I have a '03 Ford Crown Victoria LX (100k mi), and recently the headlights will turn off at random. If I hold the brights on, they will stay on (meanwhile pissing everyone off). If I let go of the brights, the lights go completely dark. The regular lights sometimes come back on as randomly as they went off. Any thoughts?

It could be the switch.

It’s most likely the LCM (Lighting Control Module). It is almost never the light switch.
