The low beam headlights keep going out. replaced the bulbs a few times but still keep going out every few weeks. it is hard to know how and when it goes out. it is unsafe to drive with this problem that can happen at night middle of road. it is also extremely difficult and costly to replace bulb each time.
Highbeam headlights did not come rather car is started or not.
My passenger side low beam headlight keep going out. my mechanic has checked everything bulb, wire harness wires everything possible. i have used aftermarket and gm brand parts and have the same issues. the light would sometimes come on when hitting a bump but now nothing. i can no longer depend on my vehicle for night driving. the light would also come on after a few seconds after starting.
