I have replaced my headlight bulbs at least 12 different times. If I hit a bump it says left low beam out and if I hit another bump it says left high beam out. There have been so many issues with this truck, I have been putting more money in it then what it's worth

Everytime I hit a bump or drive on a bumpy road, the idiot light "Lamp Out" comes on. After figuring out which light was "burnt out" I start to replace it. By just moving the "burnt out" light just a bit, the "Lamp Out" goes out. So, no "burnt out" light. This happens about twice a year. Its more annoying than a problem. Luckily I haven't got pulled over when it decided to act up. Are there any solutions besides the dealership??
