I then turn off the headlights, and immediately turn them back on, and the light goes on again.

Default Same thing (driver's side)
from what i've gathered could be:
1) ignitor
2) battery connection
3) bulb

Dealer told me better to just wait until it finally gives way - then pick up a new ignitor online for less $$
