Default Headlight Bulbs for 2009 with halogen

I want to upgrade my yellow halogen bulbs to something a little brighter and white if possible. I was looking around the internet and found these bulbs:

PIAA H11 Extreme White Plus

They are for the 2008 A3 (as per PIAA's website). Does anyone know if these will work on the 2009?

Does anyone have a better suggestion for aftermarket bulbs? And, is there any potential damage to the electrical system / etc. that can be caused by installing aftermarket bulbs?

Thanks

I guess they are both H7 for high and low, H11 for fog. Why don't you just put a HID kits instead? The bulbs cost like 60$+, and HID kits only 200+ and it is way better.

You have to be careful though if you choose this route. I've read on vwvortex.com forums that it can burn out your wiper motors...not sure how it's related but it's quite a popular problem amongst HID users.

I say stick with stock and change the bulbs with Sylvania or PIAA, plain, simple, easy, and cheap!

Try Auto Parts in Canada! - OEM and Aftermarket Canada Auto Parts. If you select your car, they will show you the correct part.
