Ok so was driving back to the Riverland last night, went to switch on highbeams and they came up and flickered for a bit flickered and then died.
Nothing happens when I flick the headlight stalk to 'hi'. Is it the bulbs, or is the relay gone along the line somewhere - already checked the fuses and its not them...
Oh yeah, I should add that low-beams still work fine, just country driving with only them is a bit shit.

sounds like the globes to me
Yeah sounds like globes.
When you buy new ones, put them in one at a time and then test (that way you can tell if the wires somewhere are shorting out)
Pull the globes out and test them .Grab 2 lengths of wire and hook the globes up to the battery .
Costs nothing and will save you buying 2 new globes if the old ones check out ok . Just remember not to touch the glass part of the globe .
there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
To properly test your high beams to see if they are not working.
You must get a test light and take the plug off behind the globe and probe the pins. Switch the high
beams on and check if there is power getting sent out to the plug with your test light.
If there is then it is your globes blown.
But if there is no power at the plug then it might be a relay or the stalk switch.
Obviously you check the fuses first.
