So a month after having one headlight replaced... the other one doesn't work now. What's up with these bulbs? And is there a DIY on how to replace the bulb?

TIA!

Doesn't the owner's manual have instructions to do this?

Look in your manual, very easy to change the bulb.

Make sure you check the (connector) contacts.
Our resident Cayenne Grief Counselor and Pig Whisperer just recently posted on this, detailing 2 options:
Mechanically reforming the contacts (i.e. cleaning and bending them)
Replacing the connectors with updated design.

I must admit... I didn't RTFM.

I usually replace headlights in pairs too... just for this reason.

any good recommendations for halogen bulbs? Perhaps the Sylvania's?

The best in my experience is the Osram Power Plus 50. They are available in slightly elevated wattage sizes, which do not require added harnesses and relays to function properly.

Scroll down the page to get to the bulbs.

OEM's from Sunset or Suncoast...
