Very likely it is the headlight switch as it has a circut breaker built in to it. On bright the current draw is more than it can handle so it has to cut out untill it can cool off, then it may come back on.

Hi,

I just had the exact same problem.

Fomoko1 is right, $24.00 at the local parts store and "click" headlights again!
