Paul,
I suggest you disregard all the advice you have received, and instead just
replace the headlight switch (You know. the multifunction stalk on the left side of the steering column.) I am confident we are discussing a LHD USA vehicle despite the e-code lights installed.
Does anyone really think both headlight low beams failed at the exact same time and the high beams and fog lights still work?
The headlight housings are easily removed so there is no reason to try to repair them in place on the vehicle. At 291K mi. they probably could use a good cleaning and maybe a glass lens replacement to recover the 20 to 30% light output you have lost since new.
For advice, you really need to go the Quattroworld UrS4/6 & S2/RS2 forum.
