Check you fuses. Sounds like one popped.

Not sure why it would light for a few seconds and then go out. Must have a short somewhere or the plug somehow got damaged.

Are they Canbus LED lights or standard LED? Because that may be your problem right there, Audi's don't like cheap standard LED bulbs, just the more expensive canbus compatible ones from my experience selling them.
