Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 pontiac g6 in november 6, 2009. In the summer of 2010 my passenger side headlight went out. I didn't think anything of it because that happens from time to time. A month or so after replacing it, it went out again. After replacing the bulb 4 times i finally had a mechanic look at it who told me it was the low beam connector that has corroded and needs to be replaced. After replacing that part i didn't experience a bulb outage for 6 months or so. Then one day when walking inside to my home i noticed the runner lights on the front headlights were lit and i could not shut them off. It ended up draining my battery and simultaneously made the passenger side headlight not work again. I took it to the dealership who fixed the runner light issue but told me in order to fix my headlight issue i would need to purchase a new headlight assembly because "it smelled burnt." after going back in forth with them in trying to get them to acknowledge an electrical issue with the car i took the car home with one headlight until a few days later the driver side headlight went out. My high beams work but that is unacceptable to use around traffic. Both low beam headlight bulbs are good but the connectors keep melting and corroding and the dealership will not acknowledge that the issue is bigger than buying headlight assembly's. I also now have some internal dash and control panel lights not working and those also stopped the same time as everything else.
