When the aftermarket Phillips bulbs failed I put the old used Audi OEM bulbs back in from the old headlights I still had laying around yet. Still seem to be very bright after 9 years of use and around 50k miles.

Replacement Xenon bulbs, Any good ones out there other than Audi OEM?
I replaced the headlight assemblies with OEM Audi headlight assemblies and put in new aftermarket Phillips Xenon bulbs about a year ago in my wife's 2010 A5 as the lenses were getting hazy from parking outside. In one year the aftermarket (slightly higher wattage) Phillips Xenon bulbs dimmed then both failed. I see OEM Audi Xenon bulbs are like $190 each. One MB dealer place advertises them at $150 each. Are there any high quality bulbs out there? After my experience with aftermarket bulbs I would be hard pressed to buy any aftermarket Xenon bulbs again.
Thanks

Rodney mate I dont think that your experience is typical. I have used several brands including Philips and never had a failure. Most of the big companies like Hella, Bosch etc all make good products.
Mine were Phillips. Hopefully the old ones hold out until we sell it in a few years. They are still very bright.
