[W126 Coupe] 1983 380SEC Headlight and Wiper Issues

[kashella at comcast.net]

I lost all my headlights both High and Low Beam on both sides.  From my research, I understand it is most likely the headlight relay.  Which relay is it?  Does someone have a relay diagram?  The pictures I've seen of the part does not look like any relay in my fuse box.  The pictures look like the part could fit across a whole row of relays.  I have the fuel pump, overload and kick down relay in the fuse box end toward the fire wall then two rows of small silver relays all about 1" square on top.  



Wiper issue: 



Since September 2009 my wipers at times have come on by themselves with the wiper switch on the steering column being in the off position.  Sometimes they will run for a single cycle.  Other times run for 20 minutes.  When they constantly operate, they seem to run in an intermittent pattern. 



There are months where this does not happen at all, then it will begin to happen again. 



I posed these questions about a week ago, but never got a respone and never saw them show up on my digest.  Maybe I sent wrong. 



Thanks,
