Hi Ian...welcome to the Forum

That's a strange fault....the only thing I can think of if it is a HID lamp is that the igniter/amplifier may be faulty.

Keep us updated on what you find.

Good morning  Trevor. ..thank you for your reply. ....do have a question. ...is the igniter...is that what is on the end of their bulb the square  box what the bulb fits in ....have replaced  bulb still the same ....i have also changed. ...the ballast from the drivers side no difference. ...thanks ian

Seems like all the components it could have been you have replaced then.

I do wonder if it is the bulb....as in quality, maybe a fault with it?

Good evening  Trevor ..found  the problem. ...should have had d3s bulbs in had d1s bulbs in instead .....somebody  must have put them in before I bought the car .....the wrong bulbs didn't  have any stickers  on the back of the igniter  box .....had to ring my local audi dealer ....and they sorted it for me charged me 160 per bulb ...but at least it's sorted  ....
