| I purchased a used 2004 audi a4 in november 2007 from an audi dealership. in the fall of 2008, both my headlights and both taillights all went out within a month of each other. i brought the car into the audi dealership and paid for service replacement bulbs for all four lights. about a month ago, my car dashboard gave a warning that my rear left fog light went out. i have not replaced that yet, as i do not use my fog lights. last week, i got another dashboard message that my right front headlight has dipped. the right headlight is now much more dim than the left one. because it has been summer, i have very rarely needed to drive at dark using headlights in the past few months. i researched on the internet and found several complaints for audi cars with dipped front headlight problems, and no resolutions or true fixes for the problem. at a minimum, it appears it will cause great expense to have the headlight fixed, only to have a very high chance of the problem recurring anyway. several of those website referred me to this complaint form. i have not yet contacted the audi dealer about fixing this problem, as i don't want to pay for just a temporary fix. as we now get into the fall and winter months, i am concerned for my safety while driving in the dark. | |||

| 2004 audi a4 3.0 reporting left dipped headlight with left headlight flickering on and off. with no known way to fix this problem, per audi dealership, what happens when the right headlight also goes bad? not only dangerous to the driver, but on-coming traffic! only a matter of time before someone get's killed related to audi headlight issue! something needs to be done & immediately. ~there were no events leading up to it's failure & this problem occurs continuously... | |||

| Left xenon headlight began to flicker, and after driving for a few more days, it went out completely. i replaced the bulb, but the headlight still does not work. everything i have read online indicates the ballast or ignitor might need replacement. this is extremely dangerous, given that the headlights spontaneously stop working while driving. | |||
