Bricked headlight switch

Hey guy's I recently moved my taps from the fuse to the dimmer switch on my boost gauge, and bricked the goddamn headlight switch because of exposed wires.

Headlight switch still shows power, but when I try to turn off the headlights nothing happens. Anybody have a solution to this fix? I found this thread but 0 experience working with PCB traces.

I already ordered a oem euro switch but that won't be here until a couple of weeks. Just want a temporary solution. Also for the oem euro switch is the trigger wire necessary?

Code the headlights so when you pull the key out, it shuts all the headlights? :iono:
I think trigger wire is for the rear fog light.

Not the issue, once I turn off ignition my bi-xenons turn off as well. I just don't want to run them during daytime...I have to drop off my car at the dealership sometime this week anyways, I'll see what they say about it.

Also for the trigger wire I thought there was one for the rear fog and one for the parking light?

One trigger wire is to run fogs without headlights and other trigger is for rear fog.
