My 2003 A4...

My RH Xenon is starting to flicker...

I want to try to replace the bulb first, what is the OEM Color and what bulb do you guys suggest using?

I know the OEM is Osram D1S is it 4300k or 6000k?

If i just buy the bulb can i just plug it into the ballast?

I saw ddmtuning.com with 4500k 5000k and 6000k
which of these would be closest to OEM Audi Xenon Color?

thanks....

The OEM D1S bulbs have a color temperature around 4200-4500 degrees Kelvin. Color temperatures beyond 6500 degrees Kelvin lose useful output in the visible light spectrum and are mostly used for achieving a cosmetic effect.

Here's a 4500k 55w from ddmtuning, looks blue when I take picture using my iPhone, looks crystal white in person

Will DDM Tuning D2S bulbs work on the stock Audi TT xenon ballast? I would to get a pair so they match but Philips, Sylvania, etc... run like $150-$250 for a pair vs. $15 for DDM Tuning.

Everything they have will work out but not all of them is an easy as plug and play. (Maybe some manual wire connection and stuff). And also, as long as you are buying the exact same bulb as your stock ones. There shouldn't be any problem at all and they provide installation guides with pics =)

Try Ebay I paid $55 dollars for mine and they are 10,000 buldbs and my visibility is way better than the 6000 that were on the car. The passenger side is easy to install but the driver side is a pain.....doable (if you have skinny fingers ) but a pain.
