AUDI H.I.D. QUESTION

[spoolin_s14]

I have a 06 a4, recently i've started experiencing the flickering headlight of death!!!!!! My hid's will flicker and then go out. It's more prevalent on colder days.

 

Has anyone else ever experienced this, what was the problem?

 

I've done some searching, and can't really find much.

[Mr. Jones]

Yes,

 

Replace your bulbs (d1s) and it will gp away 90% of the time.

This is well documented on Audizine b7 a4 section.

[spoolin_s14]

thanks, I've don alot of searching and couldn't find much out

If you can, switch the bulbs or ballast first to rule that out. I thought mine was the HID bulb and it ended up being the ballast

[spoolin_s14]

ordered new bulbs, @ $35 shipped not bad if something else is wrong

[Cordell]

If they're like any other HID I've worked on there is only 3 things it can be, a piss poor connection, ballast, or bulb.

[IVRINGS]

I would say the bulb myself too, but if it ever is the ballast you can get the same ballast from mopar for 100 instead of double that. . It's on the forums too.

LOL, really?

[Mr. Jones]

LOL, really?

 

IIRC, it worked on B6's.

 

Guys on B7's with adaptive lightening haven't' had any luck though.

 

Maybe non-adaptive B7's can use the ballasts.

 

They are all made by Valeo, so it makes sense that a lot of manufacturers share the same ballast.

[spoolin_s14]

mine are adaptive, we'll have to see if the bulbs fix it!!
