Default Small yellow led lights not working.. how to fix???

Hey guys. One of my small yellow led light is not working.
It turns on the first time I turn on my head light but if I try to turn the headl ights off and back on, then its dead. How should I fix this? I went to the dealer to fix it, and they said repalce the whole headlight, but I think thats too much!
please give me an idea or advice.

if you take them apart and go into the little board that holds all the led's i am willing to bet that it just needs to be re-soldered.

^its an led, its more likely to be a connection problem than a bulb issue.

Or just don't flick your lights on and off once you have turned them on for the first time. That seems the easiest route to go without spending money or taking apart a headlight.

There's plenty of times I turn my lights off, and then back on. I hate when people park in front of a store or something and leave their headlights on.

Why are they sitting there, just blasting people with their lights? I'm tryna buy some pants here, and I can't see nothin' because of this guys lights!

Jackalopes.

/rant. This happened to me like a week ago, and it was rather annoying

That happened to me once. I just tapped on the headlight a few times and it never happened again.
