Ya. I would definitely check all connections and grounds and make sure they are ok. I've been having a problem with my passenger side fog light too. But my ballast connection was a little loose and pretty much fixed it.

Check your grounds..... also.. do you have an intermediary relay? If so you'll want to inspect all that wiring as well.

Usually a ground is the suspect though.....

(I say this all 'assuming' you have digital ballasts.....)

Check the connection with the ballast, if good install a relay kit.
