THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. SOMETIMES IF I BANG ON THE HEADLIGHT COVER IT WILL POP BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, IN DRIVE, MOVING OR PARKED. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND EVEN ORDERED A REPLACEMENT KIT FROM PONTIAC FOR ONE SIDE. I STILL HAVE THE ISSUES. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER G6'S WITH HEADLIGHTS OUT BEFORE I REALIZED IT WASN'T JUST MY CAR.
