07 Pontiac G6, 65k. I had an intermittent headlight/dayrunning light but the highbeam worked. Replaced headlight bulb, still had intermittent problem. Replaced the headlamp assembly - still have problem. The new headlamp assembly worked a little on day 1, but has not worked since. Highbeam and direction signal are functional. Looking for suggestions. ---

Can you be more specific? We are guessing that all lights work properly except for one low-beam bulb. Is this correct? ---

Yes. Though after calling a dealer I trust, they have a G6 customer with same problem and it turned out to be the socket. Will have them replace it. Thanks for the reply.
