I'm in a headlight nightmare that I cant seem to wake up from. The dash warning says Right side Dipped beam malfunction and Range Control Module defective. ( I've heard this a familiar thing with these vehicles) I've replaced both, plus all the fuses, Both Ballasts, The headlight switch and checked as much of the wiring that I could get to. Has anyone else had this experience? I'd still like to try and find the problem before turning it over to my mechanic $$$$

This post would be better in the Q7 forum. Admin, can you move please.

Making a guesstimate, but have you scanned car, other than just the dash fault? If 2011, then suspect bi-xenon and possibly linked to range control modules which live on front and rear suspension, passenger side. The units have a pivot arm that adjusts with the suspension at rest or when loaded. Try that first. You’ll need wheels off to see it. Check the arms and wiring.

Thank you , it's my first time posting. I will be more aware.

Apologies, but I’m missing the relevance to this post.

Done. New topic title is "Headlight lenses".

A further correction to the title for clarity. It is now "Dipped beam fault".
