I had a light problem where my driver low beam would go dark. If I turned the light switch off and back on, the low beam would light back up.

It turned out the headlight to socket connection on the tray was loose. With the light assembly out, I pushed down on the socket until it was firmly in place on the tower. Then I put the headlamp assembly adjusting it orientation until it went in place without much pressure. Since I did this five months ago, the low beam has stayed on over the bumpiest of roads.

So the connections can become loose. They can also become dirty so some electrical contact cleaner might help too. All this assumes that you have voltage at the socket on the tower and the resistance between the parking light + and ground pins isn't infinite.
