Unbelievable that you have to remove the front tire and then undo the fender to replace a headlight bulb. Who is the moron that designed the lighting system on this model? I have always been a GM man but i seriously doubt that i would buy another of their products.

Chevy quoted me $320 to do this.
Replaced 3 headlight bulbs in a little more than 1 year. Problem with replacing bulb......you have to take off front end to change bulb. Last time I changed bulb was 3 weeks ago. Bulb out again. I am not a mechanic or body person so I have to pay someone to change the bulb. Paid someone to take off front end and change the bulb. 1st time was $220, second $180, third time was $180.
This is getting very old. Plus now it looks like something is causing my bulb to burn out. Car is paid for and I love it. It was a gift from my son, but I am tempted ....

It is crazy for a headlight to go out and the whole front bumper has to be remove to change the headlight....How stupid is that!!!! It will cost 105.00 just to have a headlight bulb replacde. That is highway robbery...Are all the cars made like that? If so something like that should be cover. Think about all the people who's headlight go out in their car....It is sad how the company is trying to scam hard working people out of their money...this should be a lawsuit....This is something that should of been told up front and it would of been a deal breaker if I wanted to get the car ...

Tried to replace a burnt out headlight bulb, after working for over three hours, removing front wheel and wheel well covers, removed covers under hood , no luck. Checked owners manual, there is no reference to headlights at all ! Called dealer, the service department quoted me 1.5 hours of labor plus parts per side to replace bulbs. The bumper cover, including the grille need to be removed so you can remove the headlight assembly to access the bulbs. If the dealership does all the lights you are looking at a $300.00 bill !!!
This is criminal that GM would design a car that requires you to go to your dealer and pay over $100 to replace a $10 bulb !!

Just bad design by Chevrolet. Didn't really think it through. Now I probably have to pay $100 to replace a headlight.
