Parking light on and off

Hi,

One of my parking lights (right) will not come on but when I drive the car for awhile it will turn on itself... does anyone have any idea what causes it? Faulty light bulb or electrical connection?

Thanks!

Need more info... Front or rear parking light and year/model.

I believe all of the G37 parking lights are LED. Either you have a loose connector or maybe the LED assembly is starting to fail.

It could be as simple as a loose bulb filament, try a new bulb.

This, for the cost of them I'd just go ahead and replace bulbs on both sides anyways. Then if it's still happening you at least know it's not a bulb issue. Maybe it's an excuse to upgrade to LED or switchbacks?
