Default $25.00 well spent? And un-402'd

I put yellow bulbs in my fog lamps with hopes of improving their perfromance in fog. The white bulbs were essentially useless in all weather so I figure it's worth a try. Wattage is same as stock, so should be no extra strain on the wiring harness. IMO, does not look ricey at all, maybe others disagree. Sorry, no pics, will try to take some soon.

I also decided to undo the 402 mod. even with H-sports on the hard setting I did not care for the ride on level 1. I felt the suspension was bottoming ut too often and the shock rebound was dead.

As a PSA, measure each of your four corners. When Rallynut first helped me out about 2 years ago, he noticed that I was 15 mm off from my lowest corner to my highest corner (but still within Audi specs). I always thought the car pulled slighly, after that correction everything seemd fine. 2 years later, all four corners are still even.

Default I told you, it looks like a French allroad now, not ricey, wait when you use them the first time

then you'll see the difference.
Please observe the car for a few days and let me know if she pulls to either side. If so, we'll need to have the geometry checked (inclusive even tire wear etc pp). Should you trouble then just call me and we'll get to it again.

Default Ride home seemed solid and I really pissed off that dude in the Mustang GT

It must be something about drivers in that area -- THEY SUCK..

Any word on the oil leak?

Default I have a set of Ion yellow bulbs that I had planned to put in the A4. . .

Never got around to it. Is it simple to change the bulbs? I haven't STFA yet, but I'm sure there is a how-to somewhere. Has to be easier than changing them on a Prelude (major disassembly required).

Default LOL ;-) One more reason to keep pissing them off...perhaps some day they'll discover their brain ;-)

no word yet, suspecting a broken seal in the lower engine compartment, nothing to see from the top.
Can't be the tranny or the flange seal because the engine oil dropped at least a quarter.

Easy. Pop out grilles, unscrew 3 bolts, quarter-twist to open housing.

It's one of the first mod that I did. Yellow light cut thru fog much better. Mine's at 2500K.

Default Welcome to the 402delete club. One of the better decisions I've made - ever...

Also, what kind of bulbs did you get? I want to do this.

TIA.
