Driver Side Headlight Going Out?

Sometimes driver headlight doesn't turn on. Occasionally if I turn the lights off and on it will go on. This goes for both low beams and high beams.

No problems with it remaining on at all. Checked all wires and fuses. Could it be a relay? If so, which one?

It's not the ballast, I bought a whole new HID kit and it hasn't solved my issue.

I think you have a bad relay. Swap places with your headlight relays. If the problem transfers to the right side, then replace the right headlight relay.

high and low problem together is odd,
I would look at the turn signal/headlight switch on the steering column
its called the `stalk switch` and is a `buy it separate piece` of the entire column switches

someone else had a failure on that recently

Yeah it wasn't the relays at all... Do you know if it's fixable or I for sure have to get the piece?

if its the stalk switch then you replace that part
Its sold separate from the entire unit of steering wheel controls at least- so not heavily overpriced, or junkyard/auto recyclers will have some

I'm not sure= but likely honda parts work!
Anyone have specific knowledge on that?! for the dismantler yard scroungers?

Just that part correct? (I am sure it is, but double checking JIC)

Yes that's the correct part you want to buy. That switch controls both low and high beams. Also turn signals.
