This is the third time it has happened on this car. Second time, the stealership said they are known to go bad. Is this true? My car is looking like a pirate right now, lol. I might have to go Depo Bix if this keeps happening. Convenient

If you decide to go that route make sure you get someone with a STAR computer to code xenon = present.

I had mine done a few days ago, left side low beam. Hope it lasts longer then yours did

In the last year or so i have replaced the low beam light, side marker bulb as well as a brake bulb.

but the way i see it, as long as it's just bulbs and nothing major i can't complain

There was a TSB for the socket I believe - I had my driver's side replaced while still under warranty, thankfully.

I replaced the side marker bulb once because I side swiped a temp construction hazard What can you do? How long is it to put in Bix? Might get my indy to do it if its a 2-3 hr job.

I think to first time they did replace the bulb gratis. Twice I believe. The socket may be a problem. Will look into it.

My body shop installed mine for $75 and it took less than 2 hours. Trey STAR coded my car to accept them.
