Does the high beam power wire split into L and R at the switch, or 
further downstream?


At the fuse box on every car I have.

It would be simplest to swap out the combination switch with a cheap used
one.

Jim,

I had a similar problem in my 111 coupe that was caused by the plug
connection to the combination switch.

There is no left/right headlight business on the combination
switch.  The fork happens at the fuse box.  No relays.  Check that
fuse box connection again.

All,

The high beam on the 74 240D is acting up.  The right hand headlight
goes dark when high is selected.  A new bulb gives the same response.
Fuses in the fusebox are fine.  Where are the connections and relays
that ought to be checked?
