Have you found the solution?

Could be the actual switch inside the car?

Hey xalu, I actually fixed the problem in my car, It was the Lamp Failure box located under the skrew off cover behind the fuse block.
Very common problem I found out with these cars,
It has a Hella logo on it, it's the only one that does. You can open it up and inspect it inside, I saw mine was disinegrated in the little aluminum maze's that run vertical. I touched the metal back together and everything works fine so far. Ill will be replacing it very soon, before You go pulling your steering wheel, and combo switch, check that out.
