Default Standard Bayonet Base 12V-21W...

...Audi part # N0177328

I'm pretty sure some folks had difficulty with melting the lense due to over heating as a result of replacing w/ a performance bulb. I thought the issue was with Sylvania's SilverStar Signal Bulb (7507A)...but I could be mistaken.

Default It's an 1156. I used these:

They are painted silver and blink amber. The bulbs inside mine were clear and blinked white, hence the replacement. I don't know why Audi would put an amber bulb inside an amber cone. Seems odd.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autolights4less.com/plt-xc-1156a.html">http://www.autolights4less.com/plt-xc-1156a.html</a</li></ul>

Default actually, he told me there IS a white bulb there...so im gonna look into getting the stealth bulb

because i have the blinker lights coded to be off when the lights are on, so it will only be amber when blinking..and i dont need trouble with jersey cops

thanks for the size

will post pics when its done, probably wednesday

Default Wattage and Amperage of bulb???....

does anyone know the wattage and amperage..body shop claims that while 1156 is the compatible bulb and will fit, audi bulbs may run on different amperage and does not recommend using an aftermarket bulb

stealth bulb that i ordered is

Bulb Specs: 12.8 Volt/ 2.1 Amp Single Contact Bayonet S-8 Type Bulb
