Perhaps a short or loose connection somewhere.

I would bet that there is a loose connection, more than likely where the wiring plugs into the headlight assembly. A trip to the dealer is in order, don't want that headlight to go out while there is a LEO around and get stopped. Or worse yet, have some unattractive person think that you are winking at them.

Are you specifically taking about the headlight portion or the LED turn signal/running light?

I know some people don't realize that when the turn signal is activated, the LED running light on the same side is deactivated.

If it's the headlight specifically, it sounds like the other posters have said, a loose connection.

How does the car drive by itself? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Is it the headlight, or the DRL? The headlights won't normally be on in daylight.

If it's the DRL, is it perhaps going off when you use the turn signal? If so, that's normal.
