No resistors go between the bulbs. The electronic circuit and the lamp circuit are connected in parallel and thus are completely separate and independent circuits, sharing only the battery and relay contacts and connecting wires. Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant by "between the load (bulbs)". In that case, the problem might be the battery. Is it small or old and weak? Are the voltage measurements taken at the instant that the relay opens or later after the battery has had a chance to recover? Perhaps the battery can recover easier from a short term heavy load compared to a long term light load. I suspect that the circuit opens at the same voltage regardless of the load. But the battery will recover to different voltages depending upon the rate of discharge during the test.
