Headlights problem #1

I was driving on a highway when I received an error message on instrument panel stating left dipped headlight was out . Low beams are now flickering when in idle and when in motion.

Headlights problem #2

Front headlights flicker. Happened early in the morning in the dark. This happens frequently.

Headlights problem #3

Malfunction and failure of both xenon front headlights while drving vehicle. Lights consistantly would flicker and then at two different times both headlights went out leaving the driver to pull over at a high rate of speed completely in the dark. Contacted Audi to fix the problem and they would not do anything about it. Very dangerous safety issue when traveling at 75 miles per hour in a dark stretch of i70 and both of your headlights go out. If the weather would have been bad it could have been a different result.

Headlights problem #4

Problem with dipped headlight. Take vehicle to Audi dealer on 07 Jun 2011 for this problem. Dealer. They said didn't find any problem. And I was told to replace xenon headlight bulb for $440. 00.

Headlights problem #6

2007 Audi A4 - "left main headlight" error and left headlight goes out. Problem is intermittent. Dealer has replaced the headlight and still has the problem. Dealer says no errors are in the system, but I took a picture of the dash display with the error. The problem has been happening for almost a year, and frequency is almost every time I drive it. This is a safety issue because I randomly lose my front left headlight. Looking on the internet shows that it can happen to either or both headlights for many people. Please consider forcing Audi to figure out the problem and recall these vehicles for a permanent fix. Thanks.
