Description of the problem | I own a 2005 audi a4 and my headlights keep flickering and then go out. Either the right one or the left one goes out. I'll get either a left dipped headlight out or right dipped headlight out warning on the dash. It's recently been the right one going out but it started with left going out most of the time. This happens more than 50% of the time and is becoming a safety issue especially on the dark roads i travel on at night. I've already hit a deer in this car once, so this issue really concerns me, and i can't seem to get it fixed. I've notices this issue is happening to many other audi owners in the forums and blogs i've read about it. I have taken it to the dealer but the don't get an error code and have been unable to fix it. Others have replaced the bulbs but the issue will continue after a couple of months i've noticed. Something needs to be done about this issue or at in the dealership being able to detect an error code for this. They want you to take it to them when the headlight is out and that is to inconvenient and dealerships are closed at night anyway. |
