Default Headlight Problem
When i turn on my headlights my driver side headlight wont turn on, but if i get out and smack it a few times then it will turn on. All my other lights work fine. Do i have a headlight thats about to burn out? Or some other issue? any ideas?

Could be a loose wire, have you checked the connections?

This or a bad filament in the light. Check the connection. If it is good, swap with the other headlight to confirm one is going bad

It might be a good time to upgrade to better lights. There are many options that won't break the bank
