Default 2010 Headlight Help

I have a 13 but my dads 2010 passenger headlight will randomly turn on and off. we have changed bulbs and looked at the connector it is clean no corrosion no loose wires at the bulb. Any suggestions or anyone have this same issue?

Had a similar issue with one of my fog lights, for what ever reason the female socket pins were spread apart far enough to make intermittent connection, I used a small pick tool to close the contacts a bit and haven't had another issue. This was almost 2 years ago.

Do you have the headlight switch in the auto mode? Possibly a fault in the switch?

Recheck the pins. I just had this happen on my 2011. I had a burned out headlamp and when I put the new bulb in it lit briefly and went. I'm like "what the,,," I disconnected the connector and found that the bulb contact shaved a bit of plastic off as I plugged it in. This plastic prevented good contact between the bulb and plug. I used a pick and electrical contact cleaner and it worked fine. Tolerances must be close.
