My headlights only work when I wiggle the headlamp relay. I have changed the relay and fuse but I still have to wiggle the relay. It is getting worse and sometimes goes off when I am driving. If I do need to change the relay socket how do I do that? I have never done it before. Thank you for any help that you give.

Judgment call on just how the socket looks and what might need replacing to do better than that. That might be a permanant fix - not there - can't see it??
