Yep, I would 2nd the switch. Just pop it off with a screw driver to check the connections on it.

Actually it could be the photo sensor going bad. Much like the sensors on roofs of buildings that detect the sunlight dusk/dawn, your excursion has them for auto head lamps. I would also look into that. Does it do it on auto setting or manual setting too?
