Doesn't the micu control the lights, maybe its acting up, that is the only thing I can think of.

Good point joker,these cars MICU's seem to have issues. Not very frequently, but enough so that there is even SB's out on it.

If it happens all the time,everytime,exactly like that. I would start there first,check the connections.Then move on to swapping bulbs to opposite sides. I wonder if the Combination switch itself could be acting up as well; something to think about...

Its random bulb light up, first you have one side, then the other, then none, then one again. Its so random, that considering the bulbs or switch isn't really an option. Personally I would be surprised if it is the bulb or switch.

don't think is the switch because my parking lights turn on, unless I'm wrong and headlight part of the switch can go bad? this is seriously crazy lol

looking at your video again, i noticed that the foglight was only coming on for the headlight that came on. That further leans me towards the MICU.
