Blown fuse? Bad ground? start there

That's my guess. If they came on momentarily that means the fuse is fine.

 

The Lights Will Come On About A Mile Down The Road And Stay On Until You Kill It.the N Restart It Does The Same Thing?i Can Dim It With The Switch?i Dont Know If It The Switch.could It Be The Headlamp Switch?

Do you have fog and tail lights, if not it is the turn signal switch.That's what was wrong with mine. Good luck

 

Same thing here. I bought the part from GM parts direct and installed it myself. $150.00 for an hours work vs. $500.00 and a week without the car to let the dealer do it. It was a tough choice

Easy swap out. I am not great at stuff like that either.
