[V8] European headlights versus Autocheck system

[Kneale Brownson]

You need to jumper the autocheck bulb-out relay in the relay panel.  Should
be full info in the archives of Audifans.com  I have it printed out
somewhere if you can't find it.  Should have had the same problem on a
200q20v.  I had to do this to both the V8 and the 200.  Didn't put Euros on
my 5ktq, so don't know whether it would be necessary.
