By the sounds of it, I would say you have lost an Earth

Theres a small earth near the radiator which may make a difference ?

 

If not bridge a new earth to the headlight connector from he battery.

 

 

Another think to check is the fuses as these play up and when power starts to go through them can break the connection therefore losing your lights, however a test light will still light up as it's not drawing enough current.
