Headlamp

Driver side main beam headlamp is out. How much to replace it? My car has extended warranty. Is this covered?

I feel like lights are covered in warranty so I’d try warranty first

Local parts stores are selling the Sylvania OEM bulbs for $140 each!!!

I see them new on Ebay for about $40 a piece!!! Don't know the brands yet. But one outfit offers a 5 year warranty. Trying to get more info now.

I got an extended warranty. The agreement shows all not covered and lists fuses and bulbs.

What is the bulb number???

check these guys: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/2...eb_12660305011

For $99 it looks like you might possibly be able to convert them to LED: https://www.headlightexperts.com/car...sid=0HuzrkTj0o

Anyone know why he is disconnecting the cable at the Bulb housing at 1:05 on the 3rd video? Can't you just go directly to removinf the HID cap and swapping the bulb?
