The right front HID has failed in our SC.
Two local dealers want $473.00 to replace it and an independent will do it for $400.
I'm relatively mechanically inclined, are there any instructions, videos, etc.. on how to drop the front bumper to accomplish this absurd part replacement task?
Thans in advance!

I have a 2005 and I think there is another way to reach the HID other then dropping the bumper. Search forum

I found the "DIY thread" but it seems there are some steps missing for a 2006 and was just looking for clarification.
The bumper drop seems to be the way to go and I have the time to try it.

Bumper loose and bulb out in 45mins.
Not nearly the big deal I thought it would be.
Thanks for the help CL

Is that for just the right or left too.

Once the bumper is off, either side is the same. I would change both to ensure the same brightness.

That's a CRAZY price I took my whole headlight apart in an 1 hours and could of replace both HID. That's a ripoff.

I put a video on YouTube of my bulb replacement in case it is useful for others.

terrific video; super helpful. I wonder if procedure would be same for an '02? thanks for posting this!!

Glad it might help. The service manual entry I used was for an '02 and seemed to apply exactly for my '06. If there are any differences between the two, I didn't see them.

The Blue car is a 2002 and the red is a 2007. I cleaned the lights on the blue car. The red car has never been cleaned and still looks new.
