Next morning, same again.

I am yet to replace it again, I don't think of it during the daylight, and haven't had the urge after dark. I do around 250km a day, at least half in the dark so I should probably do it before it fails completely....
I finally got around to replacing the "faulty" headlight globe last weekend, only to find that I still have an issue with that side low beam intermittently not working. Plugs look OK so now I'm thinking dodgy relay.

Ford in their wisdom decided to NOT label the relays in either the fuse box or the owners manual. Fuses are listed, just not the relays. Makes this sort of trouble shooting hard.

Does anyone have a diagram that points to what relay is what? The Ford Wiki one doesn't show the light relays
