To replace the low beam headlight bulb first lift the engine cover and stand directly in front of the headlight assembly requiring replacement. Look to the back of the defective headlight housing and you will see a black cover lid that requires a counterclockwise force to remove. Once removing this lid you will see the back of the headlight bulb assembly. Firmly grip the headlight bulb assembly's stainless clip and turn it counterclockwise and remove through the back lid. Once removed frmly grip the defective bulb, pull gently out, and replace with the new bulb. It is suggested you use cloth gloves to avoid putting grease and other debris on the new bulb. Complete the task by replacing the bulb assembly and the back cover lid.

2003 Pontiac Grand Am brights work but ONE low beam is out ...

You most likely need a new low beam headlight BULB.It has the low and high beam in it and the separate high beam has only high.
You SHOULD have 2 tabs ,one at each end to pull up and the headlight assembly should then come out easily.
Tapping a blown out headlight can reattach the filament for a short time but after that replacement is necessary.

Driver's side low-beam headlight out

Purchase the correct bulb, open your hood, unscrew the white retaining ring behind the non working lamp when loose turn black connection 1/4 turn counter clockwise till tabs line up pull straight back remove old bulb put on rubber gloves or BE CAUTIOUS NOT TO TOUCH NEW BULB GLASS WITH BARE FINGERS. Oils from your hands an cause bulb to heat unevenly and cause new bulb to explode in the headlight assembly
So with gloved hands open new bulb insert follow steps in reverse to reassemble. Happy Motoring
