My money is on the red relay. Solder joints of the main terminals are always suspect, and the contacts fail as any relay does. You may also have an issue with the contact in the relay socket perhaps?
The stalk can affect one thing only: switching between high and low. It's probably worth removing it and testing with an ohm-meter to see how the high-beam contact works, but given the other symptoms I wouldn't hold my breath.
I think the buzzing must have been your DRL relay? DRL should turn the low beams on even with the red relay removed, I'm not clear on how it could cause that particular symptom...and when things get crazy: Ground points perhaps? the one above the airbox near that round 20-something pin connector is the one the headlights and those forward relays use.
