Problem solved for now unless...

The headlights on my 300 tdi haver stopped working. Bulbs OK. Fuses OK Im not sure which relay belongs to the lights but understand they are in the passenger footwell. There are 3 identical ones there and I have swapped them around but no joy. I have taken apart the switch/stalk and in the end...
