Yes I think that is what my issue is.

There is a fix but it requires a competent person opening the headlight unit up.
I think there is a write up somewhere, I believe the wires are either too short or cable-tied in a place that reduces the slack.

A new headlight will obviously have the same issue but I suppose at least it would work for a few years before fracturing through use..
