Assuming yours are HID like in picture (mine are LED), get the usual recommended bulbs from the D3 board: Osram Nightbreeaker Extreme's. You don't mention year of your car, but HID bulbs can lose half their apparent brightness by 2000 hours from some dat I have seen in past. Do the math for your own use. At just over an hour per day/night average for example, by 5 years they reach that 2000 hours. The reflectors tarnish some over the years too, but can't change that. Try new bulbs.

These seem to be the best HID lamps for A8 that I can find.
