Default Headlights

The other day after work I went out to my A4, turned the car on, hit the lights, and nothing. Headlights didn't work. Had to drive home holding my high beams on. Very fun, since it's almost an hour drive home. Anyone ever have this problem? I checked the fuses and relays, all look fine. Guessing it's the headlight switch since no power is going to the lights. It's going into the shop, just curious if I'm the only one to see this. Thanks.

Yes!

I am right now having this problem. The funny thing is the fuse is okay. I checked the bulbs too! and they are okay.

Instead of driving with your high beams, you can try the fog lights. They worked!

The corner and the blinkers work. I checked all the bulbs are they are fine. My fog lights aren't working, simply because the logic is setup so that they won't turn on unless my headlights are on. The 97 models have the fog lights integrated into the headlight shell... strange design, I guess that's why it didn't last long. It appears that when I switch the lever from parking lights to headlights, that connection isn't being made. Thanks for the replies, will keep you updated.
