Yep probably the bulb not seated correctly in the holder. Could be the bulb also damaged so change it to be on the safe side.

It will be one of THREE things:
1. Cheap replacement lamp: buy a decent one.

2. Lamp not seated: seat it properly.
3. Lamp upside down: turn it over.

I don't think it isn't nothing to do with the drop links.They had mine in there for an hour didn't find anything wrong they just said they had re laquered parts.Had a look underneath they have coated parts of the sub frame connected to the chassis.
