    The biggest problem with your post is regarding the fuses - "they appear to be ok" check with a multimeter or systematically switch them. With any trouble shooting, it's important to make sure you actually rule out the variables properly. See my signature for the golden rule...

    The 15A 'Tail' fuse supplies a lot of things, including the parkers and the dash lights. It also controls license plate light, tail light, and potentially some others.

    Make sure it is OK, and do what Shelldrake said. If you don't have a meter, swap the 'tail' fuse with a known good one (wiper/turn?) temporarily to see if the problem remains.

    If the problem is still there, look closely at the 6-pin headlamp relay in the engine bay, or the actual headlamp switch on the stalk.

    A multimeter or even a testlight, you have to check the fuses properly to rule them out otherwise your gonna be chasing your tail.

    If all ok there you then check power to headlight switch and then power coming out of headlight switch going to the parker circuit

    No you can't but your better off upgrading to a new relay anyway

    Buy a 5 pin relay 20-30 Amps

    If you need help wiring it in let me know

    So was the headlight relay the cause of the parkers/dash/ taillights not working?
