My car has been in the dealer a lot and I hate to go through the hassle again to get it there, has anyone experienced this "Left High Beam Failure"?

I see from your sig that you have SilverStar DRLs so if it's that one that's out, you should be able to easily replace it yourself, but the owners manual provides no replacement info for the xenons and says to have dealer do it. Plus, xenon amps are very expensive, so why wouldn't you want to have it replaced under warranty, right?
How well do the SilverStars match the xenons? Any pix?

I had DRLs and wanted to seee if the Silverstars would look better but i still didnt like it so I had the dealer disable DRLs
I think I have pics somwhere... I might have taken some during the install I'll check.

Coincidence. I just got this 3 days ago with my stock lights at 20k miles and 16 months. I flash to pass often (I guess). I probably flash more to warn of speed traps.
I'll hold off on flashing anyone until the weather gets warmer .... and I can change out the bulb. It is a little short life for an OEM bulb....
