My US-spec Audi has the worst headlights I've ever seen on a car. Baltimore and Silver Spring Audi dealers www.getaudivideo.com What's up? For unknown reasons DOT (US Department of Transportation) keeps issuing regulations favoring crappy headlights. And for even more unknown reasons, Audi headlights seem to be extremely crappy as DOT lights go. The best, but unfortunately, most expensive solution is to change the headlamps to European ones. They use H4 bulbs, offer way superior light pattern on low beam and increased efficiency on high beam and are a great improvement over stock ones. They will cost you $500-$700 new incl. shipping. If you can't afford it, you may substitute with good fog and/or driving lights. Take note note that the use of fog lights in clear weather is mostly illegal, though. Some manufacturers offer auxillary H4 lights with European beam pattern. It is generally not a good idea to install a higher wattage bulbs in the stock lamps, as increased load and heat can cause damage to lights and wiring.My US-spec Audi has the worst headlights I've ever seen on a car.
