Questions: I have a 1957 CJ-5. The headlights turn off after driving 10 miles. The next day they work again. Then they turn off after 10 miles of driving or about 10 minuets the next day. This has been going on for about 2 months now. What causes this? What needs to be replaced?

Sounds like you could have a short or a bad ground. I would check all of your connections.

If you have a headlight switch with a circuit breaker check to see if it is hot by reaching under the dash and touching it after it happens. The breaker could have dirty contacts requiring replacement. If you are supplying extra non factory electrical items from that circuit breaker it also could be overloading it. It sounds as if it is tripping and resetting after cooling down. See if it is hot to the touch. Heat equals resistance. And resistance makes more heat. Good luck.
