Passenger side low beam headlight socket continues to burn out. This is a persistent problem with several general motor vehicles! I am amazed how many people mention when I google it. GM has a service bulletin on it. This IS a SAFETY issue! Obviously this is one of the two main lights used 90% of driving at night. Apparently there is a voltage drop according to owners who have checked this out. But what ever it is there is a LOT of people who have this problem on several models and years of GM vehicles. Please check into this safety issue. Thank you!

Right low beam headlight sometimes doesn't light up. Took the vehicle for a bulb replacement and mechanics couldn't figure out why a working bulb failed. Seems to be connected to the airbag, ignition, information panel glitch.
