C5 2003, have owned the car for over a decade and am now working on the lack of headlamp lights at night. I took it for granted (and have heard from others) the light system on it is poor so I upgraded to GE Xenon
Night Hawks--- low and high beam. When I first bought the car, used with 900 miles, I flew out to Atlanta and drove home to California. I noticed while driving at night, light was
escaping from the HL bezel of the R HL. Sitting in the drivers seat, I could see light coming out between the HL door and bezel on the left side of the R HL. While changing the bulbs I looked into why the R bezel was bowed--- on the hood side. The HL's are aimed towards the ground perhaps 6 feet out on low beam, thus interfering with the HL bezel on the R side! The R bezel is stuck, hitting the bottom of the HL glass-- causing it to bow.
Did GM ever issue a notice of this or has anyone else discovered this on their '03?
