What year and model? Do your the lights flicker when you move the lighting wiring harness? What exact bulb brand and model are you using? Any other electrical issues?

How does the connector look? Is there any heat damage to the connector or the housing where the bulb meets the housing?

HID or halogen?

For halogens, I would just simply check the wiring going to the connector and the connector itself.

For an HID, it might be the ballast.
