So I'm driving along and both my headlights go out at the same time. I say "GREAT!" in a pi**ed off manner and rock the highbeams till I get home.

Next day, just jiggling the socket a bit gets the one headlight on. Then about an hour later it goes out again.

Bulbs are okFuses are okSockets are okWires immediatly connected to the sockets are ok

Didn't trace the wires far back yet, and I'm kinda unsure of what to even look for...I assume it is a short or something, but have no clue, any info would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, its a 96 if that matters at all.

Start by checking all of the fuses, then check for pos. and neg. voltage at the socket with a multimeter, then check the dimmer switch.
