Default Headlight gremlins

With the car running the lights function normal either on daylight dim or dipped beam but if i select main beam the drivers side dipped and side light go out and the indicator comes on faintly with NO main beam.

Im guessing there's a short to earth or something but whats the best/quickest way to problem solve the issue?

The bulb failure light has been on for months but then i noticed it was off again, but I don't know how recently!! Might not be connected? I just tried popping the relay out in the failing light but it seemed stuck fast - better attempt booked for later tomorrow as I intend to do the by-pass jump wiring thing, which might help although I'm not holding my breath!!

Also if I have the dipped beam on with fog lights and then select main beam the engine cuts out.....

I'm planning on whipping out the headlight switch for a contact clean too as the lights sometimes stay on when the ignition is turned off, probably need to do the contacts in the ignition switch too eh?!
