I had a problem with my headlights going off, not the high beams. Replaced the rectangular silver can thingy at the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side. I put a higher rated one in, which is a no no, but it solved the problem of the headlights going out.
If your headlights go out while you are driving, you can try switching to your high beams. When you get home, you can replace the bulbs.
When a cars headlights, AC, and radio are losing power, it is possible the alternator.
I would check for any loose connections/obvious things. otherwise replace the headlight switch.
while driving they serve to add visibility. If they stay on after you shut off the vehicle it is so you can make it to the house and find your key to get in when its dark, they should go out in a few minutes. You can probably avoid this by shutting them off before turning off the engine
Lighting module under dash. It's the brain that controls headlight on/off/automatic. Circuits get weak and go haywire. Silver rectangular with a sticker on it that says lighting module
The Kia Sorrento instrument panel lights go on and off with the headlights. The headlights go on with an automatic daylight sensor.
Short or overload in system and breaker is resetting itselfRemove one headlight at a time to try to determine where problem is

Had the same problem with my Grand Prix, ended up that the ignition switch had to be replaced. Hope this helps.
