Get new light bulbs, your headlights in the center have a two stage filament, most likely the low beams are used way more than the high beams and the filamant is going bad producing a weak output.

If its not the bulbs than its the switch, a wire may be loose behind it

Had the same problem and it was the switch itself. Got a brand new motorcraft part from blueovalindustries.com Was $30 cheaper than the Ford dealer near me.
