Hello all:

I believe this has already been covered but I thought I would mention what I found. It might be useful for someone.

My 88 735i had the intermittent passenger headlight out symptom that finally went out all of the time. My son soldered the relay connections but no luck. After further inspection we found that the two wires from the center taps of the two relays, (B43 and B42) were touching. The attached photo shows what they look like after we bent them apart. All works well again.
