Default 12v Ignition Switched Headlights

Hi guys. New to the B7 but not to Audi. Just bought a 2005 A4 2.0T to replace a C5 A6 2.7T. Love the handling, miss the power.

I had modded the C5 to switch off all exterior lighting with the ignition. This allowed me to leave my running lights and fog lights on during the day, or headlights at night, and to leave the car without touching the headlight switch. All this was accomplished with a few splices at the headlight switch. I've toyed with the wiring behind the B7's switch, and can't accomplish the same.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get all exterior lighting on a switched circuit?

Thanks in advance,

I guess the headlights and foglight a are already switched. What is like to switch off with the ignition are the parking and city lights and the "lights on" tone.

Any ideas? I've tried most of the wires behind the headlight switch with no luck.

Thanks,
