Default headlight bulb replacement, HID

2007 Corvette coupe. Left headlight is now amber instead of white. Dealer says it is an HID bulb. I can do the change myself, just not sure which bulb is correct. Thanks

D1S 35 watt.
Good luck on the change. I could not get the connector off my spare set while working on the work bench. No way to do it on the car. Had the dealership do it for me. Went with Sylvania bulbs from Amazon.

Yes, you can replace the bulbs yourself, and the hard part is not loosing the small screws as you remove and reinstall them.

Simple swap... have to pull the front wheel for access and look for the 2 torx bolts holding it in. Plenty on videos on YouTube. 15-20 min a side

I'll mail you mine for free if you want them. I'm converting over to RadioFlyer 55w HID's.
