Headlight works sometimes

My drivers side headlight works sometimes. I have replaced the drivers side bulb last week and got pulled because it was not working. I bought a new bulb and put it in. It worked when I put it in but stops working randomly.

With the headlights on and non-functioning...reach in as if to remove the bulb and put gentle pressure on the bulbs socket/attached wiring and see if the headlight flickers on/off or starts working.

DO NOT BREAK THE BULB !

Re: Headlight works sometimes

Thanks! That did the trick.

Now, how can I stabilize the connection?

You may need a new socket ??

This was just for testing.
