Make sure the lights chassis ground is clean & tight. Bad grounds can do some very strange things...

I had the exact same problem, I looked at my headlight wiring and found that my ground had just about fallen off!

Good Luck!

Like deadbird said, check your connections. They're the most likely suspect. Look for corrosion in your headlight plug, dirty contacts, etc. run a little sandpaper over them and then ad a little dielectric compound to help keep moisture out.
