Default Headlight Relays(S2)

The 2 small white relays at the back of the fuse box
Mine keeps blowing the dipped beam relay
Could it be down to fact i,ve put some of those white light bulbs in?
the wiring appears to be ok
Side lights and Main beam work
But when you turn the switch to the dipped beam position everything goes out?
The relay looks well burnt?

you can get them to come on by cleaning the terminals with emry cloth!
switch the lights on dip, pop the top off fuse box and wiggle till they
come on, they'll then be alright 4a while! think the relays are on there
way out mate, if not the contacts in the fuse box where they plug are dodgy!
happened a couple of times when i had it, been ok 4a while tho.

I wondered if it might be them bulbs drawing too much current?
I put new relays in b4 you bought it?
Also mate when you did the back brakes did you bleed it with the wheels on the floor?
