Headlight update

Hello,

Just a little update I called my chevy dealer for a estimate to fix the driver side headlight on my 2014 C7 Z51. Its $275 labor (doesnt seem too bad) and $300 for the part. The $300 part price seems a little high, could just be dealer mark up. Ideas? I think i will do it though, the headlight randomly going off is driving me nuts.

I've done two grill replacement --2nd time, total time 45 minutes. 1 Headlight should take no more than an hour.

Depends what the part is. A bulb, a ballast, whole unit?

I wouldn't bother messing with it for that, and I normally do my own work.

Had the right headlight on my 14 go bad a few months ago. local dealer did this work> $400 labor, $1,365 headlight assembly, $180 for bulb on other side of car which I had replaced at same time... my entire light assembly had to be replaced as a defective bulb burnt the electronics inside the unit...
total cost $1,945 >> Good luck

Thanks, This dealer has done allot of work on my C7 so I feel there pretty up and up but well see. I dont think there is burning or other issue. I really could wait a bit longer but will go for it as I like to night drive.
