Headlights?

How do I get the headlights to come on? I know they work at times, but I can’t get the left one to come on now!

Need some details-

What kind of lights does your car have? The regular halogen or the optional xenon?
And what do you mean by “they work at times”? That sounds like they don’t always come on when you turn the switch on.

Is it both or just one side?

It was just the left side, but it’s working now. Sometimes it’s the left, sometimes it’s the right, but they eventually come on.
