Where is headlight relay located? Headlights flicker off and on after approx. 10 minutes, but will burn if dimmer switch lever is pulled back and held.

If you have automatic headlamps, there is a high/low relay. If not automatic, I don't believe there is a relay. Could be a problem with dimmer switch?

If applicable, the hi/lo relay is under the left side of dash, picture isn't that great.
