Unfortunately I don't know where the relay(s) are, probably in the passenger footwell panel though.
I don't even know if the flashers and indicators use separate relays or there's a combined unit.

I think the way most such systems work is by closing the circuit on the "earth" side; the bulbs will have a common +12V supply (fused) but are then earthed by the relevant relay(s) to light them up.

Some relevant information here but for US models, there's probably better stuff that others will know: https://forums.quattroworld.com/a8/threads/3006.phtml
