[V8] European headlights versus Autocheck system

We have just installed new Euro lights in my wife's 100 Quattro Avant. These 
lights are relayed, but low beam triggers the Autocheck "bulb out" warning. 
I seem to recall numerous posts about this on these sites, and wondered if 
anyone on the V8 list remembers this, and remembers what the "cure" was.

These lights are my third set for Audi's.  I have previously put Euro 
headlights into my '89 200 Avant, and my current '93 V8 has Euro headlamps. 
Neither car had one lick of difficulty with the installation, but this one 
is different.  I am not precisely sure how the mechanic did the 
installation, but the same mechanic did the installation in the V8.

Comments?
