Headlight Electrical Problem

ok got out into my car this mourning and drove to work, it was raining alittle so i had the headlights on. got to work shut off the lights and everything was fine. started it back up and my add coolant light was buzzing so i opened the radiator cap and found was alittle low and i toped it off when i noticed my headlights were opening and closing non-stop. anyone ever have this problem before? i had to take out the 30A fuse for the headlights for them to stop.

i didnt have the exact same problem, but my guage lights, as well as parking lights would flash on and off, and eventually stop working. turned out to be a bad switch, now i have a used switch in, and noticed that my rear defrost will click on and off occasionaly. im assuming the problem is somewhere in the switch
