my passenger headlight bulb occasionally goes out?
sometimes it cuts out and the bulb warning light comes on. then if i turn it off and back on it works? but turns off shortly after a few minutes. i checked the price of a new bulb... $208 for a single low-beam H.I.D. bulb!?

ECS Tuning has bulbs for ALOT less :-)
Different color temps are available, starting with stock at $115....
agree, it's unlikely that your problem is a bulb.
FWIW, I replaced mine because the OEMs had yellowed and faded. New bulbs (at 5 years and approx 100k miles) made a truely amazing difference. Yep, they're crazy expensive, but actually worth it. They all apparently do this. Think of it as a maintenance item, they just wear out. If their faded, get new ones... And.. conserve your HID's, don't use them for daytime running lights...<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=225HP&mo del=TT&submodel=Quattro&category=Lighting& amp;subcategory=Headlight">HID replacements</a></li></ul>

Re: If its intermittent, doubtful that the bulb "blew"
Just had the bulb replaced.. dealer said it seemed to be a connection between the bulb and the socket... has had this in other 2005 TT's.. thankfully covered by warranty...
