Default Headlight question

Here in the past couple of days my headlights have began to act up. It doesn't do it every time but a couple of times the lights don't come up when I turn the ****. Sometimes they come up on the first twist but other times I have to twist it back and forth several times before they pop up. Any one had an similar issues?

Travis, I have had the same problem with my car. It doesn't happy very often and actually hasn't happened in a couple years. Look under the hood and check your wires. A family of mice decided it would be better to sleep under my hood (during winter storage) then in cold and they did a little midnight snacking on my wires. If you got some chewed up wires then use electrical tape to re insulate each individual wire and you should be good to go. The wires if exposed could be grounding/shorting each other out.
