Xenons Brightness Level

[kodkod.84]

All you drivers in your swanky B8 s-lines are gonna cause me to crash one of these days- as soon as I catch a glimpse of the LED DRLs I wanna take a longer look at the car and take my eyes off the road for too long lol

No wouldn't want them enough to retrofit them. Car cost's enough as it is.

I actually think the xenon's in my R32 are much brighter than the ones in our A5. Also the A5 xenon's seem to be a faint yellow colour, whilst the ones in the R32 are pure white.

I remember when I first drove the A5 at night in July, and I was dissappointed with the light output. I also find that the auto lights are very sensitive too, even though I changed the settings to 'Late'.

i opened my car outside a shop last night and as it was dark the led strip lit up as i pressed open. This shocked a runner so much the poor guy tripped over and fell by my car. v. embarrased bloke stumbled off after i offered help of course.

Xenons come with auto-levelling instead of brightness controls, so you shouldn't actually blind anyone under normal circumstances. I had them on my previously cabriolet, but haven't got them now as you can't order them without full S-Line spec on the new A4. Why have they done this? Xenons are a good safety feature but the rest of the S-Line pack is down to personal preference. (IMHO, this A4 SE rides and drives so much better than the A6 S-Line loaner I just gave back).
