If you have a manual transmission, I might also suspect a bad park/emergency brake switch.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will look into the sensor for the headlights.
I'm a total novice in this, but why would the parking brake switch cause both the dashboard and headlights to "restart" (I actually hear the same "click" that is heard when I start the car whenever the problem happens).
