2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2010

There is a failure with my high intensity discharge(hid) lights that causes them to flicker and sometimes to turn off completely while in use/ the failure occurs every time the hid lights are turned on. Bulbs have been changed, but the condition is not resolved. An alarm comes on screen which reads "left light dipped" or "right light dipped" and results in the light turning off completely on the dipped side.

At least quarterly I have to replace one or more bulbs. Within this past week my rr brake bulb & lr parking light blew.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2007

Since I purchased this vehicle, the hid lights have sporadically flickered. Within the past year, they randomly flicker and sometimes turn off briefly making for a hazardous driving situation. I really wish Audi would fix this problem because there are hundreds of owners having the exact same problems.
