Ok so here is the scoop....I having been riding my bike day in and day out since the snow was gone...literally riding every day......No issues, nothing.
One night, i come out of Olive Garden with my Fiance, and i turn the bike on, no lights! I gave it a good smack, and they came up....They flickered a little bit on the way home, but we got home safe and sound......
Ever since, its been worse and worse...Sometimes smacking it would work fine, others not....But now im at the point where i can beat on the thing for hours on end, and i cant get any lights......i havnt riden in weeks due to this plus i hadnt had time to fully investigate....
Just wondering if anyone had a similar issue that can guide me along to what to look for, or if anyone can tell me how to properly trouble shoot this...
Just some facts here...

The lights are only a year old. Bought them around August of last year i do believe.
I also noted that smacking the right side had no effect when the lights went out, on smacking the right side was deemed effective.
Just the other morning, i woke up and turned the bike on to see if it was going to work since it was a great day out, and the lights went right on! so i took a quick little joy ride.....i stopped at a park 3 minutes down the road, parked the bike, and went for a little walk. Came back, no lights.....Seems to me something electrical, yes?
Any thoughts, clues, tips, tricks, whatever, is greatly appreciated. I hadnt riden my bike in almost a month and im startin to have withdraw!
Thanks
