Answer
Hi casey:

is this a sunfire? If so the issue is more then likley a bad forward lamp harness. ther are several splices in the head lamp wiring atht go bad the elements wick their way into the wire harness and the splices corrode and either brak the connection to the lamps or caue enough reistance that the day time running light quit working and that is why the lamp is flashin on the dash and the service lamp to come on. the headlamps and daytime running light use the same bulbs and that is why you have an issue with the headlamps as well. good luck :)
