"lazy' headlight takes several minutes to illuminate 200 1982

Car is a 1982 245 GL Diesel wagon with the stock quad-square headlights.

When I turn on the headlights, the right low-beam does not turn on immediately. It stays dark and the "bulb out" light comes on.

After two or three minutes, the headlight comes on and the warning light goes out,.

Is this an indication of a failing headlight, or some other issue?

It has been fine until a few days ago, and now this happens every time I turn on the lights. Ive checked on cold mornings and warm afternoons no difference.

Any thoughts appreciated!
