Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
I hear you mate..........such is life.
Well bugger me. I didn't know that either....
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I guess the GU's factory fitted H/ Lamp Relay under the bonnet is for something else lol,
Sorry mate, but you must be looking at something else.
Just looked at it, and the relay box is clearly depicted as having a H/Lamp relay.
I'm sure GQ has one also from factory.
Have another look brother, cheers.

... have you taken the Relay Box cover off and had a look?
Unless you have a fitment different to what I have seen, which is entirely possible, there might be a few less components inside that box than you think.
AFAIK those references to Relays you see marked on the lid are for vehicles with factory Xenon/HID
Also, GQ's (well Aussie ones at least) do not have factory relays.
That is why their combination switches burn out/carbon up and why I get to have so much fun helping mates put in aftermarket looms

Definitely no relay under the cover of my GU 7.
Looking at the wiring diagram there is a set of switch contacts for each headlight, fed by a separate 15A fuse, so 5A through each set of contacts at 12v when on high beam. It shouldn't be an issue for the switch. Anyone heard of switch failures because of this???

The GQ's are renowned for problems but only after quite a few years.
There are quite a lot of threads on here (maybe 20 or more) on the issue and I usually tell people to
a) clean/replace the combination switch
b) turf the sealed beams as far as they can if they haven't already and replace with decent semi-sealed and globes
c) pop in a set of relays, altho that is optional (the pre-made looms are waaaay expensive IMHO but if people don't have the experience to wire relays they are an option)
The GU's have a different combination switch and do not seem to have anything like the problems ergo I've never pulled one apart to see if they have better insides.

Ok just went and checked as it was raining yesterday.
GQ only has a fog lamp relay, honest mistake, got em mixed up.
But as I did look at GU.
2002 GUtd42 "st plus" has H/Lamp relay,
also printed on relay box cover as I mentioned.
go figure, maybe the plus sticker on back door has something to do with it
know this one also has larger radiator like 3lt engine.
seems nissan do makes em different.

The GU relay box cover has at least 3 head lamp relay positions printed on the cover. It also has a few different options listed for other relays in the same position.
Did you remove the relay to confirm your head lights stopped working?
I think you will find that relay is for the corning lamps.
Sorry it's nothing to do with the plus sticker
Every GU I have seen has "Head Lamp Relay/s" printed on the relay box cover.
None of the GU's I have lifted the cover on actually has them fitted.
I have a series 1 and a series 5 ST parked in my driveway.
Both have the exact same cover and both indicate there are positions for Headlamp relays but neither has the relays fitted
The factory manual states those relays are only fitted for xenon/HID variants. If you do have a GU with working Headlamp Relays I can only assume that the vehicle was not wired for Australia but ended up here somehow so it will be 1 in 1,000 or more odds.
If you do have relays in those usually vacant spots I, like Rodney, would be really interested to see if the headlamps do turn off or if they are for another option.
Not having a shot, just very curious as I help out a lot of people with faults whenever I can so very interested
