A4 headlamp multiplug removal
 

How do you remove the multiplug off the A4 headlamp (2002 model) I can
take out the headlamp but cant disconnect the multiplug!!! how?

I have replaced the dipped H7's for Osram Xenons ( worked a treat in my
V70) but there is not much difference still poor light! I am thinking
of replacing them with 80W bulbs to see if they are any better ( I know
they aren not legal) but I need better dipped lights as they let an
otherwise exellent car down.

Where did you mount the high voltage power supplies in the V70?
Or, did you just install blue-tinted incandescent bulbs? (which are
NOT Xenon arc lamps)..

Hi - they are just Xenon filled H7's I looked at the HID systems
available (£100-£200) but tried the bulb upgrade and it works a
treat!!! if you have a V70 you'll know that low beam is rubbish!!!
not with these bulbs!! well worth £16 (Ebay)

Hi there, your efforts in replacing your H7 with a "xenon" color bulb
have improved the color of your lights and made them more white;
however, those blue tinted H7 bulbs actually reduce the visible light
on the road. It's unfortunate, but it's actually a slight downgrade
you did to yourself by installing those unless the whiter color light
helps your eyes.

To get more light on the road you either have to up the wattage (go
with 80watt halogens) and risk cooking the cars wiring, or install
xenons. I highly recommend true xenons (hid). The $300 you'll spend
on a kit is *well* worth the money.

The multiplug.... There's a small slot on the side of it where you
can fit a flathead screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver in the slot,
and twist it about 15degrees. You'll hear a slight pop/snap as it
releases. Then either wiggle it off, or I just like to put the
flathead between the light housing and the plug and twist it again to
pop it off. It should slide off pretty easy.

Yes, the Valeo projectors on the B6 body style accomodate HIDs very
well. I just completed a HID install on my 02 Audi A4.

There's little room for anything other than Valeo ballasts though, so I
highly suggest getting Valeo projectors. I bought mine off ebay from a
guy named henrylampa. You can find him on ebay by searching for "valeo
ballast". He did well by me and has the product you need. You might
also be able to find some used ones up there for a discount. You'll
need 2 ballasts, 2 ignitors, and 2 D2S bulbs.

They call that magnifying lense type thing a projector. =) I call it
an eyeball type thing to anyone else tho! ;)

oh.. and I made my own wiring harness to tie the HIDddpower in directly
to the battery. although nobody has confirmed it anywhere, some say
that tying HID into the car's wiring can cook the wires/relay/switch
which can be costly. i didn't wanna risk it, although, a lot of people
have and had no problems..
