If you are already using relays then I think this can
be done with 3-off 4-pole changeover relays.

Small correction, you then also need a 3300 Ohm resistor to ground from output 7
of the CD4051 (see modified diagram above).
This because the switch to output 7 is normally open, and _something_ should
pull the resistor network to ground if 7 is not selected.
With max 2 bulbs on, in the other cases then 7, the divider would be 50k / 3k3.
And the voltage it would see about 11.3 V.
That gives a max off voltage at the MOSFET gates of about 0.7 V.
The current would be (if on) 12 / 3300) = 3.6 mA.
The internal switch in the CD4051 is max 150 Ohm and would hardly dissipate
anything.
Or use a CD4028 BCD to decimal decoder, as Joerg suggested, as it has a true zero output.
I personally have a whole lot of 4051 / 4053 switches around, as they can make any logic,
modulators, decoders, what not...
So that was my natural choice...

If I use CD4028, I will not need 3300 pull-down resistor? But the rest of the
circuit will remain the same?

That one is already 'on' at .8V, I'd rather use one that was on at about 6V :-)

The flyback would be positive, maybe above 60V in this case.
That intrinsic diode only limits negative swings.
Some MOSFETS have avalanche protection diodes that way (the intrinsic diode
then zeners), not this one I think.

Yes.
