so.. when your wipers are on, your lights turn completely off? or just when they wipe the lights turn off? Or if you have the lights on, the wipers won't budge at all?

I'd be pulling the relays and cleaning them all, it sounds like an earth issue, one is earthing through the other.

If the headlight globes have been upgraded at some stage the wiring my have gotten hot...and so the pins at the wiring harness may be causing the issue. Check the plugs whilst it's apart. Most likely the combo switch, I've experienced both.
