something is seriously wrong with my headlights

for the past 4 years my headlights have been fine,
in the last like 8 months i've constantly had a problem where the headlight would start flickering and go out. I take to the dealer and they would "fix" it, only to have the problem happen again the next day.

would are the possible problems?

the things that usually occur are, in side the car, the left turn signal in the dash stays dimly lit, and when that happens my turn signals outside dont work. On top of that, my left headlight won't light up. this has happened three times now, and everytime i take it to the dealer, and they say that there is nothing specificalyl wrong, they don't tell me what they do exactly either, but now my warranty is up, and the extended warranty doesn't cover this, so i'd like to hear some thoughts before i take it to the dealer again and have to dish out a crap ton of money.

I think it may be the light controler box, its right next to the fuse box in the engine bay. Since this issue has been fixed by your dealer before, and is still occuring, acura should good-will the repair, also this is a hazzard as you cannot see well when driving at night and you turn signals do not work.

Would this be considered a lemon?
