Description of the problem | Headlight turns off by itself. Warning message "dipped headlight" comes off on the dashboard. Turn the light switch off and on and headlight comes back on (normal). Car runs with no headlights in the dark on freeway at 65mph for about 2-3 seconds. This is a common (very known) problem with a4 models. Audi is refusing to acknowledge the design/part flaw thus not issuing a safety recall. See more details here: http://www. Audizine. Com/forum/showthread.
