Re: Stock HID headlights
no one is for reflective housings and the other is for projection...im sure you have D2R bulbs...most dealers get 100 bucks per bulb....are you sure its the bulb and not the ballest?
oh and dont mess with the plugs or anything connected to them when they are on...the high voltage they put out will knock you on your ass...i know i have been there before... |

Re: Stock HID headlights
Would this work
How would i check if its the bulb or ballast? The other morning driving to work, it flickered a few times and then went out completely. |

Re: Stock HID headlights
Envoy's have a D2S bulb. You will have to go to GM and buy the bulb it has a special plug. You may have to buy 2 on account GM changed their bulb color after 2000 so your bulbs color and look wont match.

Re: Stock HID headlights

Re: Stock HID headlights
Do not use a D2R to check bulb pull the headlight you will see if the bulb is bad. |

Re: Stock HID headlights
The Philips number on the outside on mine is 16526104, i took the 2 screws off the big silver box which i am guessing is the ballast, i couldn't figure out how to get the bulb itself out, there were another 2 screws in there, do i need to loosen those or does the bulb pop right out.

Re: Stock HID headlights
If i get the bulb out and get pics, would you be able to figure out if its bad? Awaiting massive snow storm here for the next 2 days, so it won't happen for a few days.

Re: Stock HID headlights
Would these work, 150 a side from gmpartsdirect is a little outrageous
Also what temp is stock gm bulbs in case i only get one. On a side note, anyway to turn off the day time running lights so these bulbs last a little longer. |

Re: Stock HID headlights
i tried twisting it earlier but wasn't sure if that was it, if its not snowing too badly tomorrow i will get it out and take a pic.
Thank you for the info for the DRL, i see no reason to have them turned on during the day Thank you both for all your help, whatever happened to the days when a headlight was 5 bucks and took 5 minutes to change. |

Re: Stock HID headlights
ok i am begining to think that the bulb is not going to come out, could this be a one piece where everything needs replaced.
I called the dealorship here and they tried to sell me the 14.95 bulb and tried to tell me that GM never used HIDs |
