Kelly,

Check the grounds.  Kneel down on the ground on the driver's side. Look
up under the dash, to the left of the clutch pedal, above, on the wall.
Find a multi-point ground "star"connector munted there. It  contains,
among other things, the ground for the headlights. Wiggle the various
wires/connectors, and you may find corrosion and or deterioration.
Replace and or repair as needed. You may have to remove the two screws
which hold the fuse and relay panel.  Before you try the above,
disconnect negative terminal on battery).
