more then likely the wiring underneath the top of the bumper (but ontop of your crash bar) is fubard. with all the abuse it takes (everyday driving, salt, rain, dirt) is getting pretty messed up, mine was.

id start there, and let us know what happens.

Could be anywhere from near the washer tank (hard to access) all the way across the bumper rail. Good luck to ya, they're a whore to find.

youll have to strip all the wire loom off to find the corroded wire.

i had that same problem with my high beams. i drive a 05 sunfire sedan. but... my mechanic gave me a used wiring harness from the same model car, he got it at a local yard.
it shouldnt be too hard to get a hold of, but he tried replacing individual wires befire the whole harness and could only make one high beam work at a time. i think the short in the
circuit made a lot of my other bulbs to burn out so i also had to replace the light for the shifter, reverses lights, and the outter most bulbs on the tails. hope any of this helps...
if its worth anything, one of my highbeams @!#$tered out before the other, and at the same time my DRL stopped working too.
