Hi -- Make sure your headlights are fully seated. You press the light housing in with considerable force and tighten the locking bolt until you hear a "clunk" which sounds somewhat disconcerting -- almost like a cracking plastic noise. You can search this forum for more detail on headlight seating/mounting and un-mounting.

You should also check the headlight bracket(s). They frequently become loose over time. It has two 10mm bolts that need to be tightened every now and then to secure the bracket. Once they are tight, seat the headlight assembly as mentioned above and you should be okay. I had some connectivity issues in the past, especially when it rained. I treated my contacts with some di-electric grease and that took care of the problem.
