Default Headlights keep going out

I have a 97 JGC and my headlights went out while I was driving so I took it in and they replaced the fuse. Then the next day they went out again so I replaced the fuse again and they told me the wires were touching so I had that repaired. I stopped using the auto lights thinking that was it and only turning on the lights at night but they went out again and I held the bright light switch and they came back on, I dont know what is wrong....Plz help

Exactly what do you mean by this?
Have you switched the head lights to a higher wattage recently?
Did you use the same amp fuse that it calls for?

All in all it sounds like you have a short and are drawing too much current through the line.

I would change the bulbs if you haven't in a while and make sure to get the correct wattage, if your bulb is half blown it could, although rare, cause it to blow fuses constantly and seem if nothing else is wrong.

If the problem is still happening then I would suggest chasing wires to find one that is wore to copper and use some electrical tape and if you want to be fancy a butt connector and some wire loom.
