Default Needed headlight switch wiring!

As some of you may have read in my thread a couple weeks back my headlight switch melted itself to its self (and also melted the plastic harness too ), this is daily driver and it sucks not being able to drive at night. So if anyone has one on their parts car, please either post here or email (Dragon88@gmail.com) me ASAP. I checked out all the local yards and all of the switch wiring had already been pillaged from the cars. I have a new switch coming from Blau on Tuesday and if I could have the wiring shortly after Tuesday I would be eternally grateful. Does anyone sell these online?

Thanks a ton!

I have one, how much wiring do you want left attached to the plug? This is for the rotary style switch correct?

Default You know why all the switches are gone?

All the headlight switches are gone from wreckers, and parts cars because they all have probably melted. That's because Audi cheezed out on the switch and wiring.

You SHOULD really put relays on your headlight circuits. Even if you have the dim DOT headlights, it will help a bit!

1) THe lights will be a tiny bit brighter.
2) (Big reason!) The headlight switch, and higbeam changeover switch and ignition switch won't ahve to pass the full headlight current, and will last WAY longer.
3) You'll be all ready when you get your EuroLights!
