[@madmulligan2892]

This video is three years old, but it guided me through a successful repair. Thanks!

[@erickfunk2557]

Glad it was able to help! Thanks for watching!

[@brandonbrewer1110]

Bought the same one from Oreillys and wasn't sure why there was 3 wires, nor were they. Appreciate the video!

[@erickfunk2557]

Glad it worked. Thanks for watching!

[@aarontyler6599]

This is my forever car in this economy. Thanks needed this

[@JohnPiperBoots]

Outstanding job - those modules are hard to get in and out. I cracked the plastic grill area on one side. Thanks for tutorial!

[@erickfunk2557]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@j.richardmoore5865]

Thanks for taking the time. Can't tell you how many times I have removed my headlight assembly to jiggle the wires around.

[@erickfunk2557]

Thanks for watching.

[@JohnPiperBoots]

YES those modules are hard to get in and out. I cracked the plastic grill area on one side. NOT engineered for efficient access assembly!

[@cgonedfishing]

AcDelcon (soon to be updated) is what I went with. Thanks for the Video!

[@erickfunk2557]

Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

@@erickfunk2557 Spoke to soon, deleting that part number! Ugh… Video helped for sure!

[@Juanderful1972]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@erickfunk2557]

Thanks for watching

[@charlesseibel4014]

Can you use gel caps. Where you slide the wires into the cap and crush with a crimper?

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Charles, I’ve never used them. If it’s something your comfortable using, go ahead and try it.

[@KayKashi]

Ordering the exact ones from AC Delco through Amazon! Thanks!

[@erickfunk2557]

Wavy Kay awesome thanks for watching.

I bought a new connector from Parts Geek for a 2007 G6 and the bundle isn't going on. I'm pretty sure my wire connections I've twisted together solid. I know its not the bulb, I just bought a new one. Coming out of the car are 2 black wires and 1 yellow. The harness I bought online has a white wire and a black. So I wrapped the 2 black wires together and then connected it to my harness black, then connected the yellow to the harness white. Used some grease. Is it possible perhaps I should connect the 2 car blacks to the harness white and the car yellow to the harness black? I don't want to damage the car by hooking up the wrong wires. Thanks.

[@erickfunk2557]

It sounds like you did it correctly. I no longer have this car so I can’t check into it. You may want to check this website as it’s exclusively for G6 owners. You can ask your question on their site. www.g6ownersclub.com/

[@Zspeezzy276]

I followed your video exactly. I got the headlight working, but now my turn signal bulb is no longer working. Tried a new bulb, and nothing. Would you know what went wrong?

[@erickfunk2557]

If you replaced the bulb, maybe a wire was loosened when you were fixing the headlight. You can always test the socket to see if it’s getting voltage.

[@ashleywest5864]

check your fuses

[@Zspeezzy276]

@@erickfunk2557 i found a wire had been pulled out of its place in the connector. I got it working again, thanks for vid and reply

[@Altered-By-Christ]

I wish you were in Pittsburgh PA I need this done and honestly I don't feel confident doing it myself 🤦🏽‍♀️😫🤷🏽‍♀️

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Michelle, reach out to a friend, I’m sure you can find someone to help you. It really isn’t that bad. Good luck 😀

[@Corey-io3yl]

Etna pa here, replacing mine now I’ll report back

[@Corey-io3yl]

It was easy took me about 45 min. Just follow the steps on this video. I used electrical tape instead of the shrink sleeve and I did not use a soldering gun

[@erickfunk2557]

Corey, glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.

[@danielhickman5235]

So I'm having to do this to my 09 g6 on both headlights but the wires on the new connector is red and blue which one do I connect the red to? Would the red go to the yellow and the blue to the black

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Daniel, I no longer have this car. I would ask your question in the G6 forum. They are great at finding solutions. www.g6ownersclub.com/

[@raulvela688]

Would this be the same for the 2008 pontiac torrent

[@erickfunk2557]

I’m not sure if it’s the same but did find this on KZbin with your model. Watch the video and ask any questions you have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rKi2hsqpKAiLssi=WPrVBDxLMfJrM3oZ

[@neal678]

Thanks for the video. My connector replacement set just has 2 black wires though without a purple one.

[@erickfunk2557]

I don’t think the color matters. I would make sure to align them with the old ones you cut.

[@loganjohnson2005]

What about a wing it to connect the wires together?

[@erickfunk2557]

You can use a electrical wing nut if you have them. I usually will put a piece of electrical tape around it too. Thanks for watching.

[@kevin11805]

Does this work for any g6? Or just the v6. I got the base g6 4 cylinder

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Kevin, it should also work on your model. The engines may differ, but the wiring is mostly the same.

[@QweenVictoria]

What is the name of that main wire that connects from the car to the headlight

[@erickfunk2557]

Sorry, I’m not sure what it’s called. Try googling it, I’m sure there’s something out there.

[@ldiazmdiaz]

You mean the "Hardness"

wiring harness

[@morghan1766]

So is tht the same process with all for or just the front lights also how much did all of this cost u do uh know

[@erickfunk2557]

Hello, thanks for watching. This process only works for the front lights. The light pigtails or also called a wiring harness is roughly 20.00 at any auto part store.

[@morghan1766]

@@erickfunk2557 oka thank u so much this rlly helps

[@roamizane1484]

When you take off the headlamp push inwards on the corner instead of fighting the bumper and headlamp. It will not touch the frame when you pull it out.

[@erickfunk2557]

Thanks for the information.

[@alyxharris935]

I've done everything here. Low beam still won't work. Anyone know anything

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Alyx, please try the below forum. They’re pretty knowledgeable about this series car. www.g6ownersclub.com/

[@BIGDADDY5091]

do you find it shorts again often

[@erickfunk2557]

I never had an issue after replacing that lightbulb socket wiring assembly.

[@montariousmccullough7009]

Where the got the wire from and what’s the name of it

[@erickfunk2557]

You can get it at any auto part store.

[@jimpatterson7503]

Nice video. Helped me alot. I used electrical tape and wire caps both. Worked like a charm. Thank you!

Thanks for watching

[@LIT_FUSED]

Big help. Thank you!

[@erickfunk2557]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@dalemihocik4732]

The grease goes on the red ring of the bulb , not on the connector pins . For a more permanent fix use a ceramic connector .

[@erickfunk2557]

Hi Dale, thanks for watching. I was adding dielectric grease to the pins to prevent corrosion.

[@montariousmccullough7009]

You

montarious mccullough - you can get it at any auto part store.
