      I would suspect possibly the alternator on its way out, the power steering draws approx 60amps when in use and if the battery is discharged or the alternator not putting out enough current it can affect the headlights. Get the battery/alternator checked out first, then if thats ok suspect earth or power feeds to the headlights.
