Headlights decide to go out and come back as they please..!

Some nights it will do it every five minutes. Where they will turn off, so I hit the brights once and they come back. Then other nights it might just do it once or twice? Is it a loose wire or a bad switch? The switch is like $89.99!!

thanks much...
