I had mine replaced under warranty by the dealer and according to them it is a one hour labor job that requires partial drop of the front bumper. Sounds a little far-fetched. I'd like to hear from others....

i am guessing u have halogens. just get the LED bulbs and do an upgrade :D

lemme know if you would like to upgrade to LED angel eyes. May have error messages after upgrade or simply get a bulb from the nearest car parts store.

All u have to do is open the circular thing, yank the wire out with the bulb, pull the bulb, then swap it. then plug it back in :D
