Try cleaning bulb contacts - or replace bulbs with better quality ones (eg Vx or Ring) - NOT Halfords!  ;)

Could be something as simple as a bulb filament breaking then healing again which can happen when the bulb is about to fail. Only to use good quality bulbs is your best bet for long life and reliability. El cheapos are not the same in quality and that is why they are el cheapo.....

Double check the Fog lights and front sidelights just to be sure, and also any towbar wiring, if fitted  :y
