Weird that it just went out all at once. Usually with the xenon bulbs they start to go dim and "pink eye" indicating time for replacement.

Now you have to go through the OBDII port with Audi's proprietary software and configure the brand and specs of your new bulbs by scanning the bar code on the package. If you don't, the right rear speaker will go out, but only while playing certain FM frequencies.

Took the A5 in to repair exhaust pipe. Was a bit loud!


Car was literally on the drive on hoist for 20 minutes.

Car comes off hoist....driver side headlight burnt out!

FGC is gonna FGC!

The car doesn't like heights.
Ya! Something like that! LOL [emoji38]

Audi Gods demand a sacrifice, you got off easy

It's a D3S.

Glass portion of bulb looked fine. Didn't seem discolored.

Something in the integral base, perhaps?

Being an FGC, the car sensed getting serviced and decided to add a thing or two to the tap. Like someone had said, you've gotten off easy  ;D
