Default Headlight Help (Not the switch problem)

Just bought a 2001 A4 2.8 quattro for my daughter. Low beams are not working. Followed the instructions for the switch fix, but it seemed fine. When I put it all back together, still no low beams. Also, the high beams stay on when lights are on, and fog lights work. Guessing that the problem is not the switch? Fuses are good. I suppose it's possible, though unlikely, that both bulbs are burned out. What else should I be checking here? Relay? Igniter? Thanks for any advice.

Default 1996 - 2001 B5 A4 Long term fix for failing head light switch

The headlight switch will continue to overheat and stop working until this modification is installed. The relays installed will handle all of the headlight current that the light switch used to not handle to well at all.

This will keep the heat out of the headlight switch and prevent any future failure.

I will attache a PDF of my drawing that I created and used to install the modification into my 1996 - 2001 B5 A4.
