Hello, Hope to get some info on my headlights. 1985 camaro lights flicker and go out after being on for 15 min. Changed out the headlight switch and thought that would do it. Same problem? Thank you in advance.

Could be a short in the wiring or ? causing the circuit breaker to open-up.

Could also be the dimmer switch. If the contacts get corroded then heating from high resistance will open the circuit.
