Hehe, I have another update already
I've started to understand relays a bit better, so I decided to take on a bigger challenge, and it worked! My beetle now has intermittant wipers with a programmable delay, and a wash/wipe function. I've been meaning to do this ever since I bought the beetle, and now thanks to Joel on aussieveedubbers, I found out exactly how to do it.

I also installed a buzzer relay that goes on when you leave the headlights on, and open the door.
