Recently I noticed my amber minibulb on my ss was out on the paddenger side. I got the new bulbs and proceeded to replace them, both driver and passenger side. After installing the new bulbs, still my passenger side bulb is out, so I'm narrowing it down to an electrical problem, but Im posting in the hopes someone here might have had this before or knows how to fix it. I took some photos, I hope they help.

 

The socket it bad. Replace the socket.
No need for 56 pictures lol

 

damn that was quick! thanks for the info. Im really at a loss when it comes to cars, but im trying to learn so this is amazing. I was worried Id have to take it somewhere

 

nope.
you can buy a new headlight harness from Bass_waves for like 30 bucks, grab one from any junkyard cobalt, or even cut the socket off and crimp a new one on.

 

The socket went bad on mine, most likely due to the water accumulating in my headlight fixture

 

I'm dealing with this too. Any pointers on where to buy just the socket? I can't find one at any of the local auto parts stores and the dealer is telling me I have to buy the entire housing to just get the harness.

Also, does yours not work at all? If you leave it on auto lights, does it still work?

 

Seriously?

Two posts up I tell you where to buy them.

 

Yes. Seriously.

Just trying to exhaust any other possibilities.

Sent a PM to Bass_waves with no response yet. 45 minutes to the nearest junkyard, and they won't say whether they have the harness or the socket, not even if it has the headlight. And I stated that the local parts stores claim that they can't get the connector.

So where did I go wrong here? Asking to list a specific place that you/he may have found or be able to find the connector? Sorry that we can't all be gurus...

 

I need to check but I should have an extra harness laying around
