Description of the problem | My certified pre owned 2005 a4 had the xenon headlights changed 3 times in 1. 5 years while under warranty. Six months after the 50,000 warranty, the lights started flickering and then dimmed and flickered while driving at night with no warning on the display. I went to the dealer and both had to be replaced at a cost of $430 for the two lights and $236 dollars installation cost. I have owned the car for ~ 1. 7 years and had five new headlights. I am not audi's quality control department. I also was able to turn the lights off and on to get them back on and its very dangerous at night driving down the highway at 65 mph. Its is scary to say the least. |
