Headlights not working in cold weather?

So I had this happen a couple of times last year, but seemed to go away.

I live in Minnesota and when it get's really cold, the headlights will not come on. If I pull the car into a heated garage for like 2 minutes, it warms up and they come right back on. It's just the main headlights, the highbeams and floodlights work fine.

Anyone have any ideas what this is all about or what I can do to resolve it?

Thanks!

This was posted right after you. Don't know if this affects you or not. Hope it doesn't happen to me...
Another Minnesota Audi! Have you checked out the Minnesota Audi Club? Decent site. http://www.mnaudi.com/index.asp Seems like there are some good folks on there. Good luck
