2020 Tahoe LT’s headlights turned off by themselves!?

On the way to work yesterday at 5am(pitch dark), my headlights went out. I twisted the knob from auto to “headlights on”, but they only stayed on for 2 minutes and turned off again..
I pulled into a gas station and turned the knob again back to auto, only one headlight came on and went off after a minute or so.
the whole time, however, the green “headlights on” indicator in the instrument cluster stayed on(even though the actual headlight was off).

Is this the result of the LED bulbs I installed? Are they overloading the circuit protecting the system?

Has this happened to anyone else?
