Default bad headlight bulbs or bad battery...?

Most of the times the headlights on my 08 works fine but sometimes one of them won't turn on. It happens to both sides and is happening more often now. Wondering if this is a sign of bulb going bad or the battery... Any insights would be appreciated.

Sounds like bulbs to me - when they don't go on, if you switch them on and off do they turn on?

Yeah, usually it turns on the second time. Sometimes i have to turn it on and off two three times and it comes on.

You can have the battery tested at advance etc. if you think it's connected but my guess would be the bulbs then
