the simplest option is to make up a fused flylead that goes from the
powered side of the fuse holder direct to the deadlight, hunt down
the actual fault when the weather is better.

Thanks; I was thinking similar, but my idea is to solder a short lead
from the live side of the nearside headlight fuse holder to the
supposedly live (but not) side of the offside headlight fuse holder.
That way, I'd have a fuse between the battery positive and the
headlight. That should be a simple, effective fix, yes?
