I have an '02 C2 with this same issue. I've got it for the left front turn signal and right front lowbeam and parking light. My issue is the connection, and I suspect it's the modular plug where the entire headlight assembly engages the plug mounted in the fender. For the turn signal, tweaking and cleaning the bulb contact definitely helped, but for the right side lowbeam and parking light, it's been a shotgun approach. I've cleaned the contacts, both male and female, for the modular plug. I've slightly bent the pins to improve the contact with the plug. I've fiddled and screwed around with it endlessly, and still every now and then I'll go over a bump or something and the headlight will go out. It's very frustrating. Sometimes all I need to do to "fix" it is push down on the headlight assembly. I think it isn't engaging the plug very well. Next step I'm going to try is pulling the headlight assembly and doing something or other to brace up the female side of the modular connector inside the fender well. It's kinda wiggly in there, both fore and aft and up and down. The whole thing is a little plasticky and sloppily engineered, IMHO.
