Default headlight issue?

96 s model

So my passenger headlight is acting up.
I turn on the headlights and only the driver
side turns on along with the corner lights.
I'm thinking it could be loose. I hit the headlight
from the outside with my hand a couple of times and
it turns on. It will stay on as long as I have the lights on.
I could drive and 10 minutes or an hour and it will stay
on. As soon as I turn the lights off and back on. I get
the same thing again. Thats why I'm not sure if its something
loose or it has to do with the headlight when its turned on.
This same passenger headlight looks dim and the driver looks
almost like its one of the brights. Car looks really F##@ up

Any ideas! Anyone know the best way to take these headlight
bulbs out??

Thx

Sounds like the filament in the bulb is broken.

Taking the bulbs out is easy. Just unplug the wire housing and then turn the bulb to get it to come out.

either a broken filament, or a shitty connection between the plug and the bulb. Test for both...
