Default headlights going dim then go out!!!

I switch my head lights over to dim they go out after a few minutes. I switch them to high beam then back to dim, they work for a few minutes then go back out. I changed the dimmer switch but problem still exists.

Any suggestions.

I have something similar before and I'm thinking it was either a bad ground or wiring grounding out and when it got hot would just shut down. Check all of your connetions, plugs and wires for anything corroded or loose.

Just a guess, but maybe a poor low beam connection, creating resistance and overheating, causing circuit breaker to overheat.
