I had a similar experience with a Jeep. Cruising happily down a
mountain road by moonlight, and headlights, then... only by moonlight...
EEEK! As it turned out, water leaking from my soft top would run down
behind the instrument panel and onto my headlight switch. It got
corroded and would fail intermittantly. Replaced the switch, fixed the
top, no more problems.
Good Luck,

Problem was a burned up light switch that would get very hot and then fail. The truck had a utility body on it w/ lots of marker lights that added to the amp draw thru the switch. A replacement switch saved the day.
