Description of the problem | 2005. 5 audi a4 with xenon lights. Both headlights flicker constantly and frequently turn off. By turning lights off and on, the bulb comes back on. It is dangerous for other drivers (flashing headlights) and for me (no headlights!). It is illegal, too. Dealerships and independent mechanics have suggested a range of repairs but no one seems to be sure without spending thousands (ballasts and bulbs) on a repair which may or may not work. Has been happening this way for years. |
