    Question about replacing Adaptive Xenon Headlight

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey yall, I've got a B7 S4 with Adaptive Cornering Xenon Lights. I left my place tonight and my right headlight flickered and then went totally out. It's flickered before in the past (and I believe I've seen both flicker at some time in the past) but usually been real fast and then been back on (usually when I hit a bump or take a corner and most often at the beginning of them coming on).

    Well tonight the light when completely off. I'm still under warranty (by about 3,000 miles) so I'm guessing it will be covered, but I'm an hour away from any Audi dealer. I was wondering if this is most likely a bulb going out or wire or something worse. I know that my hood has been repainted and I almost wondering if the car had rear-ended someone in the past but the carfax is clean and everything up front otherwise is still looking perfect (so t could have just been the original owner had some rock chips or something, I dunno).

    So I'm gonna call my dealer back in Nashville, or maybe the ATL or MGM one (I'm in auburn AL @ school but am from Nashville), but I wanted to have some feedback or ideas as to what the issue might be and what to expect.

    I appreciate the help guys and will really appreciate any input and advice on the matter.

    After reading this I'm wondering if it's a bulb or this:

    They're saying it may be a bad "ignitor" ? does that maybe sound right
