Change the bulb?! it takes a couple minutes for you to change it. That bulb costs like 0.80$ if that maybe 2$ with tax for a 2 pack. If you don't have the mechanical abilities to change it, bring it to the dealer, if they change the bulb and it still does not work, then bring it to the shop who did your conversion.

But I'm pretty sure it's just an open side marker bulb.

Remember I say this to everyone, you better make sure the shop your bringing your car too understands and knows how to diagnose electrical, because not only can they cause more problems then what's already wrong at your expense, they can also cause long term headaches with poor diagnosing techniques.

Changing the bulb yourself is easy. I actually WANT one of my sidemarker bulbs to blow. This will then be an excuse to change all 4 sidemarker bulbs to LED's (amber for front/red for rear).

It is definitely best to work with a certified GM dealership on this to get it corrected. Please let us know if this is what you decide to do.
