I replaced the switch in the steering column and everything worked fine. A Couple days later the lights went out again. I stopped to turn my emergency flashers on, and back came the head lights. They stayed on long enough to get me home.
However, everytime i drive the car the head lights turn off. Sometimes they will come back on -then go off again and usually stay off.
* Note when head lights go off, the running lights on the car still work *

Hi alpaca1123,

When the headlight fails, test if you have battery voltage at both headlight fuses in underhood fuse box. If voltage is not present, the headlight relay is bad.
