I cannot locate the high/low headlight relay on my 1970 914/6. By most accounts it lives on or near the fuse panel under the dash. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it, and before I start pulling the dash apart I’m hoping someone out there will enlighten me. The car is not stock…it is now a GT Tribute running a 3.2L. Here’s a pic of the fuse panel

BTW, What is up with nothing attached at position #3? I would love to hear opinions on that too.

Have you checked your fuses? I think the Six runs each headlight element off a separate fuse, just like the -4 does. That is, one each for left/low, left/high, right/low, and right/high. So one fuse that has popped could cause the symptom you are describing.
