USE A MEDIUM SIZE SOCKET 7MM TO UNSCREW THE SCREWS HOLDING THE BACK PLATE. I HEAD TO UNSCREW WITH MY FINGERS AND NO SOCKET WRENCH, JUST TWIST THE SOCKET WITH YOUR FINGERS.

YOU DON'T NEED TO REMOVE THE BUMPER TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM!!!! MOVE THE FUSEBOX AND YOU CAN ACCESS THE BACK PLATE COVERING THE BULBS. YOU CAN ONLY REMOVE THREE OF THE SCREWS HOLDING THE BACK PLATE, BUT YOU CAN TWIST THE BACK PLATE ENOUGH TO ACCESS THE LOW BEAM BULB.

If you are changing the driver side bulb the bumper DOES NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED. Remove the air filter, we did remove the wheel and the shroud in the wheel well, I was able to remove three of the screws, on the forth one I drilled a 3.8 hole to line up with the fourth screw, then removed it using an extension inserted through the hole, the dust cover and replace the bulb. Pu-ting things back together is a snap..ltmeuer@tx.rr.com
thanks for the info. Removing the bumper seemed less of a headache to me than when I tried to do that back when the bulb went out. Also if one bulb goes out people, it might be a good time to replace both as a pair!

I'm just curious.. are the HID bulbs and standard Hallogen bulbs different? I have a 2008 CTS4 with I believe an HID system and today a low-beam went out on the passenger side. I went and picked up some Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's from the auto-parts store, but now I'm beginning to believe that I need a different kind of bulb to work with the stock HID system. These Sylvania's are H11 fitment, but I believe they are Hallogen and not HID. Any help would be appreciated guys! e-mail/comment here.

@ryanoconnor98 those bulbs will definitely look different. My advice is to go to the dealer with the last 8 of your vin and tell them in the service dept. you want a copy of the build sheet. That info should be on there.
