Default 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier Light Problem

I just bought a 2004 Cavalier and after 3 months of owning it the right low beam headlight will start "blinking" like a turn single. Now this does not happen every time I start the car. I would guess in the last 3 weeks its happened 3 times.

Some times I can hold the bights on for about 30 seconds and it will stop. I am thinking this is just an electrical problem but I am not sure and before I look into further anyone have any ideas what the heck it is?

Ground problem or a loose/breaking wire at the bulb connector probably. If it was a headlight switch or relay problem both sides would do the same thing, so it's obviously something specific to that one light.

Ya so? You couldn't possibly be insinuating DSM's are unreliable are you?

I'm sure he probably got the problem fixed, because this thread is from TWO YEARS AGO...
