Default Headlight multi-switch

Mine is bad. I've done the "repair" on it twice and that helped for a while. Now I'm ready to replace it. Before I spend 160- at the dealership, any other avenues? Anyone have one collecting dust or is anyone parting a low miles switch, hahaha?

they're all the same for all the A4s and i know there are people parting out cars. just get a couple of used ones. they're pretty cheap, however there is a chance they can go bad again but if you buy new, they usually won't but you do pay a lot more.

Default It nearly killed me ...

Went to the dealer and spent 200- on a new multi-switch. No B5's in my local yard yet. Neede it right away - what can you do? Bought my first car (20 years ago) a 1975 Audi Fox for 300-. Damn.
On the positive got to see all of the bling Audis including an S8. $90K and really bad. So slick! Big fat body and crazy interior. Would love to test drive that. No way they would let me behind the wheel. Smart folks.

Wish I saw this earlier. When mine took a crap I figured a way to jumper the wires in the harness so that the lights would trigger from the parking light position - that wouldve bought you the time you needed to order one and save $40-50. Sorry bro

Switched it out this evening. I just had to get it done. Hate spending dealer money. That's ten cases of beer!
