00:19Addressing flickering issues quickly ensures a reliable, safer driving experience.

00:241. Weak OR failing battery.

00:30A dying battery often leads to inconsistent voltage, causing lights to flicker.

00:37Audi A4s rely on stable electrical systems, so a failing battery may not deliver constant power.

00:44Replacing or recharging the battery can eliminate flickering headlights.

00:502. Faulty alternator.

00:55A malfunctioning alternator may not charge the battery properly, leading to voltage dips.

01:01Flickering often occurs when the alternator struggles to maintain consistent power output.

01:08Check for alternator issues if flickering coincides with other electrical malfunctions.

01:143. Loose OR corroded wiring.

01:19Damaged or corroded wiring can disrupt the power flow to the headlights, causing flickering.

01:43Flickering could be caused by a failing headlight bulb,

01:46especially if the bulb is nearing the end of its lifespan.

01:49Poor-quality aftermarket bulbs may also lead to flickering due to compatibility issues.

01:55Replacing the headlight bulb with an Audi-approved option can resolve flickering.

02:025. Faulty headlight control module.

02:07The headlight control module manages the electrical current to your lights.

02:11A malfunction can cause a regular operation.

02:13Software glitches or hardware failure in the control module often result in flickering lights.

02:20Reprogramming or replacing the module may be necessary to fix the issue.

02:26Conclusion

02:29Audi A4 headlight flickering can stem from battery, alternator, or wiring issues.
