Hi All,
I am having a low beam headlight issue. I was driving, at night of course, and the headlights flashed a few times and died. DRLs work, but when I turn on the headlight switch they go out. High Beams work but I have to hold them on, they will not latch on. After researching multiple forums and reading a few other places that it was probably the ignition switch I changed it using this awesome write up http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=105906 .
Unfortunately, I have now changed the ignition switch, but still no low beams or latching high beams, so I decided to take out the headlight switch (which turns out to be an assembly) and wiggle wires and such. After plugging the headlight switch assembly back in now the DRLs do not work either. Now all that is left is the momentary high beams.
I plan to call the dealer first thing Monday and see if they can order one and how much it costs. I found it on NAPA for either $309 for the switch without fog lights or $174 for the one with fogs lights. Do you guys think the one with fog lights will work? Anybody else have ideas besides the headlight switch that I am missing?
Thank you in advance.
Kevin
