If the dealer won't cover it completely they might go half on the parts and labor. If you get no satisfaction at the dealer ask to speak to the area GM rep.

Ebay is your friend, at least this time About $50 each.

I don't know what brand the Corvette uses, It's either a Osram or a Philips. You might as well replace both since they possible will be different colors.

$600 for a MB? He got ripped off. I think MB only charges $300 for the bulb.
