Hi nine8six,
well, in general modern cars have "ECU's" (Steuergerät is the german term for that) for light. That means there is not always a physical relay for headlight switching, but an electronic circuit with power transistors. That also means that you can control how to switch something (ampere, load, soft start, etc.). I can't find something like that in the 986 circuit diagrams. There is just a bulb, a simple switch and a fuse.
I understand how the fuses work. But from an electronic point of view that is not near a perfect or modern solution. So under some circumstances this system will really wear and fail over time.
just my 2 cents, because i don't know better.
