Best Answer

Headlights are typically ran through a resetting circuit breaker rather than fuses for safety reasons. If you have added lights to your Jeep on this circuit, they may be too much of a draw. If not, you may look at replacing the breaker as a likely starting point. 20 minutes sounds like just the right amount of time for it to heat up and trip off.

2000 Jeep Wrangler headlights won't turn on but parking light do?

If the headlights do not come on and the parking lights do in a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, it is possible that the fuse is blown for the headlamps. It is also possible for them to both be burned out due to touching the glass part when installing them. Oil in the fingers will overheat them and burn them out.
