Had this problem 2x with my '02 C4S. Apparently it's fairly common. I did the following and it resolved the problem.

Remove headlight assembly, remove the turn signal bulb holder/socket thingy (sorry for the lack of technical terms).

Locate the contacts in the opening where the socket thingy goes. Carefully bend these contacts so they stick out a bit further.

Reassemble.

That worked for me.
