Default HUH!?!

(Assuming US B5 S4)


let's step through this...

1. when i click the steering wheel stalk once i get the city lights.
***Ok, that can be done

2. when i click it twice i get city lights and interior lights.
***Interior lights? The interior lights are not connected to the headlight switch like they are on old Ford Vans with the rotory ****. Did you mean something else?

3. HID's with interior lights and no city lights.
***3? There's no 3rd "On" position on the headlight switch.

Take a look at my S4 website, under "RS4 Headlights" and see how I wired mine. Perhaps that is similar to what you are looking for. Regardless, the item you want is a "5-Pin 30/40Amp Automotive Relay". It's pretty standard. Some of them only have 4 pins, and depending on how you want to wire, you may or may not need the 5th pin.

Default Dash lights go on with the first click of the headlight switch.

Do you want the corner lights on with the city lights or not? That makes a difference in how it is wired and how many relays you need. Mark's site should have all the details for both options.
