I have a 2004 S Tiptronic without cruise....ie. 3 stalks.
Pelican have a switch stalk with 3 arms for $444!
Can't believe a small switch can be that expensive..
Anybody done a repair??????
Assuming you've verified both dipped bulbs (halogen system) are NOT burned out...

Issue sounds more like symptoms of a bad headlight switch... not stalk. Doubly so w/ litronic lights.

If so, repair part (though not inexpensive) should be less than half the cost of a new stalk... and much simpler to DIY. If you have the wiring diagram you can remove the existing switch and make a jumper to test the lights.

Good luck
