I have the car listed above it is the LSi model with headlight problem. I can turn my car on and my daytime running lights come on just for a few minutes and then go off, but I have parking lights, backup lights, brake lights and turn signals, but no night lights. I have changed my halogen bulbs and light switch also checked my fuses. Any ideas?

Hello,

This sounds like the DRL control module is going out but to be sure here are the headlight wiring diagrams and a guide to check for power with the module location as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find.

He needs to check both boxes underhood as both have fuses and relays. Then you need to see if the turn signal switch is getting power and putting power through it to headlights. Finally make sure the bulbs are good in the headlights. And see ifyour bright lights work as well.
