While driving through town during the early evening my headlights shut off. I pulled over to the side of the road to determine my options. I tried using the switch (instead of the automatic headlights) to force he headlights to turn on. That did not work. I began to head back toward home to try to determine what went wrong with my car. While driving back home (within a mile of the headlights turning off) my headlights turned back on. About a block or two later the headlights turned off again. Another block or two and the headlights turned back on. I drove to get some dinner and while waiting at the drive-thru the headlights again turned off. A minute or two later the headlights turned back on and stayed on for the drive back home. I wound up driving approximately three miles without knowing if my headlights would stay on or off or if I was in danger of a car fire. I wound up replacing the hdm module.

Coming home from the hospital on I-65, with my mother the low beam headlights suddenly went out we managed to pull over safely but shaken up. After a few minutes the lowbeams came back on. We have had recurring problems with this but never knew when to expect it to happen. We replaced the relay and solved the problem temporarily. The car now has 96000 miles and no low beams. If General Motors don't think this issue is severe enough to do a recall maybe they might respond to a class action lawsuit. Once I decide to sell this car it will be the last Buick I ever own.
Started off low beam head lights would fade in and out then one day I had no low beam head lights at all every shop I take this car to no one has a clue why my low beam lights want work auto or manual.. high beam lights are ok and I have no other electrical problems.
