HI MIKE, HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR HEADLIGHTS,YOU COULD HAVE HALOGEN OR OTHER HIGH WATTAGE BULBS OR SEALED BEAMS UP FRONT,THEY WOULD BLOW YOUR FUSES AFTER A BIT,FIT A RELAY ON YOUR HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT
BEST OF LUCK MATE...PHIL

To me it sounds more like a wire grounding out occasionay. first place i would look would be under the carpet by the dimmer switch to see if
one of the wires isulation is wore thin
as for the headlight swith i dont beleve the lights are fused untill after the switch.
the circuit kinda goes like this>> bat headlamp
switch out from switch with head lamps and park lamps to fuse box then out from there
