I have a 09 Malibu and had the front passenger side headlight burn out twice. I replaced with LED bulbs and still had the passenger side light fail. I inspected the wiring and noticed that the connector plug for the low beam light was melted. I attempted to just replace the plug, but the auto parts store only sold a two wire plug replacement I needed a three wire. I then purchased the whole wiring harness behind the headlight for $35.00. It replaced the turn signal, side marker, high beam, and low beam plugs. It was not difficult to replace after removing the headlight. GM has poor ground wires and connection points to the body of the vehicle check and replace if needed. I have not had an issue since replacing the wiring.
