Rich,
This actually is my brother's saff!
Just stripped down the headlights and found the following.
It's a twin headlight conversion, but not Morette. It uses adaptors on the original wiring loom, but the previous owner has put a relay in line to power both headlights.
I have Morettes on my car, and they have none of the same re: relays.
There is also a relay for the main beam lights separately wired in. This relay (30 amp) was burnt to a crisp. The relay holder was also burnt. So were both headlamp connectors.
All the earths have been cleaned up and checked.
