No, that's not normal, Keith may be correct that you contacts inside the relay are suspect. It appears you are powering the headlights through the parking lite switch, not a good thing, because the power to the switch is via a smaller wire at IP connector Yellow Pin #4, and the amp draw for the headlights through the switch could make the wire get very warm and cause an insulation breakdown.
