with?

What is the standard bulb, and what can I replace it with to more closely match the HIDs?

Thanks.

 

18w PIAA 19224s

 

or 18W Polarg M6

 

since a bunch of people here probably buy PIAA bulbs.. where is the cheapest place online to get a pair of 19224s?

 

they will continue to burn out,

 

The stock ones? Or the PIAA/Polarg? Mine never did in 3 years.

 

cheapest place i found....do a google search for "19224" and "audi tt stuff"

 

$11.49 / pr

www.optauto has em for 10 bucks a pair

 

Anyone with directions on how to install these or is it as simple as getting underneath the car and replacing the current bulbs?

and btw, optauto shipping on these light (weight-wise, and no pun intended) is $10 ... ridiculous.

 

I bought mine from optauto, but because of the shipping, I bought 4 other sets of bulbs too just so it wasn't $20 for 2 bulbs.

install instructions

 

ah, i ended up buying two pairs of bulbs from lightningmotorsports.. shipping at optauto drove me off.. i dunno.. probably not much different in the long run.

 

That's what I use.

 

that looks great!!! good match ....is it like this in life(cause on pic it looks very close)?
is is stock headlights? and what color is that for fogs?

let me know...
thanks

 

Not exact but very close.

It's the closest I've found.

 

Bag it, and unhook them both. I think all they really are there for is looks anyways. Since they aren't fogs or anything by any means.


Mine kept buring out over and over again, so I just unhooked them and just have my headlights.

 

were your headlighs stock?
and what color are your PIAA's extreme white , super white or plasma blue?

 

so you are saying, by replacing the 'foglights' with PIAA/M6, they will just burn out anyways? how long do they last then?

 

Use Gloves when you put them on and they should last at least a year. Get M6's, the match is perfect.

 

RED CL : What color do those road lamp bulbs come in? What color/series if any did you get ?

 

get the piaa bulbs, they make the front look so much better at nite, and match well w/ the HIDS like every1 else is sayin.

 

Headlights are stock.

Piaa's are Extreme White.

 

You're not suppose to touch the bulbs with your bare skin.

Had mine in about 2 years now. Haven't blown out yet.

Unscrew and remove the road lamps from the front to replace the bulbs. No need to get under the car.

I have PIAAs. 2 years and the blue coating is sitting in the housing. But, I drive with my lights are on all the time.

 

what kind of gloves? anything BUT the BEAR hand?!

 

New disposable latex or vinyl gloves. You don't want any oil or dirt on the bulbs.

 

habout sticking a condom on each finger, thats laytex... nah jus playin

 

Non-lubricated I hope


Remember, no grease or oils
