I would start with checking all your grounds and inspect the ECM power feed as well as all of the connectors in the steering column for headlights and ignition switch for loose terminals or burnt wires.
Check the headlight switch and ignition switch for proper operation.
If you have a remote starter system this could easily be a problem with those connections since those aftermarket systems tap into the starter and running lights.
check all of the wires under the driver's side of the dash and in the steering column for signs of accessories tapped into the stock wiring.
