Anyone had this problem before?
I check the hardness prongs they have electric current coming out of them might be the ballast under the headlight to change...

I've never had this issue on a 957 but on a 955 it can be, the wiring in the light unit itself, the short wiiring harness, the seating of the light unit at the connector or the main harness in the wing.

Before you start changing expensive parts, make sure the connector is seated well.

That is a known issue. The connector doesn't seat properly, contact isn't made and the lights (some or all) don't work.

Searching "Cayenne Dipped Beam" in the (admittedly lacking) search function on here gave this as the 3rd line down:
