Sounds like the switch has failed. This usually takes the form of the plastic that holds the brass contacts melting and allowing them to move, hence the intermittent nature of the problem as it heats up and cools down. Darren

Out of curiosity.
Do you have an upgrade headlight loom or not?
I’m guessing not in this case hence what LRA has mentioned above becomes an issue without an upgrade loom. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

I had identical symptoms on my Td5 90. It was the pink headlight relay

Just re read your post bunnyman, when you say main beam, are you referring to main beam or dipped beam? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Ah OK. In which case it's likely to be the switch
