Headlights blink on and off

I just bought an 84 Bronco and the headlights blink on and off after about 10 minutes...is there possibly a relay that may need replacing?
Has anyone else ever come across this problem that can steer me in the right direction to repair it?
Thanks in advance...

If the system HAD a relay it wouldn't do that.

The common fix to Ford's Circuit breaker in the light switch is to:
Re-wire them with a relay system.
You will increase the illumination from the bulbs and be less stressful on the switch.

I have a 91 ford tbird and I had the same problem While driving at night my headlights would go on and off. I finally changed the pull switch on the dash and it solved my problem . This was a few years ago but I think switch assembly (it controls the interior lights also) was about 40-50 bucks.
