Default Anyone know what's wrong with my headlight?

my headlight wiring is like messed up or something. i noticed this recently, it's just making my right headlight go out sometimes, and in order to make it come back on i have to wiggle the socket that the bulb comes on. does anyone know what's wrong with it? does it need a new headlight, or is something wrong with my wiring? anyone help, id appreciate it. thanx.

sounds like either loose wire, or the filament in the bulb is broken and temporarily "fuses" back together.

Go get a new bulb. If there still is a problem...then its the wiring.

try using your good, lefthand side bulb...if that works, then you know it's the wiring...

prolly what Chris said, but you can always take it back to the dealer and warranty it

okay you know what, i just took a better look at the sockets that attach onto the bulb right now, and the one on the right seems to be burnt, like the plastic is a burnt color and it's warped bigger than the opening should be. i still just need to wiggle the bulb around to work and both the bulbs work. so does that mean it's the socket that needs to be replaced or the wiring? and about the warranty work yoshi, how do i get that done?
