If your car is really low you might have worn through the main harness that extends on the driver's side of the car(on the left in the US, right in Japan obviously). It's underneath the stock fenderliner if you have that, runs right on the top of the wheel well just outboard of the strut. It doesn't take much for the tire to really chew through the wires and do all sorts of nasty things.

My passenger side headlight would also sometimes not come on, but flicking the brights would get it to come on eventually and it'd stay on until I hit a big bump or turn them off. Turned out the headlight switch module on the steering column was worn out. You can either take it apart and clean the contacts, or just get another one that's in better shape and it'll work.
