drivers side headlight ghosting

Ive been having an issue with the drivers side headlight coming on by itself thru the night. Switch is off, fog lamp switch is off. I jiggle the headlight (turn-signal) arm & it goes out. Is this a common problem? Just replace the switch? Ideas?

Check out the video in this post. It is most likely your issue. The small contacts in the switch need some attention.

Thank you! It acted up again at work & tonight after I parked it. Its definitely the switch. I jiggled the turn signal (headlight) arm & it went off & on from the drivers side only. I threw it up into the high beam location & tried it again but it didn't repeat. Quick fix until I can pull it apart & clean it up. Thanks for the video!
