Factory Xenon's - Not that bright!

Post by JIMMYJAMES »

Evening all.

My B6 has factory adaptive headlights with all the bells and whistles on them, however i cannot help but be disappointed by the light output. They are very white and give a very good beam pattern as you would expect but they give no better visibility on the road than halogen units with up-rated bulbs.

Does anyone know the wattage of the stock bulbs (i'm guessing 35 watts) and if they can be up-rated to more powerful bulbs and ballasts.

Cheers
Jimmy.
