Escort Mk4 Headlight problem resolved

I thought I'd share what my problem was and how it was resolved.

I have a 1990 Mk4 Escort Eclipse and when the dipped beam was turned on the o/s light went to side light only but the n/s dipped beam worked.

I tried all the earths I could find. One near each headlight - brown wires. Two on the o/s A pillar behind the speaker. The rear lights. Earths were not the problem.

I tried the two white relays in the fuse box towards the rear of the car. Not the problem

I lifted the fuse box expecting a corroded connection. Not the problem

I tried three different switches. Not the problem.

The resolution to the problem was a BLUE RELAY that is located just above the pedal box inside the car. It is a 5 pin relay with the numbers 866614K083AA 41212  4RD003520-34   40/35A 12V.

I'd like to find a spare relay but can only find one used one on the bay of death for £25. Does anyone know of a supply of new ones cheaper?
