[s-cars] Autocheck after relaying headlights

[Lee Levitt]

Sheesh guys, Click&Clack Industries offers an all purpose autocheck system
defeat kit that is guaranteed to work on both the S4 and S6.

It's only $18.95 and can be used for multiple cars.

When you get the kit, you take some tape off the roll, cut it to length and
paste it over the offending light on the instrument cluster.

Then you're good to go.

:)
