This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your GMC dealer.
I cannot believe how many times the Headlights have blown since I purchased my 2015 Sierra. Not only do the suck extremely and have been replaced by the Dealer. I have already changed the Passenger Side Headlight twice under warranty. Today the same bulb burnt again just after my MVI. I thought for sure it would be replaced under warranty... HELL NO!! They charged me $92 for new Bulb and replacement.
My Wife drives a 2008 Suzuki SX4 that we NEVER Changed the Bulbs and it has 217000KMS on it. What the Hell GM!! You sell us these Trucks to $55,550 and won't stand behind them..

The headlights on my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 are not only way to dim and impossible to see with at night, they also keep blowing out. I've had the truck for 3 years and have had to replace the bulbs every six months or so. Those bulbs are not inexpensive, very costly in fact. Not to mention how annoying it is to have to keep buying them. I've called GMC to see what they would do about it, but the warranty that covers the lights had just expired and GMC said that it would cost me 80 dollars an hour to figure out why the lights were blowing out. I am not happy with my experience with this truck and as soon as I can, I will be getting rid of it.

This has occurred twice. The first time was in October 2016 when I was about to drive home at dusk. Both headlights blew. I went directly to Canadian Tire and they believed that it was a relay because they never heard of both headlights blowing at the same time. I replaced both headlights and they worked for the next 50,000 km and they blow again but about two weeks apart this time. Each time it cost over $50 a bulb. I have owned plenty of vehicles and I have never had to replace headlights twice within 80,000 km of new. There is a problem!

Dealership was receptive but unfortunately they are controlled by greedy corporate officials. It is a shame that you spend $40,000 to purchase a supposed quality vehicle and then only drive it during the day safely and at night you can't see where you going. They replaced the faulty lights only to find they are only good for 12 months or 12,000 miles before they will replace for free. I have now replaced both (fix)headlights at $50.00 each. When will the consumer come first before greedy corporate leaders .

As well as having headlights with very poor visibility, they are constantly blowing out. I am going broke replacing them. Finally I realized that it must be a more extensive problem, called the dealer, and found out that they want to charge me $115.00 an hour just to look at it. I would rather give the piece of crap truck back.
I have always preferred GM trucks to other makes, but will not buy another one in the future. A truck that costs as much as these do should be of much better quality.
If you're looking for a full size truck, go elsewhere. Or go back to an old truck, you'll have allot less irritation.

Headlight bulbs have been burning every 6 months since vehicle purchase. Going on 4 years I've never change so many headlight bulbs. At $50 each side, it's not cheap! Trying cheap amazon LED's right now to see if they'll last longer.
