Front bulbs

[paradisiac82]

Any recommendations of upgrades to front bulbs? looking mainly at getting rid of the orange colour (seen cheap chrome ones but are they any good?) and maybe getting a brighter glow on dipped and full beam

Philips and Osram both have whiter high performance bulbs (nightbreaker and extreme vision) that will work better than Halfords 'cheap' own brand, give them a try. A bit of forewarning; they will not last as long as standard ones as they glow hotter to emit higher light colour.

Nightbreakers for the win. After my a4 had them fitted was better than the previous hid

what about the front indicator bulbs? can these be swapped out for something not amber, as I think that looks odd

You must mean something along the lines of the Silvertech chrome bulbs that flash amber, they work well, had mine for a few years now.
