Sounds like weather/salt? getting in there.  Or if it's the same lamp
all that time, possibly crudded-up terminal on the lamp.  If it's
always the same terminal I'd pull the lamp and clean up that terminal
very thoroughly.

I had a good deal of trouble with terminals on Hella foglights for a
while, combination of heat and weather seepage I think.
