I know I had a lot of weird behaviour when my headlight switch was on
its way out, and I could have sworn everything was OK with the switch,
but replacing it fixed everything.

Do you have relays for the headlights?  Are they getting power / ground?

Since I have turnsignals and highbeams all around (both outer and inner since I have a SA setup), is there another ground I don't know about? The driver side low beam being intermittent is a new problem.
