Congratulations!! Your installation is now complete in your 2013-2022 Chevy Malibu. If you experienced any issues during your installation and unable to complete installation, please contact us for assistance. If the LED bulbs are experiencing any flickering, or error code issues, then load resistors for this application will be required to be installed. These issues occur due to the LEDs low current nature which draws much less current than original stock halogen bulbs.
