Left low beam headlight stops working on my 87 300D...Any Help?

The problem Ive been having recently on my car is that sometimes the left low beam wont come on when I turn on the lights. at first I thought it was a fuse (#13) all looked well, I still did the proses of twisting all the fuses in their spots to possibly break up any corrosion that might have started. then I changed the fuse (#13) when that didn't work, I figured the bulb was the problem, so I changed it. still didnt work. so I shut my hood, started up the car to leave the auto parts store, turned my lights on and , Hey, what do you know they both worked. I kept my old bulb because I feel that was not the problem. I have also checked the harness connect at the lamp housing, looks fine, also the connects inside the housing look good. It does this to me about once a week now, I always go under the hood and check connects and fuses but find nothing.
when the left light starts working again, it doesnt just all of a sudden turn on by itself while the lights are on.
The lights have to be turned to the OFF position and then turned back ON then both lights might light up
