    Reflow your LKM relay for the right side. Very common.

    and rebend the contacts of the relays in the LKM, here I have made a pic how to test, remove the LKM, take the cover off, insert it again without cover and then you can actually see if the relays work, also squeeze the contacts on the relays. Light must be on of course when testing.

    You can trigger the relay to turn on the light without turning on the light from inside... That way you can tell which relay is for what...

    two relays together is low and high beam... single relay on the other side is foglight... unless you have euro car with rear foglight... then two and two.

    You can trigger the relay by using a small flat screwdriver and just push the relay in (push toward the relay motor...)

    I don't think you even need the ignition on at all... been so long since I done it.
