might want to check the lighting relay in the relay box on the passenger side under the hood.. also check to see if the headlight sensor might be bad as well...

check your grounds!, make sure you have a good ground from batt to body, and to the engine, look for any gound wires at or near the headlights, also check any other electrical connectors for signs of fatigue or moisture, clean all contacts with electrical contact cleaner and hit them with a little di-electric grease
