Before doing anything else check if you have a dim dip relay under your glovebox and unplug it.

I don't know about your symptoms. But my head lights started to become lazy, as in id turn them on & it would take a second or so to light up. This I traced to the plastic plug which connected to the fuseboard PCB in the passenger footwell, it had burnt up in the connector, a quick clean up with some emery and sorted
