ok last night as i was driving, i notice my headlights were playing up like flashing off and on like it has a mine of its own! so i go to check the bulbs and noticed the bulb and plug and a metal peice that holds the buld were hot? and it seems if it touches metal parts it lights up?? any ideas what causes this?
