Hi

I have a 2001 S3 with one piece xenon headlights, but the side lights and high beam are normal, ie pale and yellow in comparison to main beam.

Any recommmendations to upgrade them?

How about the fog/drivers lamp?

Thanks
Dave

Get some l.e.d side lights and some blue halogen for your fog lights. They will look alot better than standard. You could try ultraled and see what they have, you will just need to know what number/type of bulbs you have already

Try these guys - should find the correct spec bulbs for your car

http://www.powerbulbs.com/ or http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/

Tend to find its a bit hit and miss if they have certain cars listed correctly, but a good starting point.

If it's main beam your after then can probably get away with the non road legal ones.

I bought some Philips Blue Vision sidelight bulbs recently for my S8 as have the same issue as you, but not fitted them yet. They're an unusual fitment (H6W) so the LED options are limited to the cack quality ebay specials.
