Default Need Help With Front Headlight...

So I go to turn my headlights on yesterday and notice one of my headlights is not on.

I have someone stand in front of my car while I turn them on, and they said the one headlight flashes real quick then goes off...

So I know the bulb is not burnout... but what is the problem?

Bulb loose? Fuse? Anyone know?

Thanks

switch the bulbs from drivers side to passenger side and vica versa. That should indicate whats wrong.

Switch the bulbs around, could be something else. That happened to me when I bought some HID's and it turned out to be a wire harness that was bad.
