Default My lights won’t light on one side

I installed some JW Speaker LED replacement headlights several years ago and I was very satisfied. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the right headlight wasn’t on. I disassembled and unplugged and replugged the light and it came on. A few days passed and the light was off again. I repeated the process and made sure I had a sound connection. Again, the light came on and it came on again the next morning. Sadly, it’s not working again and I don’t know why. I hate to buy a replacement and see the same issue and have a $300 bulb on hand! I wish I knew off hand when I bought these replacements but I haven’t found the record yet. After nosing around I see there are capacitors in these LED lights and I wonder if it some how fails when it heats up and unplugging it resets it got a time? Anyone else experienced this or have thoughts? For now I’m going to look for my factory bulbs and see if it will work without issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

Good plan to put back in your OEMs. To narrow down the electrical issue. The last thing you want to do is repair or replace a bad TIPM. And there are a lot of faulty Chrysler TIPMs including mine. I have had to bypass the fuel pump, backup lamps, and horn. All Good
