Low beam, or high beam, which one do you want to replace?

Page 10-49 of your 2011 owner's manual tells you how to change the high-beam headlight bulb or the front parking/turn signal bulb. It also tells you that you should get a dealer to change the low-beam headlight.

I did see the manual but doesn't say anything about the low beam bulb

I have not swaped the DS1 low beam bulb out yet. Only one I have not done. (minus glovebox because I almost never open it)

It should be close to the same as the high beam, access is the same. My opinion is GM is playing CYA due to the high voltage of the HID lights.

What bulbs did you use ? On the high beams ?
Were they plug and play type ? Any problem using the high beams ?

I used some LED bulbs from a vendor that is no longer in business for the high beams and fogs.

The bulbs work great but I don't know if anyone found another source for them.

They were high power Cree LEDs 3 of them on a single side with a built in fan.

No problems so far from them. Though If one goes bad and I can't find a replacement, guess I'll have to go to something else for both.
