Re: '91 735i head light problems
I've had this happen on my car. If you take the bulb out, is the filament broken? If you don't know how to tell, shake the bulb and there shouldn't be anything rattling inside when you do.
If the bulb isn't broken, then something is loose with the connector. I have this happening on my 750, H1 bulbs. When I wriggle the connector, they come on and stay on until I shut them off. Sometimes they come on again after that, sometimes I'll have to give them a wriggle again. If that's the case, then I suspect a bad ground connection, but have not inspected this problem yet myself.
