Bad grounds can cause some strange problems. ERAs typically have an engine ground strap, a ground strap on the trans and a cable from the battery to the frame.

I would clean them. You can measure resistance across them with a DVM when the problem is happening.

My theory is the headlights have a very high draw. I wonder if there is 12v at the head lights, but not enough amps to light them? That is easy to check.

I actually enjoy chasing electrical problems. It is a sickness.
