Does anyone know where to buy replacement headlight bulbs for a 2010 camaro RS. gen5diy.com is out of stock and my dealer told me they could replace it for $1,000 WTF

any help?

Try gmpartsdirect, but it won't be much better. The RS headlights are pricey.

try this place in San Diego DDM Tuning. I have bought numerous HIDs for many vehicles here. Very reasonable...

Looking for used won't do you much good as they're all sold right away, pricey, or have broken tabs. There is an aftermarket replacement too

email or call, I'm sure they can help you out with a single light instead of a pair

Wait a minute? We're they quoting you $1000 for the assemblies or for the bulbs? Is there something I'm missing for replacing bulbs on these cars?

Bulbs only can be bought from most places, classic industries has them about $225 each if I remember right.

Wonder what the difference is for that price

These headlights really bug me. I drove cars with glass headlights for many years, never had one break or get scratched. All new car headlight lenses are ruined within 10K miles. It's a freaking sin, almost as bad as the soft paint system.

They are D2S, I got mine from AMAZON for $35 for two. Get the 6000, they are a little whiter.

Thanks for your replies guys, really helped out. I tried gen5diy but they're out of stock right now. I guess Im going to give the amazon ones a try.

Buy two. If one went out the other isn't far behind.

Are these H13 from WalMart for the non RS camaros of also fit the RS with the HIDs?
