I ASSUMED THAT THE HEADLAMP HAD BLOWN, AND LEFT IT ALONE UNTIL MY STATE INSPECTION WAS DUE, 2 MONTHS LATER. WHEN I FINALLY ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULB, I LEARNED THAT THE BULB WAS FINE, BUT THE HARNESS HAD FAILED, AND MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.CLOSER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP HAD MELTED, WHERE THE WIRES ENTER INTO THE LAMP BASE, AND ARE HELD INTO THE BASE WITH A POURED PLASTIC \"BACKLIGHT\" TYPE SEALER, LIKE THE TYPE SEEN POURED OVER CIRCUIT BOARDS, TO PREVENT TAMPERING. I ACCESSED THAT SOCKET, AND CUT THE FACTORY SOCKET OFF OF THE WIRE HARNESS. I REPLACED THE SOCKET WITH ONE THAT I PURCHASED ONLINE, WHICH WAS OF A MUCH HEAVIER GAUGE THAN THE INFERIOR GAUGE OF WIRE THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. IT IS NOW 1 YEAR LATER, AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAS OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I HOLD THE FACTORY LAMP SOCKET IN MY HAND, AND BEND THE WIRES AT THE SOCKET BASE, THE BULB WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, AS IF THE COPPER WIRE INSIDE THE INSULATION HAS DEGRADED SO SEVERELY THAT A GOOD CONTACT CAN NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED. I HAVE NOT YET ORDERED A REPLACEMENT SOCKET FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND DREAD THE LABOR THAT IS INVOLVED IN REMOVING THE TIRE, DROPPING THE FENDER COWL, CUTTING THE FACTORY HARNESS AWAY FROM THE FACTORY LAMP BASE, AND REWIRING THE NEW LAMP BASE TO THE FACTORY HARNESS.IT IS LABOR INTENSIVE, AND IT IS DANGEROUS. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE HEAT BUILD UP FROM THE BULB, IN COMBINATION WITH THE UNDERSIZED WIRING ENTERING THE BASE, HAS CREATED A MELT HAZARD, WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY ALLOWS MOISTURE INTO THE COPPER STRAND WIRE, ALLOWING THE COPPER TO CORRODE SIGNIFICANTLY, AND ULTIMATELY THE COPPER DISINTEGRATES COMPLETELY, LOSING ITS CONNECTION ALTOGETHER.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2008","productMake":"SATURN","productModel":"OUTLOOK","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
