2000 TT headlight/taillight beginner's question
So I got a 2000 TT Quattro a couple a weeks ago, and want to change all the lights, because some are dimmer than the opposite sides, and some don't work at all. Since I don't see any complete sets available, exactly what do I need? I want to replace every bulb in each headlight and taillight, nothing else (not fender side lights, interior, etc.). From the looks of it, it appears each headlight and taillight has four bulbs inside. What are each one called? Do they make complete sets?
Also, any particular kind that's recommended? I like LED but are they too bright? I don't want it to look like my brights are always on. Thanks everyone!

Buy them individually from a dealer parts department. Or look online at genuine audi parts dot com for part numbers. I never heard of "sets" of automotive bulbs. Not aware of anyone kitting them. These aren't pinball machines where bulb, fuse and rubber ring kits are sold on fleabay. Plus the kits are overpriced. Way better to buy boxes of bulbs to have spares.
Also, any good auto parts store can look up generic bulb numbers. Heck, Pep Boys, Auto Zone etc. have on-line catalogs that you can use. Beware that the two packs of bulbs get quite expensive. I'd pay a bit more and buy OEM stuff from a dealer. The only decent auto parts store bulbs are Wagner which have an additional filament holder to prevent breakage from physical shocks.

one Headlight Xenon or Halogen depending on your vehicle. Dealer will look up based on VIN. Or you can tell if light is blue/white or white/yellow.
one High beam Halogen lamp
one Fog lamp
one parking lamp (in amber area)
one turn signal lamp (in amber area)
