Nah, you got it Bob! I just want to confirm for sure it's bad headlight relay. Never seen one fail before. I've always suspected it may be weak point in design. After starter-solenoid, it has to deal with highest power demands, and continuously too. Not momentary like starter-solenoid.
With such high power going across headlight relay, there's bound to be some arcing and burning-up of relay contacts. A capacitor across contacts and bleed resistor would absorb that high-voltage spike and extend life of relay contacts.
