Headlight coming on and off

Hey fellow mini folks first post here and looking for some advise. The passenger headlight turns on and off at random even when sitting still in park. Doesn't look like a wire issue what could be causing this?

Which headlight version do you have? The halogen reflector lights, or the HID projectors?

Working intermittently would lead me to believe a loose connection or failing bulb….

The wire insulation in my R57 headlight housings [halogen] was very brittle. To the point a lot flaked off when I changed the bulbs & had bare wire making contact with each other & cutting the lights.
