[V8] Headlight relay - old thread...

[Kneale Brownson]

Someone just reported on the main Quattro list they got the nagging to stop
by splicing the light signals from the switch together ahead of the relay.
In other words, they took the signal to both high beams (separate wires
down each side of the car) and spliced them together before hooking to the
relay and did the same for both low beams.

Otherwise, you can do what I did, which is to jumper the relay socket in
the passenger footwell.  Couple of pieces of 14 gauge wire and four male
spade ends.
