Description of the problem	This car was purchased used - so it may have been a previous issue. However, initially, the dashboard panel indicated that there was a "right dipped headlight." then the headlight issue would switch to the left and it would happen intermittently. For a short period of time if i toggled the headlight switch on the dashboard back and forth - the lights would go back to normal for a short period of time. However, now the issue does not resolve itself by doing this. And, on occasion in the dark - both headlights will go out completely. I have researched public forums and it seems to be a community issue with some audi vehicles. This is a huge safety problem and someone is eventually going to get hurt or worse. Please investigate. This is a forum listing years of complaints from several audi drivers: http://www. Audizine. Com/forum/archive/index. Php/t-332613. Html *js
