Yes they sell replacement bulbs. But it should be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty

They share the same harness.

You don't need to take the bumper off. The harness plugs are on the back side of the headlight. You can access it from the engine bay

I just changed my bulb today! The Halo and headlight are two separate things. The halo works using an LED and is a lot more complicated, the projection light is just an HID BULB that fits in a harness and has a plug/socket wire. I doubt that it unplugged in your case, it's more likely that they burnt.

If one of the bulb burned, look to see if the other one is changing color or flickering so you can change them both. You might want to take the working bulb off and try it on the other one to see if its just the bulb thats the problem.

Here's how:

Quote:
if you're able to put your hand in, you don't have to take the bumper off. Having small hands here will help I suppose. All you have to do is:

1. Unlock the cap (twist off and remove)
2. Reach in, find and unplug the wire connected to the bulb (it has a small box base)
3. Twist a little "lock" for the bulb, and remove the bulb.


IMPORTANT: 1. Do not touch the HID bulbs at all cost, oils and residue from your hands could make the bulb burn out later. 2. Make sure the bulbs twists correctly in place or they might melt something inside from the heat/touching something.


I unfortunately had 40k miles on my car so I wasn't covered by warranty, the GM HID bulbs are pretty expensive (~$150 each, just the bulb)

Well I brought my car in for the bulb as well as my heated seat which stopped working, and my passenger side speaker, they r replacing them all under warranty, thank goodness, he said that bulb is 300 dollars, that's crazy
