“Main beam/left dipped headlight warning came on. Second time dealing with this problem and have read that audis are notorious for the same issue but nothing has been done to correct it. Having bulb replaced is costing 360.00 at the Audi service department. Something must be done to rectify this problem. A factory recall should be ordered. Thank you”
