Self leveling headlight malfunction. I think.

That is correct, headlight adjuster malfunction. It is corrected by either getting a new bulb or ballast(usually the ballast). If it annoys you, you can pull fuse #10, to rid the warning light.H&R Race Springs, K&N Filter, Yellow HID fogs, LED Tag Lights, iForged Aero Wheels 18x8.5, Continental Extreme Contact DW tires, Gutted all 4 cats, B7 Milltek Quad Tip Catback Exhaust, Apikol Snub Mount

That sure looks like limp mode. That happened to me last week when I left my head lights on and drained her almost completely dead. Originally Posted by oef_vet

I had this issue intermittently. The dealer replaced the levelling sensor in the suspension as shown above, but I still got the warning. The last thing they did was replace the rearview mirror which was throwing a code and has some kind of sensor in it. I haven't gotten the warning since, but then again it's now daylight out when I drive home from work, so the headlights aren't on anymore.Daily driver: 2010 A5 3.2 Prestige

Was planning to take it to Eurosport in Dallas (Plano, TX to be exact). Is there an easy fix for this? I didn't want to start tearing things down and break something so if anyone knows if this is easy fix and or part number I'd appreciate it.

It seems relatively straight forward. I appreciate the info/help. Originally Posted by Lefthook
