	Nope, there's no auxiliary relays installed (they're only 55W,
nothing special) above what Audi put there in '84.  I just yanked out
the old lamps (which Colorado rocks had taken care of for me) &
installed these two new guys.

	I found an old listing in teh Archives that describes how to
diable the warning light (thanks Dan!) but not how to keep the circuit
working (I.E. tell me when one's burned out) without always tripping
with the wrong voltage.  Bummer...  Thanks!
