have you checked your fuses? if so have you pulled the headlight switch out to see if the harness is burnt on the connector?

I think the key word is "sometimes". Intermittent failures usually mean that there is an intermittent ground, a short, or a loose connection. Especially if the fuses are fine, that leads me to believe it may be a loose connection. If ALL the warning lights fail at the same time, I'd check to see if there is a loose connection at or near the warning light cluster.

That might do it. Ersatz cupholder, perhaps? Let us know.
