4K CSQ-Head light switch

[Kneale Brownson]

That switch gets overly hot, enough so that it'll melt the plastic bits in 
the harness connector so that they self-weld to the plastic bits in the 
switch itself and the lights will quit working because the connection 
becomes fouled.  It's because Audi elected to run all the power to the 
lights through the switch.

Before your switch fails, relay the lights.
