Help.... Headlights!!

hey i was drivin last nite and all of a sudden my headlights turned off... i was like wtf. cuz i was drivin in hella dark place. at first i thot it was just the battery and that the car died but to my amazement the car was still runnin. so i stopped to pull over and check wat was wrong. i tried turnin the headlight switch on and off til it finally worked on me again. but it wasnt that long til my headlights went off again.. luckily i was just down the street!.. neways.. wat is wrong? is it the switch or fuse? my signal lights still work. ohhh and btw i just installed my fogs a cpl days ago but dont think that has to do wit it.. or maybe im wrong. :[

but ya.. please help me!!

Sounds like there is a short or something may be in the actual switch, i would take it to honda and have it checked out. And yes the fogs lights could have something to do with it.

01s and some 02s had a recall for the headlight switch problem (with low beams)

I would check with Honda about recall coverage.
