The hid xenon headlights have dimmed to the point where driving at night could become difficult. There is a recall (05v096000) for 2004 audi a4's with hid headlights but this VIN. Is not included. Possibly a known problem to audi.

When cold temperature outside and low beam headlights are used. Dash will read out with (left headlight dipped) error. Seems to be a common issue among this car model

Right and left headlights dipped error. Both headlights not working making driving unsafe. Multiple attempts to fix and research many other audi owners have the same issue and still not able to fix. The bulbs are working fine as I swapped them with another audi owner.

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 gets 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...

"intermittent headlight malfunction. Over the course of a year and a half of ownership, the right headlight has malfunctioned (turned off), with no consistent cause apparent. The specific error message that appears in the driver information screen is "right headlight dipped". This condition is both unsafe, and illegal - as many states will issue a traffic violation for driving with a non-functioning headlight. It has happened about 7-8 times, the headlight flickers, then goes out, but will come back on when the car is restarted, then be fine for weeks or months at a time. The dealership has been notified of the problem on at least 3 visits, and has claimed that everything is fine and they can not reproduce. They have suggested/guessed that it is the xenon light bulb itself, however it has checked out fine each time, and as mentioned, has functioned flawlessly after each occurrence with merely a restart of the vehicle. No parts have been repaired or replaced, however they have claimed to perform a visual inspection of the electrical connections on at least one visit. Anecdotal evidence (conversational, and via internet owners' forums) suggests that the problem is widespread among a substantial portion of audi's model range and years."
