Hadlamp Control Relay vs Headlight Relay

Hi Everybody,
I have a problem, perhaps two, with the headlights on my 1993 CSE. The symptons are as follows:
1. Left and Right Low Beams went dark this morning on the drive to work, and after replacing the Headlight Relay with the 3-month old Headlight Relay from my 1994 CSE,
2. Right High Beam has gone dark.
Based on previous posts, it sounds like I have a prblem with both the Lamp Control Relay and the original Headlamp Relay in my 1993. If my understanding is correct, a failure in the Lamp Control Relay results in only one of the Bright (or Low) Beams failing, whereas a failure of the Headlight Relay results in both Bright (or Low) Beams failing. Others have documented the problem with deteriorated solder joints in both relays, so it sounds like both relays may have solder faults. Does this sound reasonable?
By the way, can anyone provide a link to a wiring diagram for the Headlights on the 1993 CSE showing both relays? I was unable to use the link provided by Ari in a 2005 post.
Thanks to all!
