Jim - You'll note too that every old VW you see on the road looks like it has dim yellow burning candles for headlamps. VW made a high quality switch but skimped on both wire size to the headlights and the lack of a relay - to save a few production Deutsch Marks. With heavier wiring and relays you'd get full voltage to the headlights (and be able to safely upgraded to whiter light H4 ones) for stronger headlights.
