Anyone else have these issues on Impala? 1. Sometimes when accelerating from a stop I can hear a gurgling coolant sound coming from behind the dash for just a second and then it goes away. I checked the fluid level and it's fine. Any one else ever hear this?
2. One of my headlights has suddenly become full of condensation and looks like crap. I removed a bulb overnight and it dried up but has now returned after putting it back in. Has the light's seal somehow been compromised so I need a new light as the only fix?
3. My wipers are worn out. What's the GM part number for our wiper blades? I want the original equuipment replacements.
Thanks.

2. Maybe there is a small crack in the lens or the seal has been compromised. remove the lens from the housing and clean up the edges. You can run a new bead of silicone to reseal the lens to the housing and reset it. It's an easy fix.
3. If you want OEM wiper blades just walk into the local chevy dealer parts counter.

Hmmmm.... Wouldn't the silicone be visible and how easy is it to take apart?
I was going to order the wipers from gmpartsdirect.com or something so I need a part number.

you won't get those sealed lights apart without baking **** in the oven and everything else.. it's a PITA... just ask BuffaloSS heh...
there is a TSB I believe about the condensation issue... should be able to get it replaced under warranty, if you are still in the warranty period.
as for the wiper blades, here ya go:

I can also hear the gurgling sound when accelerating from a dead stop. This happens to me only when the car is cold for the first few minutes. I have no idea what it is either, but all my fluids are ok.
I dont get #2 tho.

Anyone have this TSB they can post up or have the number? I'm past miles on the warranty but below on years. Maybe I can convince them to do it.

I couldn't find the exact TSB number (yet!), but the Title of it, which I DID find, is:
"OCTOBER 2006 Lighting - Replacement Guidelines for Lamp Condensation"
.

my headlight takes fits when i wash the car doesnt do it all the time but occasionally not enough to worry me
the coolant thing or fluid sound never had that prob
the wipers i went to auto zone and they had oem replacements cheeper than the gm dealer and i think the wipers are better than factory in my opinion
