Audi A4 "right dipped headlight" problem, was Audi A4 "left dipped headlight" problem

I posted the following message about a month ago:



The left headlight of my 2006 Audi A4 quattro has this annoying -- and
>dangerous -- problem:
>1. The left headlight flickers
>2. It then turns itself off
>3. The message "left dipped headlight" appears
>4. The message is changed to a sign indicating that the lightbulb has failed.

I took my A4 to the dealer and two things were done:


- the code (presumably software version) for the light were checked and it was correct


- the igniter was changed And the result?


- the problem with the left headlight disappeared


- the same problem begins to occur on the right headlight !


Has anybody seen this weird problem? Can the left headlight circuitry somehow interact with the right one?

Or did the shop simply swap the igniters?

sounds more like it...........while backcharging Audi for a new one.
