i searched but i just got home from work and am beat so maybe i missed it. i mostly saw threads about the switch.

is there any common or typical reason 1 headlight would burn out?

not sure if it matters, but the turn signal on that side isnt in right now either - the bulb fell into the lamp...

If it's burning out make sure that the lens isn't cracked and water isn't getting in.

Each light socket has an individual ground to the upper radiator support. Pull the ground off and clean the metal and add a dab of dielectric grease before you put it back. Bad grounds can easily blow bulbs.
