Headlight problems

Anyone ever had a problem with there headlights not coming on? Mine sometimes will not come on, and it dosen't matter weather they are set to come on auto. or manual. If they won't come on, sometimes I can turn my truck off, wait a few minutes, start it again and then they will come on. If not I have to drive while manually holding the bright lights on, because the bright lights won't stay on by themselves if I can't get the regular headlights to come on. Hopefully all that made sense, and if anyone has any suggestions please help. Thanks, Chad

Sounds like the switch may be bad or have a loose connection. Pop the switch out and see if everything is connected right and the harness is plugged in fully. Only other thing is maybe a bad ground, but from what you are describing, I would start at the switch.
