4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2009

My wife and child were driving through the desert in arizona when our Audi's driver-side xenon headlight failed. Then again 2 months later, driving with my wife and child through California the passenger-side headlight failed. Both times I was told it was the bulb. But we couldn't simply buy a new bulb. Audi needs to order it and take off the bumper to replace them. About a month later, driving through the arizona desert with my family, the driver-side light went out again. This time Audi service said they need to replace the igniter for the xenon lamp. This all happened within 5 months time. I'd only owned the vehicle about 2 years. When these lights fail, I have to use fog lamps or high beams to have at least 2 lights working at once.
