Default problem with headlights.

hi all,
went to see a mate last night, when i came out to go home my main beam on the headlights wouldn't work.
full beam is fine, and so are the side lights on the outer lenses.
its done this once before but i just gave the lights a tap with my hand and they started to work again.
any idea's people??
