ah, mine are xenon and my ballast went giving similar problem - yours are different. If the bulb works when moving it to the other headlight then it sounds like the wiring is at fault or maybe the bulb holder? I had an A6 with halogens and had the same problem as you, I took the headlight itself out and connected it to the other headlight wiring to eliminate the wiring or holder - it was the holder itself that was faulty after this test in my case..
