[urq] dim lights no brights

[Brandon Rogers]

Thanks to all for the replies regarding my alternator.  I think it's fine.
I guess what got me worried is that on my A4 when I turn the car on and put
the lights on, they do not come on dim then brighten when I rev the motor.
But i feel comfortable now.

What about my deal with all headlights going out when I click on the
brights?  Any other ideas?  Double checking grounds has been suggested--and
I will, as soon as I get the car back from the exhaust shop.  Would
reversing the 2 wires to the brights(where they connect to the bulb) cause
this??

Thanks again-

Brandon
