Default Headlight Problem

My 07 is having passenger side low beam headlight problems.
About 6 months ago it went out. One night it would be on and the next it would be off. It didn't act like a regular short, is was either on or
off. My dealer replaced the headlight. It's been ok untill this week.
Now it's out again. Acting the same way. My dealer is now replacing
the balast resistor, he says.
Anyone have this type of problem on the new vettes?:

Wondering if the headlight ballast cured your headlight problem.

Sometimes the plastic connector to the headlamp distorts from heat and may cause a intermitted connection.
