I have a ford crown victoria that was manufactured in may of 2002 that has the exact same issue. Yet when I contact ford about the issue they said my vehicle was not included in the recall. Working with a major automobile company previously in honda of america, I tried to understand why yet found no reliable answers. I've been having this issue for multiple years where my headlight will come on and just shut off while driving.

The headlights shut off while driving at night and had to pull and hold the highbeam/flash to pass lever. The headlights now turn off intermittently and more frequently and this is a huge problem safety wise and expensive when a cop pulls me over and gives you a citation!

Head lights turned off while driving on interstate hwy. At 70 MPH needed to pull over and after 15 min. Heard click and lights came on (later occurances same thing happened) upon dealer repair at over $400+ learned this is a common occurance with this car. Has not happened since repair. Safety issue yes if you loose lights its pretty hard to see where you are going at night on a unlit roadway. Ford should recall these models and repair and refund those that had to pay for the repair.
