1999 Dodge Durango.
We live way out in the middle of nowhere, and frequently in winter have
to turn our high beams on.
Sometimes, when turning the high beams on or off, the headlights will go
out all together. We have to turn flipping them on and off a few times
and then they correct themselves.
What might cause something like this? |

Heat opening a circuit somewhere.

Any idea how to find out where? 
Might replacing the headlights do it? The bulbs get pretty hot, that
could cause a problem although in theory it shouldn't. >> Stay informed about: Durango headlights randomly go out |

I agree, if it only happens on switch activation it's likely a balky switch
rather than a heat load tripping. >> Stay informed about: Durango headlights randomly go out |

That's pretty much what I thought, the heat suggestion threw me
Time to go get a Haynes manual.
