replace the low beam bulb

Hello,

it's easier to change the light bulbs in this car than in a lot of other vehicles. The 2008 pontiac Grand Prix uses separate bulbs for low beams and high beams. The low beams are located on the outer edge of the headlight assemblies while the high beams are located on the inner edge of the assemblies.
To replace the low beam of the headlight bulb You will be in need of these instruments(Soft blanket or towel, Latex gloves, 9006 replacement headlight (low beam)), please follow the steps below:

1. Open the hood to the 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix after making sure the headlight switch is in the off position, and the keys are not in the ignition.
2. Approach the headlight assembly with the spent headlight in it, and locate the retaining bracket (white) holding the assembly to the frame rail of the Grand Prix.
3. Lift the retaining bracket up about a quarter of an inch in order to align the notches of the bracket to the riveted tabs on the frame.
4. Pull the assembly forward away from the front of the car starting with the inner corner of the assembly toward the grill. Keep in mind the wire harness connection is still attached to the assembly, so only pull it far enough to reach behind and disconnect the plug located at the bottom of the assembly.
5. Place the headlight and bulbs assembly lens down onto a soft towel or blanket.
6. Disconnect the respective low beam or high beam wire harness.
7. Turn the plastic base of the headlight counterclockwise a quarter turn to align the retaining tabs with the release notches. Remove the headlight from the headlight assembly.
8. Put on latex gloves before handling the replacement low beam or high beam headlight. Oil from skin will compromise the life of the headlights if it contacts the glass bulb.
9. Insert the new bulb into the assembly by aligning the retaining notches to the release tabs, and then turn the base of the headlight 1/4 clockwise to lock it into the headlight assembly. Reconnect the harness to the headlight.
10. Bring the assembly back to the Grand Prix and reconnect the main wire harness at the bottom of the assembly.
11. Align the guide pins at the back of the assembly to the locating holes in the front frame rail starting with the outer guide pin first and the inner (toward the grill) guide pin last. Lift the assembly upward while pushing back on the lens to push down on the retaining bracket.
12. Place the key in the ignition and turn the key to accessory power.

Hope this helped. Thank You for using FixYa!!!

You have to remove the air intake filter and then kind of reach around up in there to change it. It can be done, but is a lot of work. Then you can just sort of reach in and change both headlights. A very big pain to change a couple of headlights. Make sure not to touch the glass on the light because the oil on your skin can cause it to fail sooner.

Hi, if you have a meter to check the bulb, use it to check the wiring to the socket or wiring for power when light switch is turned on. You should have around 12 volts depending on year and type of truck or auto. If the old bulb was burned, you should have power there. When you turn on switch, the other side should work and you will know you have power and it may just be corroded. Check this and you should find the problem. Please keep me posted on this, I will be around to help you. Please rate me kindly if I have been of help to you.

Look for the left headlight relay to be at fault.

first check the wire make sure low beam power is there if there is power check your low beam fuse if fuse is good check the rely and if that good check head light module make its putting out power and if all that is goo then change you bulb it may be a double filament buld and the low beam side is blown

You should be able to access the buld holder from the rear of the headlight. It's a nylon bulb holder with a lock thing on it. You squeeze the lock part and turn it counterclock wise, and it should come out. Remove the old bulb and install the new one being careful not to touch the glass of the new bulb with bare fingers. The finger print you will leave can cause the bulb to prematurely die on you.

you need to check for power at the low beam wire on the connector on the headlight...need to see if it is getting power...if it is...bad connectore or socket for the buld...if not ...need to chase wiring problems

sounds like the socket for the bulb is bad.
