Started for work this morning ,every thing fine,went a couple of blocks,switched my high beams on and the headlights went out.
switched back to low beam,nothing,went a couple of blocks and the low beams came back on.
I rode about 10 miles tried the high beams again and the lights went out again,so i switched back to low and now neither will work.
Any ideas on where to start looking for the problem,hopefully just the switch. thanks

Terry, this may sound a little far fetched but when that exact thing happened to me, it was the starter push button switch. I sprayed it with contact cleaner/lubricant and the problem went away. I am sure it is only a matter of time until it returns.

Did you just spray it on from the outside or take the switch apart

I just sprayed mine from the outside but I realize that is half-azzed way of doing it (o.k., I am lazy) I really should have taken it apart...and eventually i will probably have to do that.
