Thank you on so many levels....worked great and saved me from much embarrassment:

1) from having to go to the dealer for a replacement bulb, and watch the service advisor smirk at me

2) from my wife ridiculing me for not being able to change a light bulb

3) from my brother and father who obviously would have loved to tell the story of the time I took the car into the dealer for a bulb replacement

4) I can't even imagine how terrible it would have been if my buddies found out

In the end "F" GM for not telling me that in the manual.

Thanks again!

I bought a Philips HID conversion kit, and the first day it was working fine. Then a couple days later the driver side bulb went out, I turned off the lights and then back on and that seemed to help. Then the lights started flickering, therefore after reading a lot of things about HID conversion kits, I decided to try the Retrofit Source, the guy I talked to assured me that they were going to work, so I followed his instructions. A day later after I installed them, the lights were flickering like strobes, and then both would turn off. By the time I got home from work, and try to remove the kit, 4 of my LEDs on the DRL (I have 16' Tahoe) went out. I put back the halogen, even though I hate the way they look. I do not know what else to try. I have read every single comment in this thread, and it seems that there is not a single kit that will work. I wonder if there is a way to cut the wire that powers the DRL LEDs. I saw some used headlights on eBay going for $600.00. I was even thinking of buying a new pair, but I am not sure if they are just plug and play.

Go with led bulbs, I had similar issues with the hid and switched to led quite some time ago and have never looked back. The light output is less than hid but much brighter than stock. The appearance is just like hid as far as color and look.

If you do decide to go with led, get the fan less ones...

Subd for this answer too.

Don't feel like dealing with HID issues on my wife's truck. But something has to be done cause the halogens are Horrible.

I am going to give it one more try, I will do a combination of the Philips kit, and parts of the Retrofit source, I will let you guys know how it works. If it fails, I will give a try to the LEDs.

Day 4

Today as I was leaving for work, I unlocked the vehicle and only one of the lights turned on. The driver side did not turn on, by the way this light bulb gets power from the passenger side. I jumped in the vehicle, turned it on, and the light was still off. I turned on and off the lights, and finally at the forth time it came on.
I also received a couple notifications from onStar yesterday about a malfunction on both headlamps. However, yesterday both lights were working fine, so I do not know if those notifications are real time updates. Today, after the incident in the morning, I drove the vehicle a few times for short trips, and the lights work completely fine. I will wait a little longer to see if I have any other issues.
