Default Headlight Issue (already replaced the headlight switch) NEED HELP ASAP

Hello everyone,

I have been around on this site but haven't really made myself known. I own a 1998.5 Audi A4 1.8t. The issue I am having is with my headlights. To start I already tried the diy headlight switch fix, which did not work. I then replaced the switch which still did not remedy my problem. So I have been told it may be a relay causing all of this.I need help asap. If it helps my corner lights still work along with my high beams. Foglights/ low-beamsdo not work along with headlight washers. All interior lights come on indicating a proper working headlight but with no actual result. Thank you for any help and your time.

Jiggle the ignition switch (key)while trying to operate the headlights, the is a recall for the electrical part of the ignition switch cracking which causes an open circuit to the headlight/wiper system.

Check the voltage on both sides of the relay. Don't ask me where the relay is.
