sounds like you have more electrical issues than just the headlights,you need to start chaseing them down one by one,thay would be the best way to start.

Yeah you said that your lights shut off until you closed the door then they turned back on.

So its leading me to think you have some loose connections at the headlamp switching either the wires are melted or the switch is bad.

take a look at the wires going to your headlight switch and see if any our burned or loose.
