I've had a similar problem off and on with my wife's '03 Passat wagon.
It's the contacts on the connector/cap that holds the bulb in place.
If I remove the bulb, clean the contacts with some emery paper and
replace, all is well again. It only happens on the left side, never
on the right/passenger side. The fix usually lasts for several months
(can't even remember the last time I had to do it) so it's not that big
a deal.
