Headlight problem

Not sure who can help me but my drivers side headlight goes out after like 3-5 min if you turn the lights off then back on again it will come back on and then in 3-5 min go out again. Only happens on the drivers side. Did a search not a common problem. Any help would be great car is out of warranty with 63k thanks

to be more, can try to swap the bulbs left and right and see if the problem goes to passenger side. if so, the bulb is dying, get a new pair. don't get just one, otherwise color will be different and it will look weird

get the bulbs from ebay, oem bulbs are cheap

I think its the ballast, when i bought a cheap set for my maxima i had the same problem. But definatly switch bulbs to see if it stays the same.

After adjusting my bulbs I started to have this problem. Seeing as I only adjusted the driver side it only happens on that side. I have the same exact problem where it goes out and I have to turn if off and turn it on for it to come back on, but mine doesn't happen as frequent as yours. New bulbs will probably fix your problem.
