It was only a couple weeks ago when I experienced similar/identical symptoms. Bulbs were only a couple moths old, swapping out the Headlamp Relay and the Orange Relay with those from my Viggen did not solve the intermittent lamp failure issue.
Then I looked at the bulbs again.....
The plastic body holding the bulb push-on connections had failed previously. In an unknown act of carelessness, instead of pushing the bulb connector onto one of the bulb stabs, I had wedged the bulb stab between the connector and the remnants of the plastic body.
The fit was tight enough initially that it worked fine for a couple months. Until it didn't.
Careful insertion of the bulb stab into the connector solved the problem.
