Default headlight problem- HELP

headlight issue, any input or reccomendations would be apprectiated.

I have a 1998 A4 1.8t 5spd 123K miles.

Here's the issue, recently i been encountering some headlight problems. My headlights didn't work, so i replaced the driver side bulb. once replaced, both started working again. however they occasionally act up when i start the car; they wont begin to operate for at least 5 minutes or so. I'll run it with the brights for a while, and then the headlamps will begin working. Really wierd problem. Any suggestions?

Default headlight switch could be going... there is a tech article on how to repair..

I did it a week ago. My problem started about the same. but then i'd get no headlights or highbeams, unless i held the headlight switch toward me.
