Hey! Surprised no one has commented yet, but thanks for this. My 2019 has the same issue. I thought maybe the inbuilt lens was too fogged up or dirty, but a cleaning with alcohol only made the circle brighter. I've ordered that part. I'll try to remember to post an update once it arrives and I install it.
Woot! Part arrived yesterday, installed it over lunch today. For those that have come across this video, here's a few tips: If you have the towing package (as his Traverse and mine do), remove the access panel from the gray bumper skirt. Remove the skirt's front body-mount screw located between the left tailpipe and the hitch assembly. It'll give the skirt a little more play, giving your hands more room. That needs a T-15. Unscrew the two screws he mentions from the lamp, and slide the old unit out between the front of the skirt and the body. To remove the cable clip (it's delicate): Unlock it by sliding the red tab forward. Put a small-blade flat head under the lever between the new unit and the cable clip. PUSH the connecter, DON'T pull the wires. Reassemble in reverse order, and voila! Whole thing took less than thirty minutes, and most of that time was figuring out how to get my hands in good positions to get the screws out. Thanks again, King!
@@warrenteall6721 I'm fairly hands-on when it comes to home repairs and such, so on a scale of 1=difficult and 5=easy-peasy, I'd give this a 4. I had to look it up and make sure, and you're correct. It's technically the lower bumper cover that I removed the screw from (not called a skirt). You definitely don't need to remove the cover entirely. Just the one screw on the left so it can open up a bigger gap between the body and the cover for more room to work. I have fairly small hands, and I wasn't able to maneuver in there enough to get it out and back in without removing that one screw which was the easiest part of the whole process. If I'd have access to tire stands, it probably would have been a whole lot easier and maybe even not needed to remove that screw. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I just found the notification of your question when I was searching for the order for the lamp (because I want to buy something else from the same supplier.)

@@tonyphillips910how difficult was the install? Can you do it without removing the bumper cover?
