It seems that this is a "known problem" and someone has a solution - at a price...

Probably burnt reflector bowls, they can be replaced with the projector, Trup at emtuning comes highly recommended..... but here sit down at the cost.....

The dipped and main beam will likely both be the same xenon lamp, with a shutter that opens for high beam. The H7 will be the flasher, as xenon take a second to light and halogen is instant.
Audi lights of that era seemed to be silver plastic reflectors, which if you open them up will now be brown plastic. When I first got one of my S4's (high mileage) took it out at night, I could only see where I was going by the shadow of the car behind me!!!! Stripe the headlights, new projectors fitted, problem solved, worth the money! RS4 probably needs it, but not if I only use it in the day 🤣

Worse than mine, which were replaced when the car was 8 years old as they were like candles.....
I paid €400 plus shipping to the Netherlands back in 2013 for "new" bi-xenon projectors to be fitted to my headlights (also an S4 cab), but was literally like night and day afterwards!
