Headlight Bulbs not turning on randomly

Hi All,

I recently noticed one of my low beam headlights won't turn on. Some times it is the right one and at other times it is the left one.

I have the original bulbs and when they are on they are bright.

Not sure what could be the issue. I am planning to replace both and see whether it is actually the bulbs.

Thanks

I have replaced both the bulbs and same issue.

I have original bulbs all these yeas (240K Miles, 13 Years) and i thought may be it's time to change them.

After changing the bulbs i tried numerous times and it's so random that every time i turn on the headlights only one of them is on. some time both are off. Out of 20/30 times only ones both are on.

Not sure what could be the issue. ran the diagnostics test and no codes are found.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
