06 monte carlo low beams going off then coming back on Sign In

 
Hi,
I am having trouble with my low beams on my 06 Carlo. The driver side low beam has been randomly going off for over a year. When the light goes out if I get out of the car and hit it it will most of the time come back on, other times I have to remove the bulb and plug it back in. I have tried replacing the bulb but that didn't solve the problem. Now my passenger side low beam is doing the same thing only not as frequent. I really have no idea what to do, and I don't want to take it to the dealer , I know they will charge me a small fortune.
Notes: The high beams work the fog lights work, there are no other noticeable problems other than the low beams.
Please help!

Have you changed the bulbs yet?

I have changed the drivers side bulb the first time it went off because I thought the bulb was burnt out. The light still goes out. If I hit it or tap the housing it will come back on.

Then you have a bad connection there somewhere.

I took it to a local repair shop and the problem was the connector that the bulb plugs into was burned out, he replaced the plug and so far its working.
