Default Right Headlight Went BYE-BYE ? :(

hey guys to make a long story short. just came out of work and saw my right headlight's light bulb burt out. what type of bulb does it take? if i just go to the parts dep of my local dealer they should be able to search the 05 monte carlo ss and be able to find it, correct? i just dont want one headlight being brighter than the other!

its easy to swap right? just pop the hood and unscrew a few things pop off pop in kinda thing?

thanks!

Pop the center close out panel off, pull the 2 white clips on the headlights & swap out, its either 9005 or 9006, low beam will have a painted tip & change em both

I agree change both low beam bulbs at the same time. You should upgrade to the silverstar bulbs if you havent already. Oh and in case you dont know make sure not to touch the glass of the bulb.
