So I'm driving home on a 2 hour trip. It's a totally dark road and then "OHH s***T" went dark. Luckily my cat like, drifter reflexes instantly hit the low beams and decelerate and things where fine. So I would switch back and forth being aware of the problem. Some times it would work sometimes not. But after a while I switched back to high and it seemed fine.

I thought I noticed the lights kinda fade out a few times when switching back and forth between high and low.

Has any one had an issue like this or know what it might be? Relay? Short?Thanks Guys

Probably just a bad headlight switch.
