This is the ticket to all eurolight/relay wiring issues.  The Maxlux
comes ready-built, sealed and with harnesses for whatever light setup
you are running.  I installed one on my UrQ and it was a thing of
beauty.  One wire to the alternator, the rest is plug and play with
the original harness.  More expensive than relays and cut and paste
with the harnesses, but very nice.  Alas, I don't think they have a
distributor in North America.  In Finland and Sweden you can buy these
through your friendly VW/Audi dealer or your favourite motorsports
bits distributor.  Someone ought to pick these up for distribution
here in N.A.

no affiliation - just a happy end user.
