headlight problem by moosie1

The dealer replaced the sensor on top of the dash on my lucerne. It has been over a week and the headlights have not shut off while driving. I think that was the fix. It was quit a process to change it, however, it was under warranty and all is well.

In cold weather my Cadillac DTS right headlight goes off and on. It happens in automatic or manual and can be reinstated by a toggle to either from the other. The dealer says it needs a new headlight ($900.oo plus and not coveredn by extended warrenty). My thought is that it is the high intensity ballast system that is faulty and that should be covered by extended warranty since it is not excluded.

My headlights still turn on while it is still light out side and it was hard to see the instruments. Told the service department about this and they found there is an adjustment they can make to make the instrument panel lights brighter. You still have full control over the brightness.

I also have a 2006 dts the headlights come on ok, but at a bump the right side (passenger) used to fliicker and now goes out. if you turn the headlamp switch manually off and back on it lights for a while until you hit another hard bump and again same thing
 
the dealer stated that must replace the lamp at $288.00 ea
 
seems pretty high and after looking at these postings looks like there should be a recall or some gm considderation

you can buy after market bults - 2 for $70 from www.XerayUSA.com/hid
also amazon has them for a bit more. We have a fleet of cady's and they work
fine. you want d1s bulb. Problem is it takes 3-5 hours labor to change.
if you are doing that, change both sides.
