Headlight problem

I drive a 96 f150 and after it sits around 6 hours minimum the headlights don’t work. After driving it a little and pulling the switch over and over it will work again but takes a good minute. All of my other lights go on. Anyone know how to fix? I’m guessing it’s an electrical problem but I’m not too experienced with that.

check the headlight switch and plug for heat damage. that is the usual culprit.
it could also be the multi function switch (blinker switch) in the steering column
