called dealer and said it was 295.00 for the Hid bulb WTF
is there a replacement for it that is less expensive. I have had the car for a month.

If you have a 2014 then it should be covered under your bumper-to-bumper new car warranty and the dealer should fix for free.

if they don't cover it look online - several dealers ship for instance cheapestgmparts shows it for $154....

Covered under your warranty I would think. check with dealer. If they say it is not covered, call another dealer or call the main number to Chevrolet to ask.

Anyone know how to get to the ballast for the light. is it inside the head lamp assembly? The dealer was crappy about the light so i guess i will figure it out on my own

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-26-2015, 12:22 PM

Sigelitest · 01-26-2015, 12:47 PM

My goodness, you have a brand new car and you won't take it to the dealer! If your dealer that sold you the car won't fix it under warranty take it to another dealer or call GM reps. It's ridiculous for you to spend money for something that's covered under warranty.

You have to remove the front bumper to replace a ballast. Must remove the headlight entirely.

the service manager was a jerk when I took it in and talked to me like I was a moron.
they dont have the parts to do the repair and wont order them till they get the car. they want me to leave it there for 3 days to fix it. one day to test 1 day to order parts and a day to repair. seems stupid over a head light issue.

The bulb shouldn't go out in a month, could be another problem I would let check it out
