low beam headlight

I was halfway home to Boston from the Fontana Rally when my center (low-beam) bulb failed. I read through the earlier posts on this thread, and decided to bite the bullet (so to speak) and see if an Eastern Virginia dealer could handle it for me. Long story short, Adventure BMW in Chesapeake, VA jumped right on it, and I was in and out in less than an hour. They charged $52.50 for half an hour labor, and $15.64 for the H7 bulb. Also on my bill was $2.63 for shop supplies which maybe was for the Band-Aids for the technician? I dunno...

Anyway, if I didn't have 600 miles to go and a severe weather warning pending, I'd have waited to do this in my garage (with no grandkids present). As it was, kudos to Adventure BMW for their quick work!

FWIW, this RT had been in service for almost exactly one year when the bulb failed with 7550 miles on the ODO. Of course, much of that was on the glass-smooth roads of Massachusetts.

Over $70 to replace a bulb. Ouch!
