  • 2009 Pontiac G6 GT Coupe driver side headlight is out

    My headlight is out, I replaced the bulb when it first happened and now just a few months later it's out again. It must be wiring but is this something I can fix at home? Don't really want to take it to a mechanic because I'm sure it's an easy fix

    what should I do? as long as it's a relatively easy task I have no issues doing it myself

    More than likely a faulty plug or connection or possibly moisture had gotten into the wiring. id start there i guess

      If it's just a single bulb that keeps going out then check the connector that plugs into the bulb. If it's the hole headlight the look at the contacts on the 5-pin harness that plugs into the chassis harness. I've had to replace both on my G6's. Easy to fix. The bulb harness you can get from a dealer (at least that's where I got mine). The big 5-pin you should just do a search on here and Lampoon has a thread with a website on where to buy them.

        I had this issue constantly for like a year, i fabbed up several connectors without luck. I eventually said screw it and hardwired them together. i havent had any issue since. I would check to make sure the connector isnt getting water into it. you can throw some dielectric grease in the connecter. you can also put some liquid electircal tape around the connteor where the wires come in to prevent water from getting in. G6's are known for this plug failing. I see one eyed G6's all over Des Moines lol

          I ended up buying some HIDs in hope that that would fix it, when replacing them I noticed that one side of the connector was fried. I installed my HIDs anyway and so far have had no issues. My driver side headlight doesn't shine as bright but I guess I'll worry about that when it's warmer again after winter

            If it is the H11 bulb that is not lit, it most likely is the bulb connector has melted from the high heat the bulb puts out. Easy fix. Get on Amazon and buy a High Temp Ceramic Connector by IDD Connect. The cost is ten bucks plus shipping.Cut the old connector out and splice in the new one. Done. You have to use a ceramic connector not a plastic one or you will be doing this repair over and over again. Four years since my repair and still going strong.

                    is this the same part? much cheaper and comes with two, might as well fix both if I'm going to do one

                      It states that it's ceramic so it should be good to go. It is a deal on two of them , so just make sure they are not plastic before you install them. Let us know how they work out for you.
