That's a classic description of a missing ground.  Your stuff is all
getting grounded through the headlight filaments -- until you turn on
the lights.  You see this a lot in taillights, where the stop light
(big fat low-resistance filament) doesn't work but the running light
(little skinny high-resistance filament) does until the brakes are
applied, at which time the running light goes out.

Good Luck :)
