Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
Should Not the Dealer do it under 7 year warranty?
Unless you have damaged it somehow..

Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
First, it's 3/36 bumper to bumper. Second, I bet the owner's manual will tell you.

Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
I don't believe that GM would be that stupid as to require removal of the bumper cover. Sounds totally absurd.

You don't own a 2010, changes made. |

Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
sorry to bring back an old thread but my daughter's 2010 Malibu has a headlight out and would like to know the easiest way to replace it. looked at it real quick and looks like to get to it may have to remove battery box...(driver side)....is that the way to go or do I indeed need to remove the bumper cover? Any help is appreciated.

Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
Thanks, looks like that's the way to go. They also have a video of a 7 yr old doing it.....Still looks to be a pretty stupid design and a lot of work for a headlight. I do my own work on my 2 BMW's and don't have to do this much for a simple fix....

Re: 2010 Malibu headlight
It must be time for 2010 Malibu headlights to start burning out. My ex just had one go out and she just took it to Firestone and paid about $200 to have both replaced. Pulling off the bumper cover is not a complicated thing, but there are like 20 bolts and push pins that have to be removed.
