Default Audi A6 Headlight problem

I have an Audi A6 2tdi, registered 2008. My problem started this morning. A sharp beep followed by a light bulb with a red cross across it on the speedo cluster lcd display. I noticed that the front nearside (Left) headlight bulb was out. I have renewed the bulb but the fault is still there. I have checked various fuses mentioned in the hand book. The off side light works perfectly. Has anyone got any ideas. Is it possibly a module/relay or just a fuse I have not identified. Incidently, the lcd display also shows that the car is due a service.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Amrik,
Hey man I've had my A6 for 3 weeks now and have the same issue. But after my loud *** deffening beep I get an adaptive light failure. I have no idea what it means. But if I find out... I'll let you know.

jshadows69 means the motor in the AFS module is going out. Could be simple but might require replacement of the whole headlight

If you have HIDs the ballast may have failed. A VAG-COM scan will probably give you more information.

would like to permanently disconnect adjustable headlight leveling control warning light on Audi Allroad A6. Once I know this is actually possible, would like to do headlight upgrade to HID LED running light configuration. Have heard there's a way to tell programming that the car is now equipped with Halogen and that the level motor and warning light will be dead. Appreciate any / all info necessary to manage this trick... thxs...

Billy, on my A6 pulling fuse 10 kills the headlight adjustment warning icon.
