G6s are bad about the connector to the bulbs getting hat and melting the wires together. 10 bucks for a replacement connector should help you out.

Real interesting... there should be no relation to the "drive" and the head light. current drawn by the starter causes the lights to go out or dim. Check the headlamp relay and for corrosion on connector to lamp assemblies in the engine compartment. On back of assemblies there is a large diameter plastic retainer after you remove the wire clip. Turn counter clockwise and pull back. a wire clip should retain the bulb itself

How do i change head lights on a pontiac g6

Which ever side you are looking to change, you will find an 8 to 10mm bolt. Once you remove that bolt located near the headlight housing, you lift up on the bar that you just took the bolt off of, then once you have the bar up, gently pull out the headlight housing starting from the inside pulling straight out, thats it. Remove the bulb, and replace in reverse order.

I cant figure out how to change my right front blinker bulb on my 2006 Pontiac G6. do you have to take the whole headlight out? Or the front bumper off? lol You can see I dont know where to even start

The headlight assembly must come out (it's part of that unit)
The assembly is removed by removing the three fasteners on top and then gently but firmly pulling the assembly straight out (forward)
You'll see the harness for your blinker in there

Changing the headlight on a 2006 pontiac g6

To replace the headlight bulbs.You need to remove the head light assembly out.The head light assembly is held by 2 to 3 three screws on each side. You need to remove those screws first.The front trim will get loose,the front trim is held by pins.The pins are of plastic and easy to release.Just release this pins and the front trim will get completely loose and can be easily taken off/. The head light assembly is in the front fender.Once the front trim is removed the head light assembly can be easily removed from front fender compartment.If its bit tight there,then you can use a screwdriver to give it a pull towards out.The head light bulbs can now be easily seen as well as easily removed now.Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove the bulb from the bulb assembly. -------- Keep updated for any more queries.Thanks.

How do i change the low beam headlight in my 2006 pontiac g6 gt

There are 2 white retainer clips behind the headlight. Pull these up and out and remove the lamp. Light bulbs are twist and turn pull out and replace without touching the bulb. Open the end that plugs in and use the plastic bulb came in to hold and push in. Replace lamp the same way removed. Place headlight in mount panel and put retainers over the h/l tabs and push down. Do this carefully these are plastic and break east and are about 4.50 each. Thanks
