Low beam headlights
Previous owners of my C5 Corvette installed LED bulbs in the head light sockets. Sometimes the right low beam will come on first time you turn the switch and sometimes you have to turn the switch more than once. Bad bulb or short in the wiring?

Are you saying that you have to turn the MFS on and off multiple times to get both low beams to illuminate? How do the lights operate with the twilight sentinel turn on?
Will you being doing the repairs if necessary....if even a bulb change?

If these are vette light leds, they should have come with resistor harnesses. It's possible the one for the low beam is on it's way out. Another thing to check is to make sure the bulb hasn't worked itself loose from the socket. I caught hell installing my drivers side low beam trying to get it to turn to the lock position. Try swapping resistors from right to left and see if thay fixes it.
