How many bulbs are in a GMCs high and low?
F.Y.I. The high and low is only 1 bulb per side. The GMCs have a shutter that covers the bulb slightly in low mode and when in high mode the shutter moves up out of the way and exposes the whole bulb to shine through the projector lenses. We apologize for this headlight concern you’re experiencing!

Do you need to replace both high and low beams?
Some vehicles use a single bulb for both high and low beams while others do not. If the high beam on the same side is also out, it may be one bulb. You do not need to purchase specific bulbs for each side, but identifying which is the blown out bulb will help you to replace it without having to start the vehicle again.
