Default Lights turn out and flicker when driving...

While driving every couple days or so my headlight will turn off or flicker.. when they turn off i can hit the bright switch and they will turn back on but i don't want them to someday just not turn back on. My parking lights stay on also when the headlight go out... Any ideas??

Without checking the schematic, I'd suggest taking a look at the headlight relay first--that's the easiest initial approach. The switch itself would be the second step.

What the? This dude has been with us since november 2008 and has only made 3 posts? IMO. Anyway, could be your head lights, could be your alternator. If you gave us the year and stylethat would help.
