Turn off your turn signals!
Sell that low milage 55 to me and that will solve your problem.
I am having issues with my 69 also but it just blows a fuse and everything goes black, I believe that it is in the hi/lo switch or a bad ground. I tried messing with the on off switch and cannot get it to fail and of course if I run with the lights on in the daylight I have no problems. After reading this board for awhile the other areas are were I'm going to look next.

Your name is kinda redundant. But check all your grounds and make sure they are clean and on a clean surface. Also make sure your battery has good connections. Clean them babies.
Perhaps Kip works for the Department of Redundancy Department?
Hey Kip, your prob. kinda sounds like the prob. I'm having with mine. So far the general consensus is voltage regulator. If your charging system is stock, you may consider replacing it.
I agree with Skyshark. I had a similar problem and replaced the alt, VR and no effect. I disconnected the ground from the frame and cleaned up all the connections and no more problem. They will dim a little when you stop. I had already replaced the alt with a 55W Duralast ($40) from autozone before I cleaned the ground, so it might have been the two together.
Also check your grounds at the lights themselves.
