This is the Driver side (left) head lamp circuit, you can see both the high and low beam are controlled by the Body Control Module, there is a Technical Service Bulletin for a software update for the BCM due to head lamps flickering. But it doesn't say anything about just one side flashing, but there are some special operations listed in diagram 3, having to do with the Low beam coming on as a default if no input is detected from the head lamp switch or a loss of communications on the CAN bus network, in either case the BCM needs to be checked for any stored trouble codes, it's the module flashing that head lamp for some reason, it might be that the driver (transistor) inside the BCM for that head lamp is starting to fail, another possibility is these circuits are monitored in some cases for excessive current flow or low current flow and the BCM can shut down certain circuits to protect modules. So that might be what's going on here. You mentioned sometimes it stays on and sometimes not, being that it's not both head lamps, the BCM might be trying to turn on that head lamp, detecting something it doesn't like, shutting it down, turning it back on, and you get this strange cycle happening. But really a scan tool checking the BCM is where I would start, to see in live data if anything looks out of place or codes stored.
