I would agree with checking the earths as they can get rusty over time. I would also change the relay for the lights, or you will be doing nothing but changing bulbs.

As said, check the earth point, pretty sure it's right underneath the headlamp unit. Not uncommon for the mk2 focus for them to corrode badly there. Also the headlamp multiplug might be wet inside if the seal is missing / damaged.
