i pushed down on all my fuses and checked em, they all are not burnt out, the headlight fuse or relay labeled HEAD is clean and secure, the car starts up fine so i dont think its alternator and i got a new battery less than a month ago. ( old one died) .
also is the headlights connected to the center console lights ? cuz those come off and on at random also.

So, it might be a lot of work. Following the circuit will eventually pinpoint the issue. Or, you could take a simpler but less accurate approach -- make sure battery connections are clean and tight, then replace the relay and see if problem goes away. If not then you're back to having to take a more disciplined troubleshooting approach.
