The headlights "turn out" at night when it is below 45 degrees and the car is not warmed up yet after the blinker "resets" to center when making a turn after about 78K miles. This is a power surge problem with the high beam function of the blinker arm that shuts the ballast off just long enough to loose one or both headlights. You can turn them off for one full second and back on they will be fine until the next turn or when the motor comes up to normal operating temperature.
You would not drive it at night or when the law says you must display headlights.

Headlights might stay on in a Honda Odyssey after the engine is turned off because of a courtesy timer. The headlights will stay on for a few seconds after exiting the vehicle so the driver can go into a building at night safely. If the headlights are staying on all the time, check the timer for this feature.

Possible ground issue at the taillights.
Check the fuses.
I would replace the headlight switch as Ford has had their share of these problems.
Some cars have a knob for the headlights. If this knob is turned left or right when pulled out, it changes the brightness of the dashboard lights from off to full brightness.
Headlights run off the battery not the ignition...

A bad ground wire will cause dim headlights, or will cause lights not to work.
