Its worth checking the lighting earth leads. You'll find them in the glove box but you need to unscrew the fuse / relay board and pull it forward. You will see a multi-ground socket on the bodywork behind with all the lighting earth leads connected. Check them all and give them a good clean. May need to give them a little squeeze(with pliers) when they are off the terminal to make sure they are making good contact..
Might be barking up the wrong tree, but worth a looky...
best of luck

"Bigger head lamp bulbs" - what do you mean? It's most probably an earthing issue, or your "bigger" bulbs have fried the already overloaded headlamp circuitry.
What a long strange trip it's been
