I thinking that's a pretty good guess.
Since nobody has said it, I'm gonna' say.... rodents.
Doesn't sound like it's confined to the headlight(s).
Look under your hood for a nest or bare wires, some electrical tape might be your fix.
burn it
you sir, have electrical grimlins. And they are the biggest PITA on anything with 4 wheels. If you take it to a shop it is their dream because they generally automatically charge (x) amount of hours just to diagnose a electrical problem that cannot be read with an OBDII scanner...
Diagnosing electrical issues over the interwebs is just about impossible. I would start by working your way back to the switch.
Unplug the headlights, start the car. Turn on the headlights. Does the car die?
Remove the headlamp relay, start the car. Turn on the headlights. Does the car die?
Remove the headlamp fuse, start the car. Turn on the headlights. Does the car die?
That should narrow it down some, but without a wiring diagram, don't know how much.

This was designed as a day time car. not for use after dark.

My step-father, who has a local tire shop, helped. Well he actually did most of it. The alternator was a %ing ***** to get to on this car, then the bolt heads were facing inwards. Royal PITA.
