1) Get out your owner's manual and turn to the fuse panel diagram
2) Locate and replace the fuse responsible for your headlights (might be separate fuses for each headllight)
3) If this isn't the issue, it's possible a relay is bad. They should be located with your fuse panel and can be replaced easily. You can get them from any auto parts store for a modest price.
4) If you've replaced the relays and the fuses and still have the issue, it's possible it's the GEM module. This is quite a bit trickier and you'll likely need a qualified mechanic to replace it. I'd recommend taking it to a mechanic before trying the GEM module because it might also be a short in the wiring. Either way, leave those jobs for the pros.

The xenon headlights on my 2002 Audi TT quattro are aiming down. Can only see about 10 feet in front at night. Recently had the headlight sensor replaced & was told that the headlights would adjust...

go back to were you had the sensor replaced and have them repair the problem this should have been working properly before it left the shop.it could even be a bad sensor.

Driving down highway last night and lowbeams turned off. High beams worked, couple of miles later, low beams came back on.

You may want to check the terminals at the back of the headlight. Normally this is caused by loose connections. Other than that check the rest of the wiring and the relay.

Has the fuel filter been chg. lately. If it has, maybe a fuel pressure test is in order. Fuel pump might be geeting weak and does not show up until it gets warmed up. Fuel pumps are a common problem on this type of cars.

The dome lights and headlights blink off and on. I can't drive car at night because of this. There seems to be a buzzing noise coming from the headlight area.

If both the headlights and dome light are affected i would suspect the haedlight switch. That is the part that would be linked to both issue. Door jam switchs would affect the dome light but not the headlights.

Headlights

Check the fuse for the headlights; pull the fuse out and plug it back in a few times to wipe the oxides off of the contacts.
