Yeah pain and anger is defiantly right! when you wake up of a morning feeling that stick a fork in your face is a better idea than going back to main dealer then something is wrong. I've check the fuses 31 & 38 this evening and those appear to be intact so assumedly it's not taken out the fuse when the bulb has blown... So that is bulb, igniter and fuse ruled out now! However whilst in the front I noticed that the side light bulb would come on and off randomly whilst switched on with the light console so I'm not thinking that this could be more a wiring issue.
The internal lights that I have on these not adaptive headlamps don't work at all and although I would very much like these sorted as well, I bought the car and these didn't work and had the adaptive headlamp fault whilst the D2S bulb still worked and now it doesn't. The side light and the p21W bulb from the inner lamps share from looking at it a common earth as the clipped together in the head lamp, however the side light on the drivers side works so although my side light is intermittent on the passenger side this wouldn't suggest to be the problem as it operationally different in the way it works to the drivers side.
As previously said my level of desperation has got to an all time high over it, as I never thought something as simple as a headlamp bulb would stomp so many people, even main dealer who's car it is, this is their car and they have all the software for it. We leave for Birmingham Airport is about three hours so despite being on this for some many weeks now I'm still leaving for the air port with a headlamp out. 
If anyone can add any thought on this problem then please feel free to comment as all and anything I haven't tried is appreciated. 
Regards, Mark.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
