Noticed last night I have a high beam headlight out on my 2000 Corvette. Big job or not to replace? Shoot me some advice.
thanks

 

I had to change mine about a year ago and from what I remember it was easy. I'm sure there is a thread around here somewhere on it.

 

Here's the procedure from the service manual. The bezel comes off by removing just 3 screws. You can also select the headlights on and then back off to park to turn the lights off. Just dont hang around or the lights will stow after 10 mins. But its a 10 minute job.
