Default Head lights going off

My 2008 Lexus ES 350 headlight on driver side stays on for two minutes then go out. After cutting off/on it will remain on for minutes then passenger light goes off. Sometimes both. I read post saying bulbs, head light relay module. Some say I need to check for a short in wire. Some say fuse. I'm going to take it to a mechanic to check for short. Both lights are starting to go out now. Don't know what to do. I'm starting to get tickets. Help me!!!!

Default Head lights

I took car to a certified mechanic. I had a wire that is loose causing lights not to get enough volts. He have to drop my steering column and track wires. It was a part he bought from dealership which was $85. Not sure what part. If fuses are bad, lights won't work. Hmm. Wires wasn't grounded. I will spend a total of$140. God delivered me on this one.

Keep an eye on it. Those are the same symptoms of bulbs reaching the end of their life. Cheap ones can be found online if they need to be replaced.
