DIY about $10-15 (headlight is halogen, I think, these are more costly that the old type)
Mechanic about $20-25
If they both are only bulbs that are bad.

Interior light 2007 saturn vue- when the green light lit on the dash (that indicates the headlights are on)

Auto lamps or manual ?
The headlamps may be turned on 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the ON position, for manual operation. Second, with automatic lamp control ALC, and the headlamp switch placed in the OFF position.
The LH HDLP and RH HDLP fuse in the fuse block - underhood, supply battery positive voltage to both low and high beam lamps at all times. For manual operation , when the headlamp switch is in the ON position, the headlamp switch supplies ground directly to the headlamps and to the body control module (BCM) on the headlamp low or high beam signal circuit, depending on the position of the headlamp dimmer switch. The BCM uses this signal to determine if the conditions are present to illuminate the daytime running lamps or headlamps.
For ALC operation, the BCM receives a signal from the ambient light sensor indicating a low or high ambient (outside) light level. The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the BCM in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. Under the correct conditions the BCM grounds the headlamp relay control circuit energizing the headlamp control relay. The now closed relay supplies ground through the headlamp switch to the headlamps and the BCM on the headlamp low or high beam signal circuit, depending on the position of the headlamp dimmer switch. When the BCM grounds the headlamp relay control circuit, it also grounds the park lamp relay control circuit illuminating the park lamps. The headlamp relay is grounded at G203.
If the engine stalls with the headlamps in the ALC mode under low light conditions, the headlamps will be controlled OFF during cranking.
The conditions necessary for the BCM to activate the ACL mode are as follows:
?€¢
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.


?€¢
The headlamps are in the OFF position.


?€¢
The park brake is released.


?€¢
The BCM is receiving a low light condition from the ambient light sensor, if equipped with RPO T 82.

2008 Saturn aura wont start after trying to put rt.low lowbeam replacement

On the inside of the lid is a diagram .
The headlamps may be turned ON 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position, for normal operation. Second, with the headlamp switch placed in the AUTO position, for automatic lamp control (ALC). During ALC, the headlamps will be OFF in daylight conditions, or low beam operation in low light conditions. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the low beam relay and the high beam relay in the underhood fuse block. When low beam headlamps are requested, the body control module (BCM) supplies ground to the coil side of the low beam relay. This activates the relay and the relay supplies voltage to the left hand low beam headlamp through the LH LOW BEAM fuse and to the right hand low beam headlamp through the RH LOW BEAM fuse. Ground for the left hand low beam headlamp is provided at G101. Ground for the right hand low beam headlamp is provided at G102. When high beam headlamps are requested, the body control module (BCM) supplies ground to the coil side of the high beam relay. This activates the relay and the relay supplies voltage to the left hand high beam headlamp through the LH HIGH BEAM fuse and to the right hand high beam headlamp through the RH HIGH BEAM fuse. Ground for the left hand high beam headlamp is provided at G101. Ground for the right hand high beam headlamp is provided at G102.

2011 Honda CRV. Right brake light is on with headlights; hit brake, left brakelight brightens;right remains dim. Headlamps off, hit brake, only left lamp lights. Bulb works. Is it a fuse problem?

Your right brake light is fried. The fact that you see rear lights on both sides has nothing to do with the fact that the right brake light is out. Your brake lights and rear running lights are not the same bulbs. Go to Advance Auto Parts. They may even replace it for you. Not a big deal.

2004 Saturn low beam lights don't work

Saturn what , ION , VUE , L300 LW300 ? Did you check the fuses ? 2.2 l headlamp relay . The lights are controlled by the BCM - body control module .
The headlamps may be turned ON 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEAD position, for normal operation. Second, with the headlamp switch placed in the AUTO position, during operation in low light conditions.
On vehicles with manual headlamps, the LH HDLP and RH HDLP fuse in the fuse block - underhood, supply battery positive voltage to both low beam lamps and high beam lamps at all times. The low beam and high beam circuits continue through the fuse block - underhood, through the body control module (BCM), and to the headlamp switch. The low beam or high beam circuit then, depending on the position of the dimmer switch, continues through the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, it provides a ground path for the low beam or high beam lamps through G203. The low beam and high beam circuits are monitored by the BCM.
I don't think this is a fuse problem ! more then likely a headlamp switch or dimmer switch or a ground problem or relay if your vehicle has 2.2l engine !

I own a 2004 Saturn Vue. It keeps clicking. My Bf thinks its a hazard relay switch but I can't find one online. I keep hearing a clicking noise. It is not constant noise. It is random. It sometimes stops...

there are two things that cause this clicking noise u hear, one and most common is the hazard flasher relay switch assmbly, they also say in a factory bulletin the turn signal switch on the steering column can cause this, any GM dealer should be able to order these parts for you.

2004 Saturn Ion blinker problem!

Usually when the turnsignal blinks rapid this is a indicator that the turn signal bulbs is blown, you will need to check both the front and rear signal to see which is not working, and then change the blown bulb or bulbs.
