Default Right side low beams acting up

Not sure if it's the weather or something's loose? Ever since the weather started getting colder, my right side low beam starts to die off, comes back on after a day. At first, I thought it was my aftermarket low beams that burnt out and changed out to stock - same thing happens. I have a K&N intake and VLEDS DRL LED (uncovered dust box, left it open - too lazy to drill a hole).

Once in a while I get moisture in the right side headlights too.

Any thoughts on this?

The fact that moisture gets in there would give me cause for concern. Are you able to access all the connectors, wiggle them and ensure that they are tight and corrosion free?

Hahaha! I know! I guess this forum will be my only hope when it comes to problems and opinions! I hate the dealership, they always tell me to spend $100000 more.

reason #148 not to mess with OEM electrical anything. LED puddle and fog lights are cool until you have to explain to the dealership that your warranty isn't protected because you wanted brighter lights shining on your Nike's when opening your car door
