Headlights fail in the Pacifica due a inherent design flaw in the Power Distribution Box ( black box behind the battery under the hood which also is the fuse box). The problem is the left and right headlight is powered by the box, which cannot handle the load the factory lights put on the system. A new box is approx. $330 from Chrysler which has to programed to your Vin # for the functions and options your car came equipped with. I tried a new box, it worked for a short while only to go bad again. I ended up locating the wire coming out of the box that provides power to either headlight (known as the trigger lead) and created a separate power supply to turn on my lights and switched over to HID lights (kits are available on EBay and easy to install) with the actual power to run the lights from the battery (as well as the ground) and that power being turned on/off by a 12v power auto relay from The Shack, and the trigger lead from the box ( which is 12v but to weak to light the bulb will power the relay because it is a very low power switch). The lights are still turned on/off but the light switch on the steering column, just a more dependable power supply. Don't forget to add a 10amp in-line fuse to protect your electrical system.
