Audi are looking for around 250 quid for the new Ignitor unit for the RS4 headlight unit that I have ... this company I contacted http://www.xenonvalot.com tell me they can do a upgraded unit 35/50w version for 500 Euro's.

Has anyone done this, and what is the wattage of the stock RS4 unit??? anyone know???

So sorry cant help but if anyone has etka maybe the would post both numbers, Light up grades may well be a good mod.
Some people have up graded simply the bulbs, would be great to hear which h7 bulb they went for and if they are significantly better.Also.

I bought 55w ballasts and bulbs from SPP in the states. The ballats etc are the same, but different across B5/B6.

I have bought a 50w Race kit from Apexcone in the States. I got this through www.understeer.com for $375 including shipping.
It hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment on it. It's a proper kit though with 50w Ballasts AND Bulbs (I have gone for 5000K). The
SPP kit is $500 which seemed a little high to me (I am a stingy bastard!).
