I have a 2006 Trailblazer. bought it used about a year ago.
Two weeks ago, I noticed that the left low beam headlight wasn't working. opened it up to see what was up and found the connector a little toasted on one side.
Not planning on driving this thing for a long time so I put some electrical tape around the plastic and plugged in a new bulb and it worked fine until tonight.
I was driving and had to use my high beams. as I switched from hi beam to low beam to avoid blinding an oncoming driver, I noticed the left low beam kind of flicker and go out.
I haven't had chance to pull everything back apart, but I did switch the relays around (saw another article where this was often the culprit) but it didn't help. Guess I should spend the money and replace the connector , but I'd like to actually fix the root cause of the problem...if I knew what it was. Any ideas?
