That next step is to replace
ECR Engine Control relay ( P/N ??##### TBA ? please )
FIX 4 ?
Replace entire RCM if FIX 3 dosent work ? ( Is it the Merc K70 ref ?)

PS love the Shape by Karmann , not the Merc elec,s
But getting ready to scrape it soon if RCM/or ECR doesn’t fix it
Fix #3 looks to be your best bet, failing that then fix#4 as the relay is inside the RCM (K70).
Tighed1 replaces the relay, fixes the bad soldering and whatever else is needed.
Fix #3 is the cheapest unless you can get a cheap RCM.
You did good on your research using the Search feature, not many do.
Repair the headlight with a kit made for the job, a bit of wok to do correctly but as you cannot replace just the lens you have no other option. Used ones cost good bucks and new ones go from $6oo.
