Last year, I was pulled over by a police officer for a burned out headlamp. I had it replaced and it burned out again on my 2006 Trailblazer. The mechanic who looked into the issue told me it's a known problem for many gm vehicles, namely an issue with the headlamp driver module. I spent hundreds of dollars to have this fixed. I now see that the there is a recall for certain gm models - including some 06 Trailblazers. However, Chevrolet tells me my VIN # is not included. Obviously, it is an issue & more vehicles should be included.
My lights started going out quite a while ago, for no reason at all. When it first started they would go out for a short period of time, and as time went on I had to revert to using my high beams, because after changing 3 switches, putting new lights in, having the wiring inspected wire by wire, (in surch of a bad wire). The low beams might come on for about 10-15 seconds when I first start my engine, (might) every once in a while, and then that go off and I'm back to using the high beams. I had to adjust my high beams down so I'm able to have lights, without blinding on coming traffic. That means I don't have any "high beams" when I need them. My VIN is not in the recall, yet my lights are doing what many others have been doing. I've been dealing with this for about 5 years if not longer. And it doesn't matter if I'm driving straight, turning a corner or just sitting still, if the lights want to turn off or come back on they'll do what they want, whenever they want. The lights did not work for over 4 months, then all of a sudden they're coming on again for a few moments. They started coming on as I'm coming into my driveway and turning off my high beams. But again just for a few moments. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I'm going it happens from zero to 70+.
Three times while driving my Trailblazer, all lights have gone out. The three times did not happen under similar driving conditions. One was while driving on the expressway at 70 mph, one was while exiting a business route at less than 45 mph, the third was while pulling up to a stoplight. I have learned to use the lighting control knob on the console, turning it to the right and back again until the lights come back on. The part of system causing the issue is unknown to me.
The head lights poor visibility.

Having a problem with the vehicle rpm dropping while idling and the head lights flickering and sometimes shutting off. Check engine light come on and the code said it was the "idle air control valve" it only happens when the ac compressor is engaged. The problem seems to go away when the ac is turned off. Have not not had it repaired yet because it's a fairly expensive part.
The gauge cluster where it shows the cars mileage and if the car is in park, reverse, neutral, or drive. The lighting for this part of the gauge cluster goes out and is not visible at all. This is an issue for years on the Chevrolet Trailblazer and similar vehicles.
My lights dim and flicker along with the dash board instrumentation and the volt meter dips down to around 12. This problem initially occurred about a year ago. It seems to have some sort of short. I called my local auto shop who said he would take a look but doubted he would find the problem since he couldn't with the last one he looked at!! I really enjoy this vehicle and I'm hoping that someone stumbles across the real issue and is able to help me to fix my Trailblazer.
