Headlight Issue?

[Taters]

About 2 weeks ago my right side headlight went out and my left side was on. So naturally I was thinking it was the bulb. Well my wife went to move my car one day and turned on the headlights. Well then the left side was out and the right side was on then. So this made me wonder what was going on, and pissed me off. So I ask my boss what he thinks and he says it's a ground wire issue. Well on the way home from work it was dusk but not dark. Well I always run with my headlights on, so they were on now as they are usually. But I had people flashing there lights at me. This was irritating. Well I pull in my drive behind the wife's van and neither headlight is on, so I check the switch and it's in the on position. So I pop the hood and check the wires. They seemed tight but still no headlights. So I bump the top of the headlight with my fist and they both come on then. So I figured problem solved. All last week they were fine. Yesterday the right one went back out. Bumped it with my fist and nothing. So I don't know what to do about it. I pray it's not a wiring issue. Oh and the parking light that are built in haven't worked this whole time, or the right fog light either. Just worried its a major issue I don't have money to fix. Any serious advice or help would be appreciated. I hate seeing my car fall apart. Thanks. Sorry for the long story.

First try check your headlight fuse, the box is located on the right side of the engine bay, look at the diagram an check the fuse see if the connecting wire filament inside theic fuse is out, if so replace it. Next check out the bulb try not to touch the glass it'll burn bulb out much quicker, see if it looks burnt or the filament is weak, It could be at the worst the relay. But hopefully not get back to me an ill try to assist more if this doesn't work.
