My left turn signal, top 4 bulbs are dead, bottom is fine, but they look like bulbs - is the dealer lying to me and saying the "whole asembly needs to be replaced" or can I replace a bulb/fuse/whatever for less than the roughly $400?

I've got the mechanical skills of a chimp, and tools to match, so replies are appreciated, but any DIY is gonna have to be easy.

We tried to help you in your other post, I am not sure if posting again for the same issue is going to give you any different responses.

Actually - after 2 posts, 6+ overly complex You Tube videos, and endlessly searching Google - just got home from the dealer, it WAS just a bulb, not the whole assembly total of $53 bucks including labor.

Appreciate the replies, but sometimes DIY is harder and more expensive than just a 45 minute appointment at a reputable dealer. Home before lunch and not tools or work required.

5 star reveiw for Dick Norris GMC/Buick in Clearwater FL - those guys are straight up no-BS!

Glad you got it worked out and you had a good Dealer experience with a fair price. That seems to be rare these days. Those tail lights seem to be very problematic and usually a new tail light or the soder repair is needed. We try to help based on the information, experience and what others share with the same or similar issues. We all learn from each other and thank you for posting back the resolution. Maybe this will help someone else.

Thanks, it's all good, I probably got lucky and it was just a bulb.

Appreciate all the replies and since my powertrain warranty is about to expire, going to be asking the board for any help making this Truck a bit quicker with a tune and maybe CAI?

But that will obviously be a different thread entirely. Not sure what a CAI will do besides making me sound faster.

Go to the "Performance" section and do some reading on there. Should help you make sound performance decisions. Thats about all the CAI does but it can be used in conjunction with other upgrades. Don't believe what some of the companies advertise as horsepower gains.
