Headlight issues
I had had my '09 2LT exactly one week when, while washing, I noticed the drivers' side head light bulb had burst. I took it in the next day, they had to order a bulb, and told me that when it came in it would be a 2-3 hour job as the entire fender would have to come off just to replace this bulb.
Well, I took it back in, they replaced the bulb, and ever since that this particular head light appears cloudy. Maybe not cloudy, but certainly not as clear and sharp as the other. It doesn't seem to be moisture either. Any ideas? I plan on calling them tomorrow with the problem-:confused: |
Sounds like it didn't seal properly, and there is moisture in the lens. Take it back.

It should take less than 5 minutes to change a bulb. The correct way to do it is in the owners manual.
The bumper does need to be taken off to replace the headlights, but it shouldn't take more than 1 hour. |
2-3 hours to replace a bulb!?! Sounds a bit extreme, there are several on this site who have installed aftermarket bulbs, maybe they would share their experience.
The haze you are seeing could be from the gas in the original bulb that burst. Take it back and have them clean it out properly. |
I am thinking the same thing, when the bulb go's bad sometimes it puts a film on the inside of the light!

I changed both my bulbs in less than 30 minutes...no fender removal,lol

To replace the headlamp, turn signal, or parking
lamp bulb: 1. Turn the wheel to access the wheel well. 2. Remove the fasteners to access the headlamp and the turn signal/parking lamp bulbs. 3. Reach in behind the wheel well liner and locate the bulb to be changed. 4. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove. 5. Pull the old bulb out of the socket. 6. Install a new bulb. 7. Reverse Steps 1 through 4 to reinstall This is right out of the owners manual |
I just replaced both my bulbs with brighter ones. You can get to them the way the manual states with no problem. However I found it much easier to remove the front tire first. That just gives you that much more room. Whole thing takes about 10 min. per side.

The dealership has ordered a new headlight for me. I just got a card Sat that it is in and I'll see about installation later today. I'll let you know the turnout-

Glad to hear that they are taking care of your issue.
