2005 Audi A4 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	947372

Model	A4
Model Year	2005
File date	30/11/11
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	5 minutes after driving the vehicle to work as i do everyday, the error message on the dash read "left headlight dipped", losing one side of the lighting to the vehicle. It continued to do this each day afterward whenever driving in the early morning or evening when lights would be required. A few months after, the right side had dipped as well. I looked up some possible scenarios of what was causing this issue and found a few things but have not pinpointed the issue; will have to try the dealership soon. 1) change out the bulbs (bi-xenon) 2) change out the ballasts 3) some other issue this is a safety concern of mine and many others as one day both lights will go dark while driving at night and will surely induce some type of accident. I hope that the dot will strongly consider forcing audi to resolve this issue as this is a preventable situation. Thank you,
