We had the opposite problem with our relayed H4s, brights worked, low beams
didn't. It was the dimmer switch. Sounds like this is likely your problem
too.

The dimmer switch is actually part of the wiper arm assembly, so that's what
we replaced, and everything was fine. We had to take the steering wheel off
to get to the switch.

Part Number is 251 953 519C.

Good luck..

Subject: "Relayed" Headlights Out

On my way home this morning my brights shut off. The low-beams work fine.
Thought I heard a small tick or pop just before they went out. Does that
sound like the relay? Maybe the fuse? Haven't checked anything yet but will
later today. Too pooped to pop right now.
