it seemed the fault was in the wire too, but usually heat at the junction is the issue

I just squeezed a thin wires into the existing pins, leaving the old wires in place, and all was good, the new thin wire doesnt even get hot, even tho its underated...so fck me, thats weird, but fixed

Except there are no relays in the pre-updates as far as the headlightgs are concerned....

In the aircraft world we call this piggy backing the wire. It a very, very common repair when dealing with airplanes.
