Default Low Headlamp malfunction

I just recently bought my 2004 525i six months ago. Everything was working then suddenly a couple days ago my headlights does want to work correctly. Sometime it doesn't want to cut on and sometime passenger side comes on so I have to play with the Multi Function Switch or Headlamp Control Module for both of it to work. But when I switch the control off and back on the light driver side turns on and the passenger turn off. Can someone please help

I'm confused, so neither of them work or just the passengers side sometimes doesn't work?

Both of bulbs works but most of the time I turn on the car only passenger side turns on. So I would have mess with the light control by turning it on and off over and over again until i see both of them turn on. Sorry for my English

Get the switch checked or the wiring to the right head light, see if anything is loose.

I will try that as soon as i get home. Will let you know when I'm done. Could It also be the relay? Had couple people saying it might be the relay. I don't think that's what causing the problem but than again I'm still new to the BMW world....
