Let's take the lights first. There isn't a fuse for the headlights for obvious reasons, however, there is a self-resetting circuit breaker in the switch itself. It's nothing more than a bimetal strip that will warp if it's carrying too much current, and open a set of contacts, cutting current to the lights. A faulty ground, (resistance) is one way of requring a circuit to carry more current. I'd start by running another ground wire for the headlights directly to the frame, or even to the chassis battery's ground post.
