My guess is that the insulation on the wiring inside the headlight is starting to fall off and some bare wires are occasionally touching. I just built up a pair of headlights with Morimoto bixenon projectors. Got the all finished, clearcoated the outer lenses and installed them. The driver side foglight only worked dimly, and the left turn signal light was glowing on my dashboard when the fog lights were turned on. Thought I had fixed all the bad wiring but the wires down to the turn signal light and fog light had lost some insulation after I finished the build and sealed the lenses back on. So apart the driver side came and I spliced in new wire where needed. Problem solved. Remove your headlights, take off the back covers and have a look inside. You may be able to fix enough wire from there without removing the outer headlight lens and almost completely taking the unit apart.
