So... I'll put this in point form for clarity.

2 weeks ago - Left front fog light goes out. No biggie, order up an HID fog light kit.
1.5 weeks ago - Begin getting intermittent headlight level sensor error.
2 days ago - Install "no code" LED licence plate lights. No issues so far.
Tonight - Left rear parking light, brake light are out. Front parking light says it's out but it's actually flashing at a regular rate. Similar to the signal light but at the intensity of a parking light.

Is this all coincidence or is this a symptom of a larger problem, say a relay or controller problem. Will do a Vag-com scan after the Flames game but thought I'd use the intermission to type this out. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Update: Vag-com scan shows open circuit faults with the rear lights and fog light so probably just bulbs out? Still mystified by the flashing front park light. Can't think of a cause and the vag-com scan didn't pick it up.

Your Audi is losing it because the Flames are going to miss the playoffs. Give it a few weeks and I am sure she will be fine.

I have an 2005 Avant as well and I am having some bulb issues in my tail lights. the right tail light is giving me a error code but it is working fine. I may have to replace the tail lights entirely as they have condensation problems.

Funny... I always thought my Audi was a football fan...

Yeah, I hear that about condensation. Pretty much every light assembly on my car is wet inside. Perhaps that's a contributing factor. Anyway, I'm gonna pull the bulbs in the rear (tonight hopefully) and see what the deal is.

For the rear lights, also check for corrosion on the tabs that touch the bulbs and bend them slightly so they make better contact with the bulb.

Bingo! Looks like the moisture in the lens housing has caused the bulb holder to corrode. One of the bulbs even shattered from getting wet I think. Anyone know a good place to buy new taillights for a 2005 A4 Avant?
