The headlights turned off. Turning the headlight switch on and off didn't do anything. Pulling the high beam switch made a momentary flash but didn't turn the headlights on. I pulled to the side of the road and after fiddling with the switches including the high beam, the lights fired up and then worked perfectly for the drive home.

Any thoughts on what to look for?
Pull the headlight switch and give it a good cleaning by spraying contact cleaner inside of it while switching it back and forth.
