Default 2012 ultra Limited Headlight went out

Ok, im riding up a dark 2 lane tonight headed home. Clucking along listening to the request show on the local country music station and watching for suicidal animals. My headlight goes out. Things got real dark, real fast. I flipped it off of bright and all three came on.... Thank the Lord. Flipped it back up on bright to see what would happen... it came back on. No more issues. Couldn't get it to do it again. Now, It's got me worried

Side note: just had my 1k service done today. Also, i rode through some heavy rain on Tuesday. Ive seen some posts about water inside the lights but there is no visibal evidence of that.

Anybody ever experienced any such happening? Suggestions?
