#23 of 29 New bulb problem by curran85 Mar 03, 2009 (2:07 pm)
i own a 2000 sunfire GT and i put in high end replacement bulbs. yet when i installed them they are by far brighter than the stock ones but they cause my service light to apear. as well as that when i turn on the high beams only the passenger side lights work. Im thinking this is due to the larger wattage of the bulbs, which would mean that when they are in high beams there is only enough power to activate one bulb.

I had posted previously (but I don't see my entry - so here's a recap) that my 01 sunfire headlights would flash on and off quickly about ten times every time I started my car and also when I turned off the engine. The dims and the daylamps of course would not work either - only my highbeams would come on. Well, slackerman's 6/20 comment got me to checking out my bulbs as the fuse was fine. So I purchased new bulb set and took it to the oil change guys. They charged me $5 to put in the bulbs; what a deal b/c it took two guys about 20 minutes to change them. The little plastic clips that cover that front area were "delicate" and a pain to pop out. I failed to have them wipe out the inside of my plastic headlamp cover, oh well. The bulbs worked. My daylamps came on like always. The man said that I had a gliche in my left dim light, which had went out first. Since both dim lights are on the same circuit, this caused on overload and my right dim went out a week later, like slackerman said. The high beams are on a different circuit so they were fine. Ta-da. I was expecting something more expensive to be wrong, but this was taken care of for less than $30! Cool. Replies to this message: slackerman (Mar 19, 2009 11:34 am)

#27 of 29 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. Driver's side low beam headlight doesn't work. by xxmoboxx Jun 22, 2009 (10:32 am)
My low beam headlight on the driver side stopped working so I replaced the bulb which didn't work (the original bulb looked fine) I checked my fuses, they're all fine. when I didn't have my lights on the low beam that works flashes and the car clicks as if I have my turn signal on. What might the problem be? Replies to this message: tarheeltom (Sep 29, 2009 10:23 am)

Replying to: peaches9 (May 17, 2007 3:49 pm) I work in a parts store...9 times out of 10 one head light was already burned out and no one noticed untill the other light died. Sounds like a faulty daytime running light box or relay.But I'd check all the ground connections first.

Replying to: xxmoboxx (Jun 22, 2009 10:32 am) If I understand your question, you have a headlight blinking, and are hearing a clicking sound.   This is, quite likely, an overloaded circuit breaker.   Headlight bulbs are usually protected by circuit breakers rather than by fuses. These circuit breakers reset after a brief cool-down period.   You probably need to take this car to a competent auto-electric shop and have them look at it. I'm guessing that this is a wiring problem.   Tom
