I have a 2012 FR+ TDI with Bi-Xenon Light that turn with the car. Went though a big puddle today and soon I got a warning the the side light wasn't working. The after another few mins got a warning that the dipped beam wasn't working. Then got a warning the the Swivel thing (can remember the code) wasn't working and to check manual. Does this mean my light is buggered and I'll need a replacement. Gutted as gonna get rid of the car mid next year.

Any suggestions welcome

Sounds like it's probably water got inside the connector. If the lights were on when that happened then it can cause corrosion/oxidation to form in the contacts. It looks like a green or blue powder when it happens, and can be cleaned with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and a soft bristled toothbrush.
