    My headlight H11 Bulb went last night but it seems my Bulbs in a socket so u cant get these in Garages,

    Funny thing was that when i put it back on the faulty one again it wouldnt work ,

    but then when i touched it off the car it flickered and came on

    Is it on the way out, did the filaments connect any clues ?

    Clean the connections where the plug connects to the bulb.
    Any corrosion on these will cause issues.
    Replace the bulbs with good branded ones and don't touch the glass when you fit them or localised heat spots can develop and burn the bulb out prematurely.

    If the bulb is still working intermittently it sounds like a earth issue rather than the bulb. Take all the connectors apart and give them a blast of contact cleaner, have a look inside for bad corrosion before cleaning.
