99 A6 Headlights and Turnsignals Problem
 

Hi!

My low-beam head lights and turn signals are suddenly not working. They
worked last night, and stopped when I cranked the car this morning. I've
pulled every fuse and none appear to be blown. High beams still work fine
as do the flashers and all four turn signal bulbs blink when I activate the
alarm system

Any ideas??

If you have brights working and all fuses are fine, its the bulbs.
Replace both of them with brand new bulbs. I had same problem and
believe it or not its enough of a coincidence to have both blown at the
same time... simple electrical fixes can cure other problems in these
high sensitive Audis we have. :-)

Turns out it was the ignition switch. There is a known issue with wire
shorts in or near the switch related to accessories that run while the
engine is running. My AudiShop disassembled, rewired the short and fixed
the problem for less than $200.
