Right dipped headlight audi ошибка
Well this might be a strange one, i'm basically getting this warning message on my dash saying 'Right dipped headlight warning' but my headlights work fine and it comes warning me all the time. It will come on for 10/15 seconds then go off then come back after 10/15 seconds, any ideas what this could be? maybe a disturbed sensor?

Some possibilities: Try changing the bulb, or at least plugging it in and out to clean the contacts, check the earth wiring (brown) on the RH unit, or perhaps the on-board supply control unit (electronic box that supplies power to all front lamps) may be faulty and sending the wrong signal on the CAN bus. Sounds a bit like a contact problem (intermittent high resistance) somewhere. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, first thing i'll try is pull the bulb out and clean the contacts and plug it back in seems like a simple enough job!

Well little update on things, went out in the car last night and my right side light didn't come on but after a few minutes of driving it came on, so i'm guessing the bulb is on it's way out, anyone got a link to buy OEM bulbs from? (don't want another error message for having the wrong bulbs)

Not necessarily the bulb mate. If it went off and then on again, this would suggest to me it is a wiring issue. Check the wires on back if connector are all intact properly and no corrosion etc. Had a similar problem few years ago but on the rear.
I doubt it very much is the bulb, but could be wrong.
But in the case if it is the bulbs then don't buy from the stealers as they will charge a fortune. You can get the same bulbs for less from places like eurocarparts etc. I believe the oem bulbs are by phillips.

Coming to think of it i did have some work done on the car last week and it's only started since then so i'll have check that and could possibly be loose!

I've had a bulb fail in this mode - if the filament is burning out and collapsing - but as had been said, it's not common. I'm impressed with Audi's warning system - would be good if other cars had it judging by the number of cars I see with brake lights, headlights etc not working.

Hi Guys, Im new to the whole forum thing. I have a 06 plate Audi A3 8P 2.0 tdi 140.
About two/three weeks ago I had the 'left dipped head' error message come up on the dash. It came on and went off intermitantly for a day or so. I didnt think anything of it as the lights were working fine. Last weekend I was driving back home from a weekend away and the error message came up again and the left dipped headlight went out. Main beam still works fine. I stopped at the next garage and thought that a new bulb would solve the problem. WRONG! I spent about 20 minutes in the dark trying to work out the problem then gave up and carried on the next 100 miles with full beams on as low low level setting as I could.
Since then Ive looked at the fuses but I can't seem to find if the headlights are individually fused? Im not very car/electrical savy!
Ive looked at various forums but they mainly link to HID lights. Mine are the standed lights with halogen H7 bulbs.
I wanted to see if any has had the same problem and solved it before I take it to Audi to have my bank account drained. Any ideas?

Sounds like a dodgy bulb or a loose connection, you should be fine changing it yourself. by the way, unless i'm mistaken the full beams cannot be adjusted up or down, that setting is only for the dipped lights! you'd have blinded thousands of drivers.

Thanks for the reply anthonyess.
I will take the headlight unit out at the weekend and have a look at all the connections. Ive switched the bulbs from both left hand and right hand side and the one from the right (that was working) didnt work on the left hand side and the one from the left hand side worked in the right. So will check all connections as I said and see what happens.
The lights seemed to go down a little, I might have just been me seeing what I wanted to see though. However my lights weren't as bright as most of the dipped lights on newer vehicles and 4x4's these days, I wouldnt have driven otherwise.

Strange! Exactly the same thing happened to me on the way home!! Same year car as yours also!! Not had a chance to check any wiring yet though as assumed it was the bulb which had gone.

That is strange! Hopefully for you its just the bulb which has gone. Im not looking forward to a full inspection by Audi if I cant find the problem! Will keep you posted if I find anything, if you could do the same also hopefully we can sort them out without too much cost!
The number of High-Intensity Discharge lights as known as HID lights is increasing on the road. As it now comes as a standard to many high-end vehicles giving a premium stylish look that some halogens can’t achieve. Xenon bulbs work differently than halogens and produce a brighter, whiter light than a halogen car. Unless you decide to buy and own a vehicle with cheaper headlamps such as Halogens, mostly all vehicles including Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and many others now come with xenon HID headlights.
A xenon HID bulb tends to have longer lifespan but like every electronic component it may fail and requires a replacement when your vehicle warns you through a message saying “Left / Right Dipped Headlight”
What are dipped headlights?
Dipped headlights are located at the front of the vehicle next to your main beam headlights and sidelights and these are designed for increased visibility when driving at night time. Depending on your vehicle, dipped beam bulbs can be Halogen, LED or Xenon pointed down towards the road to prevent other road users from being dazzled from its brighter white light. Dipped beam is also commonly known as low beam.
What does this error mean?
Dipped headlight warning message appears to be a super common issue on many Audis and can point out to many different problems with your headlights. But to simply put, Dipped Headlight in, Audi –for say, means that there is something wrong with your low beam headlight. This error is signified on your dashboard with a yellow bulb pointing down with an “X” over the picture and known as “Dipped Headlight”
Why does this error occur?
There could be several reasons for your vehicle may show this warning message such as:
- Xenon light bulb has completed its life and needs a new one
- Xenon Control Unit also known as HID ballast has failed
Trouble shooting & fixing the error
However, there could be other reasons, but the most common issue for this warning message is that D1S D2S or D3S 35W HID OEM bulb has failed, ofcourse in additiona it could be caused by malfunction xenon headlamp ballast module.
In very rare cases both parts fail at the same time.
Usually you receive the message for only one side i.e: left side or right side and most often for the left side, so that become a big clue for troubleshooting.
If you are getting this issue on the one side (left side), then to detect and isolate; if it is headlight bulb, ballasts or something internal in the headlight itself, simply swap both the bulbs and ballasts from left to right headlight and check if the dipped headlight error on your dash board changes from “Dipped Headlight Left” to “Dipped headlight right” or vice versa. If it does, then you know that the issue lies either in the bulb or the ballasts (xenon control module under headlight housing).
In addition it could show this message:
Vehicle lights: malfunction!
Please contact service
You can also check for the color of the HID gas discharge bulb. If the gas inside the bulb has gone dark black in the middle, or in working condition it has started emitting purple light then definitely it has completed its life and creating light issue.
In this case, buying a new xenon bulb and replacing it with a bad one would do the good for your vehicle.
If the problem is not isolated to one side and the error on dashboard doesn’t change, it means we need to troubleshoot reasons other than faulty bulb.
Check if your headlights “flicker” on/off occasionally and goes completely off after that or notice that if your dipped headlight error comes only in cold weather or at first start up, it’s likely your xenon ballasts may be out on their way and replacing them with new ballast might be the cheapest and easiest solution to this.
The failed ballasts on your Audi have burned through the bulbs, so if you’ve had bad ballast for a while then you’ll need new bulbs too. So, it is strongly recommended that you change both bulbs and ballasts for even if the ballasts were faulty, the bulbs likely had suffered the damage from the bad ballasts and will need to be replaced soon so it is better that you do it all at once. And since resolving a dipped headlight error can be tricky so it’s better to be aggressive on the treatment of this issue leaving no possible source of causing error.
Installing new ballasts on your car would require you to do the same coding which you can either do yourself with the help of a VAG-COM or can take your car to the dealer such as xenons4u where you can find the xenon HID bulbs, ballasts and can get the faulty bulb or ballast replaced with the coding it required.

It's my first time seeing this so. I got a warning saying "right dipped headlight". I read somewhere that it can mean a few different things. The right bulb is out, does it most likely mean I just need to replace the bulb? (OEM HID's btw)

yeah - if your bulb is out, then that's the error message - the "dipped" bulb is the low beam IIRC.
(EDIT: I have halogen bulbs, so I'm not sure about how the error relates to a ballast or something else)

i have the same issue right now, i was hoping it was only the bulb but it ended up being a fried ballast, $200 used :(
Okay. I made a few trips just now and to my surprise, both lights work with no warning. Just on my way home after a third trip, the right light would work sporadically, then a bulb out warning is lit in the display. I turn the headlight switch on and off and sometimes the light goes on sometimes it doesn't. Does this sound like a fried ballast??

i get the "right dipped headlight" warning probably once a week. its has been going on for about 3 months. i have a 2002 with original xenon's so i think my bulbs are just going bad. im just awaiting my ecodes and then ill get some 600k's off ebay
I had the same issue, and it ended up being my ballast was just shot. I had less than 1000 hrs on the bulb, so I ruled that out. Replaced the ballast and no more issues.
I've gotten that twice in the past week where it said left bulb dipped and had a bulb out warning. Everything works fine, I attribute it to the cold weather but who knows.
Thanks for those who replied so far. At least I'm getting ideas on what I should repair. So I've made a couple more trips since earlier when the light was turning on and off sporadically. The light bulb is finally out with the warning on consistently. Could it possibly be the ballast for sure??

oh btw, it's been rainy and cold lately, a bit of moisture is in the headlights. Could that have any effect on the connections/wiring/etc??

Cold weather seems to make my headlamps act up as well (one of my D1S bulbs is on the way out). but my guess would be the bulb. If you can borrow a known-good bulb you can test and see if its a bulb or ballast issue.

Ok so I decided to check the ballast and see if the right side ballast is really the problem. To do this, I figured I switch the ballasts and test it. But to my surprise, they are two different kinds.
Apparently one on the right side headlight ballast was made in 2002 and the left one was made in 2003. The previous owner of this vehicle obviously replaced one of the headlights. hhmmm how about an S4 bi-xenon upgrade. A new ballast for these 2002 headlight cost $200 anyway.

I'm having this same problem, but left side, then my left headlight went out =/
Really don't feel like having to buy a new set of bulbs either. I should be able to swap the right and left ballast to see if that's the issue right?

if you don't want to pay $200 for one OEM ballast. then just spend half of that on a brand new aftermarket set of HID's. you'll get new ballasts, bulbs, ignitors, everthing. it'll just most likely take a little bit of fanagling to get the ballast to fit somewhere clean

Yeah I kinda thought of that but I think I'll stick with OE. Anyone here have S4/bi-xenons or 2003 OEM HID headlight (right) available for sale??

my 03 a4 just started the right dipped headlight too. so from the little bit of searching i've done it seems it's probably the ballast and not just the bulb. in that case wouldn't it just be better to go with a set of aftermarket lights rather than the same stock junk?

I ended up having D2S bulbs luckily, since they're cheaper. Just bought a pair from DDM tuning for 49 bucks shipped.
When I took out my old bulb it was black instead of clear. Prolly not too good of a sign haha. On another note my right bulb was apparently replaced very recently. Guess previous owner or dealership went cheap and only bought one.
Problem solved. replaced ballast and all's well. I got a used one from eBaY for $150 and a connector adapter for $35. I replaced the 5G type ballast(thicker one) to a more up to date 5GL type (thinner). Hence the need for a connector adapter for 5G to 5GL conversion. Picked up the adapter from LLTEK good product but bad service and shipping took way too long than promised.

good to know, this happened to me also awhile back. if anyone else has the need for a ballast pm me, i have a couple laying around somewhere.
sorry O.P., i saw the thread just a little too late. hah
so how did you guys, who say it was the ballast, narrow it down to knowing it was the ballast and not the bulb?
im having this issues, but its random, and the bulb usually comes back on shortly after.. just now on the drive home from work it went off then came back on like 4 times in 3 minutes.. the right dipped headlight warning was on, i got out of the car. and the light was still on . wtf. im guessing its the ballast too cause it to come back on and off, possibly a faulty/loose connection.. havent had a chance to look.
I had this problem when I first got my car..brought it back to the dealership and because it was under warranty they replaced the xenon bulb. so its deff. a faulty bulb

I was in the same situation just when the ballast was going out. the light would turn on and off randomly then after a day or two the light was completely out. I checked the headlight bulbs and they seem to be ok, so my second guess was the ballast. The best thing you can do take your ballasts out and swap them to check for sure if you have a fried ballast; considering you have the same type ballasts..unlike in my situation(see above posts). I would also check on the year those ballasts where manufactured. If it's more than 5 yrs or so you have a good chance that the ballast need replacement.
