1st,make sure the battery cables are tight...If so,more than likely a headlamp door control module (they get water in them) or headlight switch :yesnod:

I have the same problem when the lights are really hot. After they cool down with the lights in the up position I have been able to go back, turn the lights on and off to close the headlight doors. I don't know if this is a problem with the custom harness I installed for my T-84 Euros with 80/100 watt bulbs. :flag
