Not too sure about the Xenons maybe ballast starting to go bad.
I must say that S4 must have been a joy. I remember wanting one of those so bad after a friend loaned us one for a week. I still kinda do.
Good luck.

The S4 was a lot of fun. Tons of useable power. very smooth and very good looking.
The CV Boots look good, all clean etc.
I am going to start with the thrust/control arm bushings (these are different correct?).
Do you guys recommend OEM, Meyle HD, or PowerFlex bushings? What is the pricing comparison? I am looking for the more comfort but i dont want to do them every 10k...
I will also inspect the Ball joints (not really sure how to) But if the thrust/control arm bushings don't entirely solve the problem I will turn to the ball joints. again do you guys recommend oem? Aftermarket? rough pricing on these? When I Jab the brakes I can feel the slight play that you are talking about. But thats not bugging me like the hard bottoming out.
Im not looking to mod the car too much but i really wanted to change out the angel eyes to LED, after reading some of the threads about random other problems resulting after i am kind of scared. Any feed back on this? People who have done it without problems of any kind?
Thanks!
