sounds like a bad connection. Replace your bulbs and clean out the connectors at the same time. You can test the connectors with a multimeter too and do a wiggle test on the wires to make sure there aren't any breaks too.

I suppose it could be a bad connection or wire, but it is really rare for these issues to manifest without some sort of previous trama. Accident, or replacing the headlamp.

It sounds a little crazy to ask, but I've seen hairline cracks in the filament of the bulb that cause it to flicker on and off as you hit bumps in the road.

The connectors can get grime and shit on them, turn signals more than headlights, but a good cleaning takes care of that
