Problems with 2005 Audi A4 EXTERIOR LIGHTING

While driving, the headlight flickers and goes out. if headlights are turned off and back on, headlight works just fine. when i searched on the internet many individuals with this car make have had the same problem. replacing the bulb does not fix the problem. some individuals have said that audi dealerships say they don't know how to fix the problem

My right headlight has been flickering for about 3 months, and a few times it has gone out completely. turning the headlights off and back on fixes it for a couple days. i waited to take it to the dealer until it needed maintenance, and also so there would be more dtc evidence for them to troubleshoot with. the left headlight started doing the same thing so i took it in. audi cannot replicate and will not replace the headlights.

So i was driving from work like around 10:25 pm monday night september 14 2015 when i notice that the right headlight of my car started flickering and all the sudden went off which caused me to not being able to see that well, and there were pedestrians walking on the road which caused me to drive more slow than the allowed speed limit good thing it wasn't far from home where it happen...next day the light came back on and same thing happened again the light started flickering again and it went off at this point i've been looking around to actually fixed this issue with no luck also i've seen a lot people complaints about the same issue which they called the dipped headlight issue.. t

Headlights dip and continue to flicker and turn off during mild driving. this becomes dangerous when driving at night and the lights turn off due to the flicker.

Right side headlight will go out randomly and is very unsafe. i have replaced light bulb and problem still exists. i have read many problems and audi is aware of this but chooses not to do anything. *tr

I was driving down the highway and have continuously gotten the "dipped light" warning on my display. my lights procceded to flicker and then shut off. i was driving right next to a car and had to pull over because they wouldn't come on. it took 15 minutes before the headlights returned to normal. i was extremely scared when my headlights turned off. this is a big safety issue and has occurred 3 times since then. i have replaced the bulbs and that did not solve the problem. i know there is a tsb for this problem, but i think there is a need for a recall as i almost got into an accident on the highway. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 audi a4. the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, both of the headlights started flickering on and off as the left dip light warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they stated that the contact would have to bring the vehicle in when the failure was actually occurring. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000. the current mileage was 105,000. the vin was not available.

Left and right headlights dipped automatically, will also go off; headlight will also flicker before dipping; have gone to have fixed but dealer unable to determine problem; they indicate they need to get them tp replicate the error but could not duplicate; this is a serious safety problem that the dealer appears not willing to fix; appears to be a problem with audi's overall; *tr

Repeated headlamp failure. *tr

Right headlight flickered and went out. instruments indicated right headlight dipped. cycled power on lights and lights returned for 30 sec and then continued problem. *tr

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.php/332613-class-action-lawsuit-dipped-headlight-flicker-problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 audi a4. the contact stated that the head lights failed. the contact was able to engage the lights for re-illumination however, the failure was recurring. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 55,000.

Left dipped and right dipped headlight on dash warning. lights will flicker then just shut completely off. *tr

Problem: the left headlight flickers, i receive a warning message that "left headlight dipped, then the left headlight will go out. to "reset" this, i can turn my lights off, then turn them on again, but i can only do this when stopped, as it's unsafe to do this while driving at night. once i turn them on again, they'll be ok again for a while, but the process will repeat itself again. *tr
