    2002 Impala. Why don't headlights turn off?
    The fault is in the head light switch or head light relay. With the head light in the off position Check the voltage at the switch with a volt meter there should be voltage at only one side of the switch , if there voltage is on both sides the switch replace the switch , if there is voltage only on one side replace the head light relay .

    Running lights (parking front & tail lights out) Looked at fuse panel under dash & 3 fuse boxes under hood. Looked at all bulbs. All appear OK. Maybe large fuse under hood? 1 out they're all out?
    If you have head lights, replace the turn signal switch. No head lights replace the head light switch. Could be both.

    My 1989 gmc serra the head lights don't light the road to well is there something I can do ? different type of bulb
    dull head lights cab be from several things
    1-bad reflectors behind the bulbs --any yellowing, rusting or dull reflector surfaces -- replace head light assemblies
    2 badly aligned head lights-- beams shining off into space instead of on the road. --- have an alignment done on the lights
    3 wet roads do not reflect head lights properly so it appears that the lights are not working well--- not much to do. the light reflects forward of the wet surface and not back to the driver
    4 only one head light or no main beams and running on low beams only--- check light operation and check light control module for operation

    The passenger side head head light goes out and the replacement lamp on the dash lights up. After a while the headlight comes back on. I've tried replacing the head light and still experience the same...
    If you have an optional HID lighting kit, check/replace the ballast for the lights. If not, check for a wiring short in the harness somewhere.

    Removing the head light from a 1997 pathfinder
    I replace my head light bulbs recently and it was easy.
    I think that you might have to replace the whole head light assembly in order to replace the glass.
    Hope this helps. I found the answer in the drivers hand book under light bulb replacement.
