Consumer Description

THE ISSUE INITIALLY STARTED WITH BOTH HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE AUDI DEALERSHIP STATED IT MAY JUST BE AN ISSUE WITH THE XENON BULBS. NOT LONG AFTER, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD FLICKER AND GO OUT PROMPTING A "RIGHT HEAD LIGHT DIPPED" MESSAGE. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE RIGHT HEAD LIGHT TO WORK AGAIN IS TO SHUT THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON. UNTIL ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT BUT IT TURNS OUT THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT IS DOING THE SAME. TWICE NOW I HAVE HAD BOTH HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 2013829/3 BUT AUDI WILL NOT DO A RECALL ON THE HEAD LIGHTS. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT. *TR
