Classic symptoms of a bad HL switch (even tho its new) Murphys Law. Unfortunately no return (usually) with electrical parts. I'd purchase another one & likely you will be fine.

The headlights have a self resetting circuit breaker. That is what's causing the lights to go off, then after a while work.
Now the question is what is tripping the breaker.
I'd check for loose and dirty connections.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Glad to hear you got it. I would see the headlite switch cause that problem most of the time as some times the contacts in the circuit breaker in the switch get corroded and it cause some heat in the switch which can trip the breaker in the switch. Ron
