check if your relay is clicking under the hood when you turn your lights on and off

If they are aftermarket I want you to check for grounding. My bet is some sort of lose connection.

yup its always a grounding issue in most case. there was a recall for 01-02 civics where a wire in the switch would burn and cause lo beam not to work.
