[s-cars] headlight bulbs

[Danton J.A. Cardoso]

Ok, here is a question for all... If one were to mount Hella 500's on the
grille area, how/where can they tap into the headlight/parking light
circuit, so they fire on when those lights are turned on?  This would be
done on a B5 A4.  I am thinking of doing this- and I really do not want an
independent switch.  Also, a relay will be used, no question.

Yeah, Larry.  Almost got Bambi last night.  Thank you HID frog 
lights.  ;-)  These roads I drive on in these parts are DARK and 
Bambi can hide very well right on the shoulder (or what passes for a 
shoulder hereabouts) even with good lighting.
