Bi-xenon lit problem

My problem is that my right Bi-xenon has not lit since last inspection, April last year and its due time in April again.
Last weekend I changed the Ballast but that didn't help.
I know that that the right and left Bi-xenon is connected to each sides electrical fuse box.
Two times the past week my right Bi-xenon has start to lit in the afternoon when I have started at the office to go home, but it's been dead in th mornings.
Yesterday morning I started and the right was dead, I opened the bonnet and did some movements on the passenger fuse/relay central and when the ignition was on and nothing happened but when I switched of the ignition and switched it on again it was working!!!!! some miss contact somewhere.
This morning I did the same but it won't lit!

I need help!!!

Today it worked, I opened the door and turned on the light and all lights where worked.
I don't think it's a igniter problem as it works perfectly when it gets correct signal.

I'll let you know the progress.

Had my inspection yesterday and it passed without any remarks.
I used my magic hands over the front Fuse/Relay boxes and by that I had a working rigtht beam at the inspection.
