Ok i tried searching and i couldnt find anything...

anyways my driver side reading light stopped working i figured it was the bulb, so i left it alone...

today i started the car and the light was working again.... then later i started the car again and it wasnt woking again....

Bulb filament is shot. Just replaced one of my bulbs after it started doing what you've described: problem solved.

Dude, the dealership? Go to the autoparts store and grab some replacement bulbs and trash the old ones. It takes less than 5 mins to replace both bulbs. And the bulbs are only a few bucks.
