Went over a large pot hole.....

....and now I get the warning light on my dash that one of the rear bulbs on the drivers side isn't working anymore.

The car is a 2001 E46, I have had the light cluster out (nice of BMW to make it so easy to access) and upon touching the bulb it came on again! so I believe the bulb isn't fried, the connector looks to make contact with it all the time, but sometimes the warning light saying it's not working comes on (I have also made sure the wire connector is firmly in and it is.

Is there anything I could do to stop this annoying warning light coming on?

Sorry there were no tales of damaged suspension and cracked alloys.

Give the connectors a good clean with wire wool, make sure the contacts contact tightly. Its obviously a bad connection. All older cars seem to suffer from the same corrosion electrical contact issue with bulbs.

Thanks, I'll check out the connections and give all the connectors a clean too.
