Intermittent Low Beam ?

My left low beam will frequently be out, but then later may be fine. I noticed this when I acquired the car a year ago and I replaced both bulbs and that seemed to fix it, but it's back. Since the bulbs are newish, and it does come on, I think I can rule out a fuse or the bulb. Any ideas? Could it be the igniter box?
All help welcome.
Thx MK19

Maybe one of the SAM's? Are there any other issues?

I have always had a Front SAM "Communication Error".......but I'm not sure what that means. No other codes or issues.

I looked at the SAM Error again last night. It's the Left Front SAM and the message is that it's not communicating with the alarm horn. I had seen this before and replaced the alarm horn but that didn't solve it. As I type I remember that I subsequently found the horn fuse blown and I replaced it. I'll check that again.

Additionally, I Found Left Headlight code B2574 "Lamp could not be ignited". I guess I knew that but am not sure what to do about it. Hmmmm??
