I have a 2010 with a headlight issue that I am in need of advice or help to search and or fixing. The driver side headlight went out, hit a bump and it came on then 3 days later went back out. I thought maybe a loose connection. Pulled out bulbs and reconnected with no change. Bought 2 new bulbs and replaced them and it worked for a week and the same problem returned. YT vid tells about a factory loose connector so I cut and replaced the OEM connectors. The same thing worked for a week and then out again. Another YT vid shows to add these pigtails between the OEM connector and bulbs, well it worked a week and now out again. Where do I look for a bad connection or search for another problem?

Is it always just on one side (same side)?

My guess is going to be moisture or a bad ground. But I will wait to verify it’s consistently the same side
