My head lights have gone off when I attempt to change from low beams to high beams and sometimes the lights have just gone off while I have been driving.

Hello,

It sounds like you might have a faulty headlight switch.
It is possible that you have corrosion or loose connection within the switch due to wear and tear.

Here is a helpful article:

It can also be due to a bad ground that the lights are just going off. In which you will have to trace the wires to find the issue. I have included the wiring schematics below.

I have attached the diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
