I also have a "87"4KCSQ that has suffered from a "HOT"
light switch. It is apparently a faulty design by Audi
running 12V to the switch itself. One solution I
considered is relay-ing the switch, though Im not an
electical wiz wouldnt that also cure some of the
current drop to the headlights as well?
