Yes I did! I honestly didn't think it was going to be that much or else I wouldn't have had it done at the dealership. Oh well! Nothing I can do about it now...

I just lost the low light on the right side and after replacing with a $12 bulb found it was just a fuse. I am an old timer and did not know headlights are now fused.

I actually checked the fuse doing anything with it, but the fuse was still good.

Sorry, I didn't really think of it. I'll remember you for the next time! Hopefully it won't be that soon. Thanks

Yeah, places really know how to get you on the labor. They told me the bulb was $13.00, it was the labor that racked the price up. Of course, they probably don't rush or anything when they're doing it. They probably take their sweet time for all I know...

I wanted to try it myself, and the thread did help me out. It was good information. Next time I have a headlight out, I won't be visiting the dealer again! What a waste! But I just was afraid I'd end up breaking something with my luck. I didn't want to be without a wheel well if I ended up breaking it off or something. I guess I should try and have more confidence in myself, I'm just kinda nervous when it comes to mods and repairs and that sort of thing.
