Drivers side litronic low beam issue - I'm stumped

[boxxster]

So my drivers side low beam seems to work intermittently and I can't figure out why. It's always on when I start the car, but usually goes out after 5 or 10 minutes. If I turn the car off, then back on, it always comes back on.

Recently I found out that when the light goes out, I can just pull the fuse out for that light even with the car running and the light will go back on as soon as I put the fuse back in, and it will stay on too. For example, the past 2 nights I have taken the car out for a drive. Both times the headlight went out after a few minutes. Each time I pulled over, removed and reinstalled the fuse with the car still running and afterwards the headlight was totally fine for the duration of the drive (~half an hour).

So far to troubleshoot I have done the following:

-Removed and cleaned the headlight switch
-Swapped fuses
-Removed the headlight, cleaned the connections, and ensured everything was attached correctly
-Swapped the ballast and igniter with those from a spare headlight
-Changed the low beam bulb

I'm not an electrical expert so I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any ideas? why would it go out in the first place? Why does it seem to work perfectly fine after I "reset" it by turning the car off or taking the fuse out? Please help lol
