Description of the problem	I purchased the vehicle on 02/11/2012 and that very evening when i had the opportunity to use the lights, my right light began to flicker and then failed completely. This really unnerved me as i was in an area with no street lights. And didn't really know what was happening. I instinctively turned the lights off and then on again, and this made them come back on. Unfortunately, this happened numerous times that night. I feel this is a blatant safety issue especially as i had family members in my car and their well being was compromised. I have researched this problem via the internet and it appears to be rampant on audi's and the dealerships don't either know what to do or don't want to do it as for the expense of the parts. I spoke with no less than 8 audi dealerships around the pa northeast and no one could positively say what would be the problem. I am having the bulb replaced at my cost because i bought the car used and have no warranty. Now i know why i was able to purchase it at a good cost. Last owner was probably crazy over this. By all accounts, even replacing the bulb might not work. There are no less than 4 tsb's out on this problem. Why audi gets away with this is a travesty and this should be remedied as soon as possible before someone gets killed.
