I have recently purchased a November 2015 A4 Avant Quattro (SE Technik) and the headlights are driving me crazy.
it is fitted with halogen bulbs and when switching from dipped beam to main beam there is an area between the two beams (on the drivers side) where no light shines. Every other 4lamp unit car I have owned has had the main beam pattern overlap the dip beam pattern to give a continuous beam of light in front.
This car has two separate areas (but ONLY on the drivers side). The unlit area between the two continues around to the side of the car and gives the appearance of a black beam bouncing across my field of vision at night. Apart from leaving swathes of road unlit, it is very distracting and, in my opinion, dangerous.
My local Audi dealer (not the dealer who sold the car) says that this is normal!
i cannot accept this.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is it fixable?
Help me keep sane, a solution would be great, please.
