Default Having problems.

I have a 1997 Dodge ram 1500. After a while of driving with the high beams on my headlights try to shut off. I have no idea how to work on electrical so I was wondering before I tear it apart if someone knew what might be the reason it is messing up.

Probably the switch is overheating. Need to pull the bezel around the cluster (carefully, they are easy to break), pull the switch, and have a look at the switch, and the connector. See what things look like.
