Sounds like an intermittently open circuit. Check for loose or cooroded connections at the socket where you plug in the light bulb. Also you could clean and adjust the socket itself for a snug fit. You'll notice two soldered points on the bottom of the bulb, these points should fit snugly into the socket casing. Use a pair of needle nose plyers to gently pull the small strip of metal, located in the center of the socket, a little at a time until a snug fit is obtained. If there is any play between the bulb and the socket this could cause intermittent operation. Make sure your head lights, brake lights and running lights are off before making adjustments.

Why do all your lights work but not your headlights?

Headlights are light bulbs not too much different from the bulbs in your home...they must be periodically changed. In short...you have a blown bulb. If you replace the bulb and the lights still do not work you must check the fuse to see if it is blown. If it is not the bulb or the fuse, you have an electrical problem requiring a mechanic.
