Well that's discouraging. I know HID last awhile, but to engineer the car needing to pull the front bumper cover and headlamp assembly to replace the bulb is ludicrous!!

Anyway, I pulled the front bumper last year to replace the A/C Fan, so I guess I can do it again, but didn't really expect to have to go through all that. And it is cold now, so more risk of broken plastic parts, yippee..

It just a part of the new design philosophy. My cousin CTS Cadillac requires removal of the bumper just to replace a headlight bulb so I told her to have them replace all the bulbs since the major cost was the removal of the bumper and refitting the bumper.
