The regular lights wiil go out while driving, day or night. Sometimes the headlights will not come at all or only one side (driver or passenger side) will come on. I have to often drive around at night using my high-beams. The problem is getting worst, as the lights will not come on for day. Buick service center wants to charge $600 to replace headlights and relays, even though it is a known issue for cars of the same make, model and year.

The headlamp driver module may be overheating or cutting out and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate at random times when car is driving or parked.

I noticed one day when I was driving my lights would not come on just the high beam works but not the low beam so I have to be home before dark because I can not use my lights I know it should be recalled and I should not have to pay for it.

Twice now, my headlights will not illuminate. The first time it rectified itself. This time it has not rectified. The problem occurred when I manually turned off the headlights. I put the car in drive and manually turned them back on and nothing happened. Running lights and high beams do function (14V755000) but I am irritating a lot of drivers with the high beams on. What can I do until this recalled part is available? I have tried to get it serviced at my GM dealer but they have no recall information. So my guess the going to charge me hourly to diagnose a problem that they probably already know about.
