HID headlights

I am having the same exact issue with my 1998 Envoy. What did you end up doing to resolve the problem?

I am having the same issue. Can you just replace the bulb? If so how do you get the bulb out. I am able to get to the bulb using a tamper proof bit, but I cannot figure out how to replace just the bulb. I would like to try the bulb from the other headlight that is working just to verify that the bulb is indeed bad. I got a quote of $619.00 for an igniter box and $586.00 for the ballast, in order to replace the bulb plus labor from a GMC dealer.

I would just put in GMC Jimmy head lights in or you can convert it to a 9006 light bulb. i see this is from 2008, but if you need help I know all about them. also, if you want to sell the headlights I will buy them!

Hey guys, surprised that this thread is still active! Anyway, I ended up biting the bullet on this one $180.00. The guy at the shop had pity on me and installed them. Total pain. the headlights are now worth more than the entire car, i believe! Approaching 240,000 miles on this one though. it is a keeper. Good luck. if anyone has other options please post!

I am sorry next time they go out I can fix them way cheaper.
if any one needs help I can set up a eBay exchange to fix them cheaper! I can convert them to a newer HID set up or a lights bulbs 9006/9005.
I also can mail off a kit for $40.00 plus shipping.
you can save a lot of money updating them to a new HID or a simple lights bulbs
there are three ways of making to a simple/cheaper it is all about what you want to do with it.
the GMC Envoy/GMC Jimmy diamond edition headlights where never tested in the real world and all the customers are paying for it and they love selling you high price parts!
with my update you will not spend a lot of money
HID's parts $60.00 for a set and if the HID light bulb goes out it will be $15.00 on eBay.
it is messed up what GM is doing this to people and not helping them out.

Hey David, that is a great option, as far as the conversion kits I shopped around for them when I was having this problem. The issue with the kits is that the mounting screws on the kits do not match the holes on the chassis that the "igniter" sits in, which is then hard-wired to the bulb. So, i think the suggestion about the Jimmy light and housing is probably right on. It would be nice if GM were a little more flexible on the price, but i suppose they need the money these days.

Hello Daviddickinson,
I want to buy this kit to use lamps 9006 on headlight (HID) GMC Envoy 1999.
How do I buy that your kit?

Let me know.
Thanks, Andre

Hi, i have a 1999 GMC Envoy i just bought and i am finding a few things wrong with it, but that is what i get for the price ($995.00) and as is on a dealership. anyway my headlights assemblies are messed up so now i need the headlight assemblies and the right lights for them which i think are 9006 or 9005 bulbs. the ones that are messed up i think are called diamond editions. please help.

Hi, i was trying to get a hold of you about a problem i am having with my 1999 GMC Jimmy/Envoy diamond edition headlights. please help.

I have a pair of Jimmy headlights and I am about to attempt to swap them into my 1998 Envoy. Can you give me any tips on how to accomplish this? Can I use the existing wire harness or do I need to replace that also? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
