So just bought the SHO Used. The dealer (On there dime) has to replace the drivers side headlight due to water getting into the housing and shorting out the ballast and control module. They said it was $900+!! Anyone else have tjis problem?!

We've had a couple of members experience water intrusion into the headlights, but no cracking or anything visible.  Most likely it is from the bulb socket area not sealing properly.  Did the dealer say what was the case on yours?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Ok, I guess they can give the old headlight to you since it's not a warranty job.
