My headlights are being erratic! They will turn off for a few seconds and then back on. More prevelant when the high beams are on. There is a click when it happens and occasionally the parking brake dash icon comes on. Seems to happen more when the lights are on for night (dashboard switch on) vs. just on the running lights.

need to find the headlight relay in teh power center, check for trigger from the light switch when they dont work.If they go off and come right back on, you may need to have a shop look at it so they can set up some test equipment to see why they do it, might just be the switch, could be a weak relay
