head lights

[Cratos]

Well I had the Grinch out at night for the first time ,and the darn head lights would just go out and then come back on a min later!! all wiring is new as is everything else switch was supposedly gone through when the dash was sent out and reconditioned. Also when I hit the brakes the light flicker once.
Any ideas? ( if it's not one dam thing it's another!!!

Has the car been painted?  Sometimes grounds can be the issue.

If your lights go out and then back on a minute or so later.. repeatedly....I'm gonna say your switch is suspect.

Your switch should have a circuit breaker in it.  Sounds like something is tripping the breaker and when it cools off, it resets.  It could be a bad switch or something else causing a high current load through the switch.

I have had the high beam switch cause this issue.

I've had this happen. Drove home with just the parking lights and road lamps on. Replace the headlight switch and the problem went away. I suspect it was my internal circuit breaker.

I had the same  issue when I replaced my headlights with halogen bulbs. They draw more current and would trip the circuit breaker in the headlight switch. I had to go to two 12 volt relays to get power to the headlights.
