So can we make these pseudo fog lights brighter or what?

What mods were necessary to make them fit? Normal is H3, right?
As a matter of fact, I don't see any PIAA H7s listed: <a href="http://www.piaa.com/piaabulbs.html">PIAA bulbs</a>.
Here is a comparable color but inexpensive H3 (they also have H7 for the same price): <A HREF="http://www.aieonline.com/71/1053.htm?848">Eurolite Crystal White Xenon H3 55W 12V -</A>

Try to be more helpful than this!
I think it comes off as "snotty" and exclusionary when someone just says "try search."
The Search (at least the present engine) is pretty crude. Plus, what to search for: "bright fog bulb"? That only gives 3 hits, none relevant. Trying "bright fog" gives 2 pages of irrelevant items. Great advice.
If you know something, try to say something helpful, even if it is just a more specific key word or two to search for.

I put in some PIAA H3s, but 80% cheaper are the Eurolites...

Of the PIAA, the Xtreme whites or Plasma bulbs are the best match to Xenon. I tried the Plasma, which at first were too blue, but after a time seemed to match well.
To get at them, remove the small grille, unscrew the screws (3 I think), then access the back of the lamp assembly to replace the bulbs. Don't touch the glass of the bulbs, unless you clean off with pure (not rubbing) alcohol afterwards.

A6 is different than allroad - A6 is H3 bulb.
You are correct. Below is a link to nextcollection.com where I purchased my H7's. Click on the type of bulb (listed after your model and year) you're interested in and this will bring up all the different makes they stock.<ul><li><a href="http://www.nextcollection.com/html/Bulbs_search_action.cfm">http://www.nextcollection.com/html/Bulbs_search_action.cfm</a</li></ul>

Hey, here's much cheaper source for PIAA H3 Xtreme whites...
Listed as ~$33 (a pair, I assume!): <A HREF="http://www.autosupermart.com/shop/piaa15256.html">PIAA H3 Xtreme White 55W -> 100W</A>
This is much cheaper than <a href="http://www.nextcollection.com/html/lbu-Light~bulbs-PIAA~Bulbs-none-none-none.cfm">NextCollection.com</a> by more than half.
UPDATE: this is probably a one-pack, not a pair!
But, see the <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/102944.phtml">message above</a> about "Xenon" Eurolites. They are very cheap, and I'm told have a good pure white color.
