Would relaying the trailer harness make the bulb monitor stop  b!tching when 
I tow?

OK, OK, I think I know about this one.  I just put a hitch on my 95  A6, and 
I wired the lights using a 'Power Converter' that you can buy from  Northern 
Tool, Pep Boys or one of those such places.
 
Less than $50, and about 45 min to install.  Power is directly pulled  from 
the battery, sent to a small converter box and from there sent to the  lights.  
I'm sure the converter box acts like a bunch of relays.
 
So far, no light bulb codes, but my warning lights may be different than  
earlier models.
 
Anyway, it worked for me.
