Headlight relay buzzing

Just as a quick note:
The diagram specifies a 220pF Capacitor and that is likely a misprint. It should be 220uF. 220 picoFarads are not polarized and are much to small for this application, the 220 microFarad seems more in-line with reality and they are polarized.
BTW: Nice write up !

I figured since Radio Shack is gone, I would just try to find the diode and capacitors listed in the diagram. After much frustration, I reread the entire thread and realized I had bought tiny 220pF capacitors. I hunted down a 220uF capacitor and guess what? Worked like a charm. Thanks mucho AMC Jeep and everybody else.
It is pretty gratifying to be told you can't do something, and then figure out how to do it. I love the forums for showing solutions to almost anything, if you look hard enough. I go down a dark road now, flip my high beams on, and with the Side Shooters lighting up, I giggle a little almost every time.
