Possible Wiring Glitch?

I just recently bought my car ('85 Z28) from a guy a couple weeks ago. Everything generally is in good shape except when I run my high beams on a bumpy road....Sometimes all of my headlight will go out completely (fog lamps aside as they aren't there but there are wires to where they used to be there). Is this some kinda loose wiring glitch or something else I could check to see? I'm completely new to troubleshooting cars...I'm a computer guy lol. I want to learn though to be able to do these things myself

Most likely a ground problem. Check the grounds bolted either side of the rad support for corrosion, loose etc.
