Fog light question

Ok guys, I have a question. My right or passenger side foglight does not com on when I turn the fog lights on. Now, I can get out of the truck and hit the face of the light with my finger, it will come on. If I switch to brights and then go back, the light will NOT come on, but if I hit a bump or something, it might come on. Can somebody please tell me what the heck is going on? Thanks,

B. Compromised connection to vehicle power.

If it was an intermittent filament or something, then wouldn't it go out possibily after hitting a bump or something. Once it comes on it stays on. Kinda like the other sock in the dryer?

Its a bad connection on the wires, mine did it, remove the wires clean the contacts and check the actuqal wires themselves. mine were burnt. I upgraded the harness. no more problems.

Clean the bulb and the holder and use dielectric grease.
