Headlights rapidly dimming or dying - dodgy connection?

[Banjoblue]

Hi guys

When I put headlights on they turn on then rapidly fade or die. Both headlights together. Side lights are ok as is high beam. Suspect it's a dodgy connection or wire that's failing once current heats it up. Is this a common fault and if so does anyone have any idea where to check first?

Maybe check over .. clean .. any relevent lecky conections .. burnt out headlight bulb holders are known to give problems .. but they can be cheaply / easily changed for ceramic ones off eBay ..

Also its been known to be a headlight dimming system used in Japan, works on dipped and when reflected glare is spotted, normally there is an additional switch on the dash.

Top man! Yeah, little obscure switch down by my right knee. Sorted. Thank you very much!
