I know the G6 dash isn't an easy pull but not that hard to do. Neighbor and I replaced and put a small system in his last year. You may see if the wiring on the Hu is not loose or had come unattached due to road vibrations. Be best way to confirm IN Tact wiring/ Illum.wiring may have come loose. I'd try that. Take you about an hour or two all said and done. When pulled you can check the Hu at the battery with extra wiring also to confirm the face bulb may be burnt out as well. Try another reset at battery while testing. What I used to do before setting up test bench in garage for audios
