Left low beam not working, help needed.

I changed the Xenon bulb as well checked the fuses. Fuse 21 - Left Low Beam is fine, and I installed a new bulb. Anything else I should check before I bring it to the dealer. I am out of warranty.

Look here......

Happened to my euro's. Not sure where you can get the part though... I had to hack it off my stock headlights (as shown...).

Same problem with mine....

Passenger side light will cut on/off every once in a while. If I tap on the housing lens, the light will come back on.

Wonder if this part is available a la carte?

You should try borrowing another S4's housing.......

If it works, the little black part shorted. New euro's would be a good solution if that is your problem (they do come with). Stock housings look like *** anyway....

I have never talked to anyone who has found that part. :-/

I would imagine you could order it at a dealer, but I have never tried myself.
You could look around at local junk yards, I am sure you could find a housing out of an A4/S4... Spare parts are always good to have around.
