    I wasn't sure if this belongs here or the lighting thread, but here it goes. Two weeks ago, my headlights started acting strange, the problem seemed to go away on it's own for the past two weeks, and then came back today. See the video below for the problem itself, describing it is difficult. I'm not sure but am leaning towards the Body Control Module as the source. Are any of you experienced enough to give me some direction to start troubleshooting this?

    I’m no expert but I would start by replacing the head light relay and go from there.

    I would say the switch is going bad, but just a guess
