Only cost $800 to repair when they stop working.
My 2011 Cadillac SRX requires the whole nose body assembly to be removed from the car to replace the bulbs.
My headlight on the passenger side went out and I couldn’t believe the amount of work to change a bulb. But I kept looking around until I figured out that I could remove the air box and access the light housing and then remove the back plate and install the bulb. It also has the power motors that turn the headlights when the car turns. I had to make sure I didn’t drop the tiny screws for that assembly, or I would have had a real mess.
But there is still no way to access the driver side light without dropping the nose off the car.
I was quoted anywhere fro 1100 to 1800 to replace a headlight pod on a 2008 car when the lens for the adaptive system busted in the housing. I got a newer car instead of replacing it.
