Arrow Headlight switch broken

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and hope to have a good experience here.

My headlight switch (pictured below) has broken. The switch does not click when you turn it and it is stuck at headlight ON mode.




So now I drive with the headlights ON 24/7.

I am trying to fix the issue myself because the dealership here in Kuwait are very expensive. I am sure that the bill will be more than $200 just for fixing the headlights switch. Dealership is my last option.

I have recorded a short video (link below) for you to understand my problem. Hope you can help me out.

Thank you for your time.

I found a solution from another Audi forum.

I have successfully took out the headlights switch and found the problem. Below is some pics and a video.

Turns out that the switch is broken from inside. That's good news but now, I don't know if I can find only this item and if at the scrapyard it can be sold separately.

If you have any suggestions on where to buy this item online, please let me know. Thanks!!

I will have to drive like that for a while until I get a new plastic switch.
