Is it both bulbs that blink on-off for highs, or just one? If just one, try replacing the bulb. Sometimes one filament can fail but not the other (they are dual filament bulbs).

Loose wire, bad dimmer switch, would be my two guesses if they both blink. I'd probably say more likely the dimmer switch.
