Dealer installing new headlight on Wed.

[Denali132]

The dealer is going to replace my drivers side headlight on my Escalade next wed. Should I take out my LED DRL's and parking lights? The housing comes alone right, a new HID headlight bulb won't come with it will it? I was thinking it might since the price for the headlight is almost $1000. Does anyone know?

i would take out the bulbs. they will lose them and on new hids i dont know. why do thay have to be changed?

moisture is getting inside the headlight

WOW. For that price I would just buy used Platinum headlights.

Used but A+ condition standard Escalade headlights are $350 on eBay!

thats true Zach but the dealer is putting in a new one at no cost to me. I also found out that I will be getting all new bulbs including the HID bulb with the new housing. I guess that's why its close to $1,000. Do you know for a fact that I will be getting all bulbs also? And will the new HID match my old one or will it be a different color?

It should be the same one, they never changed the color on the HID's. If you are replacing just the housing you may not get replacement bulbs for the parking and DRL's, but the dealer probably has those in stock if that's the case.
