Headlight bulb bad connection?

Please help me diagnose a passenger headlight problem on my wife's 2006 SR5. This housing does have a moisture issue during rainy seasons.

We are using Philips H11 bulbs. The driver side works fine with no problems. The passenger keeps losing connection. If I disconnect the bulb and reconnect, it works for a little while. When reconnecting, I tried wiggling back and forth, and it maintains the connection the whole time. Yesterday I added lithium grease to try and increase conductivity, but we just drove 30 miles and it's off again.

I tried searching here but every headlight thread seems geared towards mods and upgrades.

If all attempts failed. try this solution
1. Reseal your leak headlight.
2. Upgrade to HID and use a aftermarket wiring harness Xenon HID Conversion Kit Relay Wiring Harness H1 H8 H9 H11 9005 9006 9140 9145 | eBay , then use the good driver side headlight socket as a trigger to control the headlights.
 
Switched the bulbs between driver and passenger and looks like I had a bad bulb. Haven't had good luck with this brand. Maybe time to upgrade anyway.
