Did you check for power in and out of the headlight switch ? You should have power on the red and orange wires going into the switch and yellow going out to the dimmer switch.
have you replace the flasher,this sounds like a bad flasher,some have two flashers one for the turn signals and another for the hazards. hope this helps.
Not exactly sure where to look but there may be what is called an in-line fuse-link. It would be somewhere in the wire going to the headlight. Basically a fuse but not in a fusebox. I would look under the hood and trace the wire from the headlight.
The relay has nothing to do with the tail lights, but replacing the switch sounds like a good idea. There's a nut holding it in place, see http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/switches/switch-headlight/1027524/ to get an idea of the construction. And the price. This is not worth fiddling about unreliable workarounds... In addition, if fuses 15 and/or 16 burn frequently there might be a problem with the tail light cabling.
try checking the daytime running light module.
there is also a sensor for the auto headlights that may think it is still daylight.try playing around with the auto switch
Sounds like your headlight switch has failed. I have a 99 Audi A4, and when mine died, it was the same exact problem (it's a known problem area for the Audis). Given that your car is behaving the same way, I'd look into a new headlight switch as a solution. The toggle-for-highbeams feature is wired separate from the normal headlight wiring and is a simpler contact setup. The contacts and wiring and switching for the low and running high beams is more prone to failure. You should be able to find a switch assembly at a salvage yard for less than $15 and can probably change it yourself in a half hour to an hour.
