There was an error message in my display to check passenger low beam. I had the passenger headlamp replaced at a Cadillac dealership at a cost of $369. I left the dealership and drove to my destination during the daylight hours. When I left my destination it had gotten dark and while driving the headlamp stopped working. I have since found out that the seal on the headlamp is no good therefore allowing moisture to develop inside the headlamp which causes the problem. I have found through research that this appears to be a design flaw with this model and many people have had loss of headlights at times when it would pose a safety issue. The repair is very costly (approximately $1400 per headlamp). There is moisture in the drivers side headlamp as well so it stands to reason that it is just a matter of time before that lamp stops working. I only have 73,000 miles on the car and without spending $3000 to rectify the problem, I could find myself with no lights while driving at night. This is in my opinion most definitely a potential safety issue!

Left low beam light warning came on, took it to shop to change bulb, mechanic has changed the bulb, changed the ballast and it still doesnt work, whats the problem with the left light not working?

I own a 2010 Cadillac Srx. The passenger headlamp has accumulated some condensation. As I was reading online this is a known flaw of design for this model (even 2013 models) that GM is aware of. As the holiday approached we traveled out of town. As were were leaving I was told by a family member that might passenger headlamp was inoperable. So my guess was that it was either a safety mechanism that the car will shut the light out to prevent a short or worst a fire. Well it was complete opposite. This morning my local Cadillac dealership has concluded the the known flaw in the headlamp actually shorted out my buld. Now I have received a quote for over $1000++ to replace a flaw in their design. How is this good business" if it is a known issue take care of it right" this is a design flaw, based on numerous Cadillac complaints as well as notes found on this very NHTSA website. In it's current state, the vehicle is not drivable in low visibility conditions or at night because the headlights have failed due to a design flaw. Dealer will not repair under extended warranty, and without repair the vehicle will not even pass a state safety inspection. This is a recall worthy fault which could lead to loss of life if fault occurs in low visibility or night driving, and renders the vehicle unsafe as it will not pass state safety inspection. Please force GM to issue recall on this issue.

The right exterior low beam light was out and the housing unit was full of excessive moisture. On September 2, 2014; bulb replaced; light out again by the end of the month for a week then all of a sudden back on again; then out again and on again; estimated cost of parts were $1,459 plus tax and S.S. now only the running lights on the left and right side are working. Now try 1,459 plus tax and S.S.. times 2. this is a design flaw. Why so much moisture an electrical lightening unit? the left side does not have a lot of moisture and the light is no longer working. Nothing more upsetting than being away from home, its dark and your vehicle headlights will not come on.

Passenger headlight (sealed beam) failed to turn on 2 days ago. I assumed it was a bulb, but the dealer identified it as a short due to water and condensation accumulation inside the housing. The light did come back on for a short time while driving to the dealership, but was off again upon arrival. Dealer stated the other light would be affected soon as well, based on water inside it too. I have the highest level extended warranty plan (GM major guard), but the sealed beam headlights are excluded from this plan. Dealer quoted cost of $1,800 per light, total of $3,600 to repair. This is a design flaw, based on numerous Cadillac complaints as well as notes found on NHTSA. In it's current state, the vehicle is not drivable in low visibility conditions or at night because the headlights have failed due to a design flaw. Dealer will not repair under warranty, and without repair the vehicle will not even pass a state safety inspection. This is a recall worthy fault which could lead to loss of life if fault occurs in low visibility or night driving, and renders the vehicle unsafe as it will not pass state safety inspection. Please force GM to issue recall on this issue. I am currently trying to figure out how to pay almost $4,000 on my $56K vehicle to get it drivable again, when it's under the premiere warranty plan. This policy is unsatisfactory at best.

The headlight has moisture inside of it and will not come on while traveling in the dark. I tried the high beam and it did not respond either. After my vacation I took my vehicle to the dealership in hope of finding out if I needed to change the bulb, but once my entire front end was removed I was told by the dealership that the headlight globe needed to be replaced. I have never been in an accident with my vehicle nor have I received any notification of a defective part for my vehicle. After about a few days the lights came on without any repairs. I have been experiencing the same problem every since the initial black out with my headlights. Again I purchased this vehicle from the dealership Toyota of hattiesburg March 2013. I have yet to be notified of any information regarding this defect with my headlights. I was told by the dealership that the cost of the repair would cost me out of pocket 2,500.
