Twice in the last 2 weeks, my headlights have gone out while driving at night while the switch was in the autolamp setting. They did not come back on when I turned the light switch to "headliamps on" but the high beams do burn when I manually hold back the dimmer switch.

What is the most likely source of this problem and is replacing the worn out part (switch, light control module, photo sensor) something that a do-it-yourselfer with average skills and knowledge can do? If so, can you recommend an on-line source for the replacement part?
