Low beam headlight stop working (both).

- New Lenox, IL, USA

Low beam head lights went out while driving. I pull to the shoulder changed the switch setting from auto to on. This did not help. I drove home on high beams. As I entered the driveway the low beams came back on. This is the second time the lights have gone out only to come back on after a few minutes.

This has happened numerous times. Our headlights will go out at night or anytime. We were almost in an accident on March 24,2012 with myself and my 2 children because of this there was oncoming traffic and I dimmed my light and then everything went black I couldn't see the road and the other car just missed from hitting my vehicle. Please help it is very scary. There has been a time that this happened and then for 3 days afterwards I still didn't have any lights dim or bright.

Low beams intermittently fail at night, then self-restore within a few minutes. High beams work. Already changed the signal arm switch, the headlamp in-dash switch, the relay in the fusebox, both headlamp assemblies. Homestead Chevrolet/Cadillac dealer and various "smart" mechanic shops seem to be outwitted by this one.

- Flint, MI, USA

Low beam headlights have spontaneously failed on several occasions while driving. The problem wasn't first noticed until leaving a well lighted thoroughfare onto an unlighted side street. High beams continued to work, but low beams could not be turned back on. The next day, low beams seemed to work without any problem, but then went off unexpectedly again for no apparent reason. Had to drive home with high beams for the duration of the trip.

I was driving to work in the dark and my headlights went out. This has happened 3 different times. The first 2 times my headlights came back on after a few minutes the 3rd time I had to use my flasher to make it into town. I have the car the shop and they can't find what is wrong with it. They said they have had the car running 2 different times and it has not happened to them.

- Dallas, IA, USA

Driving home at night, the headlights of the car suddenly went out. I remembered reading that this has happened with some one else with the same model car. I turned the high beams on and they worked. The incident has not re-occurred.

- Piedmont, SC, USA

While driving home at night on the highway my headlights went out I tried turning them off and then back on nothing happened so I drove home using my flashers so no one would hit me. Took into the dealer and they checked the car out and the headlights were now working they told me they would not be able to do anything unless it happens when they have it in the repair shop. They stated it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Great response. Since then it has happened three more times the most recent was yesterday. I am able to put my high beams on but while driving it's scary because I am constantly being flashed by cars due to the use of them. My job is 35 min away from home and there are three nights per week that I drive home in the evening and my driving is on the highway which is a major interstate. I'm waiting for the police to pull me over one time for using them. I am contacting the dealership again tomorrow which is Dec 15, 2008.

While driving at night. 40 mph the headlights while on low beam went out. No parking lights, no low beams. Upon getting to the side of the road we discovered that the high-beams still worked. The first time a 12,000 miles it never did it again until last night at 48,000 miles. Again no lows or parking but high beams got us home the next morning all was working.
