As part of our '05's freshening -- after the new engine, suspension, and dubs -- it's getting a pair of new headlight assemblies and an E&G Classics mesh grill. Both of the originals are leaking and full of moisture.
I went out to check to see if we have halogens or HIDs....
A friend has an '05 CTS. He told me once the dealer wanted $400 to replace his headlight bulb because fenderwell liners and grillwork have to come off to get to the modules. I've run into the same issue with front corner marker light modules, but I had hoped the headlight modules were easier to access. I see they are not. No way to get to the bulbs without pulling the modules. That will wait until the grill comes out all at once. In the meantime I'd like to order new assemblies to have them ready.
How can I tell if I have HIDs or halogens? Is there a build sheet-by-VIN service or something that will give me a complete breakdown?
