Yes, I get this now and again. The contacts with bulbs are often the issue with mine. A quick dust with wet and dry on the bulb and the light contact and a gentle bend upwards of the contact in the light unit sorts it.

I've got a spare bulb holder for the outer lens - not sure if they're linked electrically with the inner?
