Default rs5 windscreen shows double lights at night

Hi all, I Just bought a used RS5 last month, the make year of my car is 2011. I bought it from Audi approved cars. They changed the front windscreen with a new one because the old one had a crack. The problem is I see dead people when I drive at night... no I'm just kidding. But realy what I see is double lights. I see the bulbs of the street lights as if their is a faint light at top and bottom of each bulb. That happen to coming cars in front of me. It's so annoying and make a headache and eye strain to me. At day light I don't experience this. Only at night. This is the first time in my life to experience this in cars. Installing a thermal film to reduce the sun radiation actually made the effect worse. Does that happen to any one else ? I'll try to post a picture with the effect as soon as I get my car from the workshop

Sounds like they put in a bad windshield. Made wrong, cheap Made in China aftermarket...........something along those lines. You should not get a double image.

But the glass has an Audi logo on it, with some codes and numbers

No, it does not has HUD. But why are you asking ? How is that related to the problem? I think the angle of the windscreen with respect to the eye line of sight is more related to the problem. The more the glass is tilted the more the effect is pronounced.
