Really weird Euro light behavior

[james accordino]

I turns out it's a bad relay for the high bulb on the
left side.  I noticed rust colored residue at the
cover/base joint on the relay.  The ADI (calcium
hypochlorite?) they use on the highways here in PA do
a great job at keeping the slop from freezing on the
roadsurface, but also apparently a great job at
penetrating electricals.  Oh well, guess I'll need to
cover/encase them somehow.  BTW, the grounds are
attached with stainless hardware and coated and were
very clean, as were all the shrinksleeved and coated
terminals.
