The right headlight keeps flickering. It will turn off sometimes when using the windshield wipers, but other than that, the headlight works perfectly fine. When it flickers, an indicator warning light activates on the dashboard. This seems to be a wiring problem. Both headlights were changed and brand new when the car was purchased. Two years later, this flickering began. The only way to stop the flickering of the headlight is to completely turn off the headlights for a few seconds, then turn them back on. Everything is fine after that. Please recall this issue. I have read many posts online with other Audi A4 owners having the same problem with their vehicles.
August 2014, driving at night, highway speeds (65mph+) both left and right headlights flickered and went out, no illumination. Took several try's to reset by light control switch. Would reset, then flicker and both headlights out. Very dangerous situation, was close to home and able to get there ok. Vehicle is in at service for repair.
Both headlights shut off at any time. Error message says left/right dipped headlamp. It seems like a design/engineering flaw. This is a dangerous safety issue, especially at night. This could result in death, injury, and monetary fines from the police. There should be an immediate recall to fix the problem.
