Headlights turn off whilst driving

Post by Emma&Al »

Drove the van tonight and realised that my headlights had gone off..switched them off and on again and they were fine.
But think they've done this several times before - any ideas?

Thanks all - sorry for my guzillion posts, Im actually off work with the flu so have had lots of time mooching around thinking about my van :o

Could simply be a worn out faulty switch?

It's always worth cleaning the earth crowns up to see if that helps.
