Introduction
Having a problem with headlights (main and dip) going off when hitting any of the many pot holes on our roads
Hi.. 
Have you replaced the Battery to Chassis cable?
Not sure of the build spec of this car... It's fairly early..
Switchgear can fail.. But usually different symptoms
Yours sounds like a basic power /circuit problem
Have you owned it long?

It's actually my wife's car. I bought it in 2012 for her. Car has been pretty good until this problem. Strangely both dip and main beam go off for a short time, she tried both. I was wondering if it may be a relay fault?
Sorry, thanks for replying!

Hi!
My English is still quite bad, so I use g-translator, so I apologize if what I wrote is grammatically incorrect!
First of all, I would check the body points of the lamps (there must be a black box or screw on the extension directly behind the lamp, to which other black wires go). If the grounds are good, I would look at the lamp sockets next. If they are also perfect, then I would look at the relays next. If there are no problems with these, then the steering wheel switch remains, but it is tricky, since the base of the steering wheel switch is one with the airbag transfer belt (unfortunately, the two are not available as separate parts, so even when disassembled, there will not be a functioning airbag belt).
