I have a 2006 Pontiac G6. When I walk up to the vehicle and unlock it, the headlights turn on.

After I get into the vehicle and turn it over, I cannot turn the headlights back on. Fog beams and turn signals work fine, but I can't turn the low beams back on.

What could cause a vehicle's headlights to only be faulty after starting?

Edit: I should mention I can turn my brights on, but regular headlights (low beams) are non-functional.

Turns out what went wrong was my car was turning on the brights (highs) when I would go to unlock it, and the regular (lows) headlights were never working. I thought the car was turning on the lows when I went to unlock it. New bulbs fixed the problem.

Little anecdote: I was extra perplexed when I was pulled over at night for driving using my fog lights, showed the cop what I described and he had no clue what was up.
