My passenger side head light went out on my 2007 gmc acadia. I took it to the dealer it is not under warranty any longer it has 45,000 miles on it. This will be the 3rd time I've needed my head lights to be replaced and they tell me that the harness is melted. From reading online I seem to not be the only one with this same issue. The dealer told me they will have to let me know how much it will cost to replace.
