Description of the problem	While driving either during the day or during the night either one of the lights will start flickering and then eventually go out completely. While driving home one the freeway one night the right side started to flicker and then went out completely... I turned the lights off and then turned them on and the light worked perfectly fine for 5 mins or so and then the same thing happened again! The next day as i was going to work early in the morning (while it was still a little dark) the same thing happened again... But this time with the left side. It started to flicker and then it went out completely. I turned the lights off and turned them back on and the light worked as if nothing happened. I called an audi dealer and they said to bring the car in to get this issue fixed... They quoted me at $180 for the bulb and a grand total of $450 for the bulb plus installation. I just recently bought the car and ive been reading online about all the people that are having the same problem with their headlights.... I think its only fair to have a recall due to a poor design because i dont think its very safe for me or anyone to drive with one headlight and then having the chance of the other headlight going out at the same time!
