Question Lighting problems... seems to be random

My headlights, foglights, brake lights are shutting off for no reason at all it seems. The weird thing is, it's only happening on the drivers side. The bulbs haven't went out, because they intermittently work.. It's gotta be something electrical, but I have no clue where to start. Any ideas?

I have to find my manuals to get to a schematic but it seems very fishy. First, do the trio go out together or individually? That could be a great clue. I will take a look at the schematics when I get home.

When looking at the schematics, I cant find any common fuse or wire between all of the LH lights as you are stating....

well... the lights seem to be shutting off separately... I guess it "could" be coincidence they are all on the driver side, i just find that hard to believe...

where are you guys getting these "schematics"?

Thanks for looking into this btw

Trust me...the first $100 you should ever spend on any car you own should be these or similar:
