Default Help...headlight question
Any advice....2008 Audi A6 (wife's car)...yesterday the drivers side headlight went pink!? Anyone know why this would happen or if it's something I can fix? Ballast, bulb looks like the same kind of bulb as my '05 C6.

Much appreciated..

Kevin

I would just take it to the Dealer, I am sure the Audi service department is really good. Typically if one goes bad the other one is not far off? I always replace in pairs.

The headlamp on my '08 C6 went pink about 3 months after purchase (new). The dealer replaced the ballast and that solved it.

Sounds like a good question to ask in the "Other Cars" forum.

Well, that is your Wife's car...

If it was your car, it would have turned blue.
