Because your car battery is weak. When the engine is running, your electrical systems (including your headlights) are running off the alternator, which generates electricity directly from the engine. It is intended to take over for the battery and also recharge it. It's entirely likely that you will have been stranded somewhere, unable to start your car, by the time you read this.
