WTF you headlights!

Y does my front right headlight not turn on sometimes? To turn it on I have to hit it with my hand to turn on. Y does it do that? And it burns out too quick on both headlights(I get the right size and watts)

WTF?

If you have used aftermarket bulbs, especially the blue-coated ones, the connectors may have been damaged from excessive heat. Pull the bulbs and carefully inspect the plugs and connector pins for signs of heat damage.
New connectors with wire pigtails can be found at parts stores and at www.rallylights.com
If you do end up replacing the connectors due to heat damage, prevent a recurrence by using only stock wattage (55W) bulbs of good quality in the future (no Ebay specials, clear glass only).
