... autolumination<--This is where they were purchased
194<-- is the bulb (a replacement for the 2825 parking light bulb, the tiny one)
Cool White<---is the color (on the website I see 6k, 8k for whites and other colored ones) I would pick 6k to closest match the HID low beams.
Price on the website is $8.99 each for the 5-LED and $9.99 for the 9-LED.

I'm thinking I might jump on the 9-LED one now. Since you just installed them how is the durability looking out? I heard from another member that his burnt out and melted? Any chance of this with the 9 led?

My god... Those LED's are bright! I saw the second picture and was like; uhm why did this guy take two pictures with his headlights on!?! But the LED's are so bright they could pass as headlights.
To confirm before I buy, you bought the 194 9-LED version correct? My only worry besides throwing a code would be it getting too hot and burning up in place. But seems like you have had no issues whatsoever. P.S. where did you buy the H11 fog bulbs from. I believe I would use an H11 not the H7 as I also have a 2005.

Brozee,
They're not that bright, and what you are seeing is due to Camera/OverExposure. In fact, during the Daytime they are barely bright enough to notice and looks like small dots. At night you could not see anything with them on in Park Light Mode even if you were running HID Fogs with Parks only. Again, it is Camera Exposure! Laters,

Well...
2005 A8
1-LED city bulb tried 6 months ago. Doesn't work; throws code.
9-LED city bulb that a few members say work. Throws code as well!
I give up on these dumb things.

Brozee, I have a European spec 2005 A8 and I can also say that no led will work for me. 1 led, 9 led all throw codes. For some reason 2004 models seem to let them work, but 2005's don't like the 3watt that is pulled by the build, rather than the 5watt that the normal bulbs pull
