Hey Guys ,

Huge if you need to replace the headlamp
  • WHEN YOU BUY A “COMPLETE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY” it shows in all the parts catalogs that the DRL and Blinker module is included! ……… BUT IN THE FOOTNOTES IT SAYS IT IS NOT !!
SO IF YOU DON NOT TAKE THE OLD MODULE OFF YOUR CORE THAT WILL BE A $400 mistake not counting labor

I've never heard of a core charge on a new electrical part, only on rebuilt parts
like a starter or alternator. Was your "new" headlight a rebuilt part?

No, brand new part from dealer. It had $125 core charge

Thank you very much for letting us know about that module. That would be one heck of an oversight to make.
