Try changing the bulb. The filament might have become detached, and tapping it temporarily reattaches it again.

Also, try cleaning the bulb contacts.

hi mate I had the same problem on a kia, I was forever changing bulbs,so what I did was to switch lights and ingnition off and with a small screwdriver scraped the contacts in the bulb holder, the pins may look good but give a try, plus a new bulb will help.
since then I had no problems.
good luck chap.............
