i fought with a strange headlight issue that made no sense for about a year until i finally swapped out the headlight switch and it worked fine, also theres two wires for the headlights that go directly to the battery, check those, and if its not those, check your switch.

no, they both go directly to the positive terminal from the fuse block right by the battery.
