BTDT, congratulations, you have just aquired a melted headlight switch. The good news is that any pre 80 rabbit or scirocco has the same switch or you can shell out about $25 US from one of the discount parts places. Buy two switches as I have killed two in the last year. The last one was 1 hour from home at 2am!
