BE-400 pilot reported an unsafe gear indication. The reporter states maintenance logs indicate this is a recurring problem with this aircraft.

Narrative

During Visual Approach to land on Runway XX we selected gear down and did not get a green down lock light for the LH main gear. We notified ZZZ Tower and requested and received vectors at 3000 ft. We first tested the annunciation lights and found that the LH main light would test properly but still was not illuminated. I then stabilized the aircraft at less than 150 knots and engaged the autopilot while we conducted the Emergency Landing Gear Extension procedure. The LH main down lock light was still not illuminated; so I briefly reduced the thrust to idle with flaps at 20 degrees and noted that there was no landing gear horn. We advised and advised them that we would need to stop on the runway and would need to be towed. We landed with no incident and came to a stop on the runway while personnel inspected the gear for security. We then secured ground transportation for our 1 passenger and his luggage back to the FBO. After that I phoned the Chief Pilot's office while monitoring the Tower frequency and was advised by Chief Pilot's Office that we could taxi clear of runway. We restarted the LH engine and taxied clear and shut down again in order to receive tow to the FBO. While under tow the LH down lock light came on. Reference maintenance write ups for this aircraft dated Day 0; AML (Aircraft Maintenance Logbook). I am lacking a lot of information in regards to this previous incident involving another crew; but from what I can read in the AML it appears that this is a recurring problem that is not being repaired properly. Given the method of repair noted by the mechanic I would fully expect our Maintenance Control Department to question the mechanic in a manner which would force the mechanic to qualify their repair as a proper repair with solid analysis of the system and not just a made it work for now" fix. I have no knowledge of whether or not this took place; and without access to maintenance manuals I can't even give a proper evaluation of this system and the previous maintenance work; it only appears to me from my very limited information that this previous problem was not fixed properly and as a result has recurred."
