Intermittent - Headlight Slow to Turn On

Over the past couple months I had noticed the headlight were a little slow in lighting up sometimes. Lights would rotate into position, then it would take 2-3 seconds for them to turn on.

Couple weeks ago pulled out all the relays associated with the headlights, then plugged them back in. Problem went away.

After a 200 mile leg of our Xmas trip, noticed a delay in the lights turning on after rotating into the up position that night. Noticed the same thing on the return, and also after starting back up after a quick pit stop halfway back.

This last time, the lights popped up but didn't come on. Cycled the headlight switch, then after 3 seconds they came on for a split second then shut off. Cycled the switch again then they came on and stayed on.

Of the various headlight relays, which one should I be looking at first?

IV Headlight Safety Relay
XIII Highlight Relay
XIV Headlight Dimmer Relay
XVI Headlight Control Relay
