It sounds like your headlight switch is going bye-bye. All
the electricity to power those headlights goes through the
switch, which eventually takes its toll and causes it to fail.

I'd replace the switch and relay the headlights so that the
switch powers the relays. See:

Oh, and welcome. By the way, the list has been around a lot
longer than just 2 days. :)
