'05 headlights- relay failure

I replaced the stock lights in my 2000 F-350 about a year ago... first issue I've had is today, seems the relay for the low beams went bad... I used the relay harness sold by GOS racing... Just wondering if meny others have had simular problems...

I took the relay apart, it's burned inside... the contacts are pitted and mostly gone. No damage to the wiring harness and connector.

Guess I'm drivin' home on low beams tonight... I swapped the good high beam relay for the bad low beam one...

Subscribing to this one. I'm thinking of getting ready to do this so would like to see if any one else has a problem.
