Default lights go out whenever i turn or hit a bump.

I got a buddy who has an s2000, and hes having trouble with his lights. he says that it doesn't happen all the time but if it does its when he hits a bump or turns. im not to sure i asked if he had HIDs and he doesn't that car is all stock. i checked to make sure the lights were plugged in all the way, and looked at the grounds right there under the hood on both sides. ive never got to really play with s2000s so i figured id ask you guys maybe you guys know where to look or to start?

Thanks
Jason.

Check to make sure the battery terminals are clean and the cables are firmly attached to the terminals.

Yeah i was just informing as if they were not after market ones knowing that they always go out when wiring problems. Where would the ballast be? Ive never been under the hood, yet. so I just wanna make sure I know where im looking.

Thank you guys
