2014 Audi A4 HID Headlight, What is OEM Bulb?

[Junkyard Dog]

Which bulb is the OEM bulb on my 2014 A4 Premium Line A4? Google returns all sorts of crap trying to sell me this, that, or the other thing. Youtube will show me how to swap it out, I am sure, but I wanted to put OEM back in there.

They are really easy to swap. Pull each headlight housing off (4 bolts ea), unplug the harness and remove the bulb. 15 minute job.

Ok, I ordered Wagner, which RockAuto states is the OEM.

You may want to check if it is the ballast or bulb. Usually the bulbs outlast the ballast.

Phillips bulbs.

on the 2014, driver's side, is it necessary to pull the headlight housing out? It looks like there is enough room to just reach in there and swap it out. This guy does it without removing the driver's side housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLMN1pIpku8

Ah! I will have to research how to do that. The passenger side went out in October, and it was the headlight. Now it is the driver side.

I swapped bulbs about half a year ago. If I remember correctly, I did both without removing the housings.

Thanks for all the input, guys. That has to be the easiest headlight bulb swap ever. I did not remove the housing. I just reached in there, pulled out the cover, twisted the old bulb slightly, and removed it. I then unplugged it and plugged the new on onto the socket. Then I inserted the new bulb and slightly twisted it to lock it in place.

I was done in less than two minutes.

Very easy.

The bulb is Wagner, but I noticed the box said Osram on the bottom (Wagner on the side) and Made in Germany. Rock Auto says this is the OEM bulb, and RockAuto.com has been pretty accurate in the past about identifying OEM.

Anyway, thanks for all of the help.
