Why in the world would you pay a dealer to change your bulbs? It's easy!

I wouldn't say they are easy either, but it is "do-able" by yourself. Just not something I would like to do more often than about once every 3 or 4 years or so...

Thanks for all the expert advice, guys!

before I went to the dealer i took them over to a buddy who owns a shop, popped the hood and he looked at the lights then went to the computer and looked up the time in a blue book ( i think thats what it is called, automotive and bodywork shops use em) and said .1 and .3 per light. He looked at me and said i better head over to dealership, they may me able to replace them faster then he could.

And only 50 bucks, I was suprised as you are

Maybe I'm missing something. You have to remove the grill and a couple bolts from the headlight assembly itself, but it's nothing a monkey couldn't do. I've done it close to 10 times in the last couple months with all the problems I've had with my HIDs. It only takes like 10 minutes. You can't just reach in and pull out the bulb, but I wouldn't ever pay anyone to do it.
