Intermittent left headlight

Volkswagen Jetta 2019 R-Line, 1.4L turbo 82750 miles
I have an issue with my left front headlight where the headlight turns on then turns off one second later. The code I have using my Carly scanner is B149C01. This was a gradual decrease in ops capability. It was working as expected then slowly started going in and out. Now it just stays off unless I power cycle the headlamp switch. BTW, I just replaced the headlight switch. I have checked associated fuses and found no issue. Any ideas or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Some folks have suggested headlight replacement, but that is a $700 guess.

Left Headlight Fuse (??)

Volkswagen Jetta 2015 Base S 185863 miles
I've seen so many diagrams and compare them to my fuse box and can't seem to find one thats similar. I have changed everything but the fuse. Per diagrams I've found online it should be what is the empty slot by the blue fuse in the middle row on the right. But mine is empty so how are they even working (my headlights are dim not out, and also brighten and dim and its leisure).
Someone plz help a gal struggling with finances out 🙏🏼

Headlight/heating issue

Volkswagen Jetta 2011 2.5 300000 miles
The drivers side headlight is out. Replace the headlight assembly but the headlight is still out. Need wiring system for it so I can replace whatever is wrong. The heat isn’t working in the passenger side of the car and it is weak on the drivers side.

My low bean lights are not working. I think this is affecting the fog lights too, as they be on 1 by 1 changing from time to time. And now I have a problem with my right day time drive light. What can be the problem?

Could be a blown light bulb. That’s the first thing I’d check then check fuses

Changed the bulb already. Still Not working.

@MichaelWere you able to find out what the issue was ?
I'm having the same problem with my 2017 Jetta GLI Turbo.
Update: Problem Solved, (bad headlight/lamp socket) The socket is plastic, the bulbs get too hot and cause it to melt, warp and crack. YouTube video shows a quick fix that actually worked.

Ya checaste fusibles? tambien las terminales de los conectores de la bateria, cuando no estan bien conectados hace corto, y los fusibles hacen su función, de lo contrario revisa el cableado de la palanca de las luces.
