Re: Annoying Lights+Error
Confirmed: you have DS1 xenon headlights. They are single xenon, auto leveling.
the owner of your car must have been a real clown because he got rid of the proper ballasts and bulbs.
The proper valeo ballast is supposed to seal up the big opening in the bottom of the headlight. Halogen headlights do not have a hole in the bottom here.
Do you have condensation issues every time it rains?
Do you have dipped headlight errors?
You need two of these ballasts
Audi B6 A4 Quattro 1.8T > Lighting > Headlights > ES#251855 Audi B6 D1S Hid Ballast - 3D0907391B
two of these bulbs.
Audi B6 A4 Quattro 1.8T > Lighting > Headlights > ES#5862 Xenon Headlight Bulb - Priced Each - N10566101
its expensive but thats what should have came with your car in the first place. This will solve your problem.

Re: Annoying Lights+Error
I really appreciate your help. Thanks alot, but 1 last question. Can i get the ballast you have? I would like to keep the HID'S without the headache and if getting better quality HID'S would help, i would rather get thoes then spend 1 grand +.

You could just disconnect everything from that HID kit and just buy a DDM or VVME HID kit, since they are very inexpensive and work great considering the price. just a suggestion.

Re: Annoying Lights+Error
what he said. Except you may run into the same problem you had before and you will have a giant hole in the bottom of your headlights making you prone to condensation everytime it rains.

Re: Annoying Lights+Error
Hmm so not a guaranteed fix. I dont get condensation, and no dipped light bulb error. Thanks guys for helping. If anyone else is looking at this thread and needs some more help here : Getting ESP, ABS, and flashing brake light error after HID install [Archive] - AudiForums.com
Ill research around and see if those kits have the same problem. Thanks again a4rob, helped me once again. And MapleSyrup
