Default 2004 sp 500

All three headlights go out while riding (hi beam and low beam). Will come back on after it sits. I'm going to replace the handlebar switch assembly but wanted to know if the two black circuit breaker bags under the hood have anything to do with the lights? I believe they are breakers but after spending several days searching I am unable to find an answer. Looking for ideas what could be the problem. I haven't had a chance to really tear into yet, too darn hot.

No pics. My main focus is on the bags under the front cowling. If I'm not mistaken they contain thermal circuit breakers. Are those circuit breakers part of the lighting? If they do not then I think the headlight switch will need replaced.

I dont know anything about your bike. But if i see your components i can tell you what they are and give ideas on how to identify your circuit. But the easy way to tell would be to follow the wires up to the harness.

Still hoping someone can answer my question about the black bags under the hood. I know they are thermal breakers and one is for the fan motor. Do the headlights go through the other thermal breaker?
