1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2020

The low beam headlights hid have gone in and out while diving at night. . Then they have now blown out twice. At $100 dollars a piece. . This is unacceptable. . !! there seems to be a shot circuit in the light switch itself. . It has blinked off when using the turn signal as well which leads me to come to this conclusion. .

While driving down the road the headlights flicker and go out completely. I have to flip the turn signal switch or tap the column to get them to turn back on . It happens several times on my 32 mile trip home from work at night . It happens in motion or stationary. Mainly when I use a turn signal or hit a bump in the road .
