Mark Your Hi beam problem could be failure in the steering column stalk contacts. Datto Hi beams are wired up differently to others and it puts a fair load through the steering column switch terminals, rendering them liable to failure after a long time. Brake lights are not prone to failure. The symptoms suggest there is some dodgy circuit connection that manifests itself when current loads increase, ie brake and parking lights are on simultaneously. I assume you have cleaned the earth terminal in the boot where it is connected to the body?
