Drivers side Headlight

Question

I have an 08 Silverado and the drivers side bulb will come off and on at random times. If i wiggle the bulb it will turn right on. The connection appears to be fine and I don't see and loose wires or fraying. My father has an 08 as well and he is experiencing the same problems. Any suggestions / solutions ?

 

Thanks.

There are only a couple of causes. One is the socket may have loose wires inside, that will start the socket melting. Another is a broken filament in the bulb itself, and by moving it, the filament touches the break and temporarily weld itself back together, and will break again after a couple of heat cycles. You need to verify the bulb is good first, I would swap the bulb with the passenger side bulb and see if the issue changes sides of the truck.

 

If that does not change the problem to the passenger side, then you know the issue is in the socket/wire connections. Take a good look at the bulb connections in the socket for any discolouring or looseness. Black or blue colours are bad.
