As you've fitted the hid lights my guess is that you've fried the onboard supply control unit J519, this controls all your lights inc the indicators and more? If you have brace yourself for a big bill, these cost something like ÂŁ300 plus it will need some diagnostics suggest get one of these off eBay then let the garage do the diagnostics after
This part is 8x0907063 with one or two letters after
Search on eBay for item 111962081687 this is posibly what you want!
 
Unfortunately on today's modern cars (not only Audi) the electrics are cut down to the very bare minimum, you change something like a light bulb or piggy back of a circuit you can overload that circuit, as in your case the wire from the light is a .35 just big enough to take that bulb and it goes to J519 the onboard supply controller!, this is a electronic computer that has posibly solid state relays to control the indicators, over time of this part been overworked it has given up the ghost and burned out!
This is very posibly due to the larger wattage bulbs
My advice is change this controller before you take your car in, you will need a bit of diagnostic to sort some parts out though?
 
Well that's were the relay is and your lights are controlled from other than the switch
After the garage has diagnosed the problem I know what they are going to say, " we will only fit new bits"
Are you in the UK if so we're I may be able to help
 
Very easy just awkward and you do have to stand on your head, it's under dash between the steering wheel and the (a) post just above the peddles, remove lower dash panel, release fuse panel if there's a lower fuse panel hanging off of relays unclip that the the onboard controller clips out with 3 large connectors it takes about 10 mins to take out and replace
You will need some diagnostics but you can't do the remote key that's a Audi job, but all the rest is one to one copy
I you buy a new controller from Audi I beleve it comes ready set up for the car :roll:
 
if you have the wireless button key to unlock lock the car you will have to take it to audi and only audi can do this unless youve got somebody like kufatec over there, all the rest is soft coding and can be done with ross-tech or simular, i put a new controller on my car a few weeks ago due to a xenon upgraid and been driving without the key coding done but it a bind as you keep forgeting to lock manualy
 
First of all, most things will work and the car will be drivable, you may have issues with lights! And your buttons on the keys won't work and the Ross-tech cable won't do the setings, this is a Audi or kufatec job at about 70 euros
Secondly I have a good controller on eBay item 111990542864 and I'm willing to take a offer
