Drivers side headlight is stupid

it works only when it wants too...today when i started my car both lights came on..so i drove around and then the auto lights turned them off...then i was in traffic under a tree so it was shady so auto lights turned them back on but the drivers side didnt..but both my brights work

i bet when i get to my car after school both lights will work

I've been fighting this issue for the past three years!

Only the lowbeam goes out on teh driver side. The passenger side, I've never had to replace yet. I only did so they looked the same color. It's irritating as hell. I had them look at it 4 times under warranty, no luck. I'm about to throw in HID's and call it a day. It'll be cheaper in the long run since by now I've spent near $200 on ******* headlight bulbs
