I have a 00 v6 convertible with a headlight issue. While driving, the headlights fade sometimes, and if I play with the brights lever I can get them back. Both lights go out at the same time, and come back on at the same time. Anybody know of a fix for this issue, is it the headlight switch gone bad?
 
Well, the brights lever is separate from the headlight switch, so that wouldn't be the problem. It sounds more like some kind of intermittent ground problem, with a ground lead to the chassis or a headlight relay with corrosion on the lead. I would trace all the wires associated with the headlights and wiggle them one at a time with the headlights on. Watch for the lights to flicker and you have found the problem.
