40 yo mom of three here… really appreciated your video, I was able to change out both headlights! No power tools, and was out in the front yard with a headlamp, but got the job done. Thanks again!

Thank you very much. I'm a mechanic and still ill get on KZfaq before I dive into something for the first time. You avoid going too far or taking off crap unnecessarily.

Best video out there on this. It's nice to see someone knowledgeable with a personality walking you thru the steps.Much appreciated.

Considering all you went through, I think I would've bit the bullet & replaced all 4 bulbs while it was apart. Your patience & care amazes me! Love all your videos!

Man you saved me over $500 the stealership must be out of there mind. Followed your video and was able to change the bulb in under a hour. Thanks

It was a great reminder of the 08 that I had previously done this on and rusty bolts are a killer for this septagenerian. I just keep on pushing! Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video, i just so happen to inherit one of these vehicles. You make it look so easy. I was not intimidated at all to change my headlights from halogen to LED bright white. No way I was going to have a dealership charge me an arm and a leg to change these out.

Own '09 cts4. purchased three yrs ago with 77,000 mi, put on 35,000 in three yrs. leaking roof, cleaned twice, never use it, so had it sealed. door locks work intermittently, so being addressed next week.need right rear bearings. code for timing chain, being repaired next week. right rear banging when bumps in road, bushings, back burner. overall, love the car, im 75, so this is my forever car.....this one is black on black, id def buy another, looking at 2012 in sweet red!! thanks for vid...

I do not know what the dealer would have charged but I am sure it would have been in the $500 plus range to replace two bulbs. Thank you for the video, good information showed each step and turned an otherwise very difficult job into one that most people could manage.

That's just ridiculous to go through all that to change a bulb 🤷‍♂️

Great video. My only difference is that I’d replace all 4 since they’re such a pain to do.

Thanks for sharing! Seems like I can do this on my own! And a reason you don’t touch the bulb is because the oils on our skin makes them blow out

Great video brotha! I was able to help my uncle out today thanks to you! 🤙🙏

Thanks for the video. Did my CTS. A bit of moisture from rain was leaking into each headlight chamber. Suggest applying a bead of Permatex 81730 flowable silicone around the clear plastic. That solved the problem. Doing bulbs on another CTS now. Same moisture problem. Will use flowable silicone again.

Great video was able to change out an 08 CTS using this as a guide. However you being able to do both in 12 minutes is super impressive

Man thanks a lot I've got a Cadillac CTS and that's what they told me to you got to pull the whole clip off to change the bulbs and I didn't believe it either I haven't changed my yet or had to but thank you

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🫡👍 I. Also wanted to mention that I installed l.E d's, The connector on the headlight clip doesn't show positive and negative but I came across a Google Q and A And it said that you can't blow L E D's, even if you reversed the polarity and they will work fine. It seems to be ok. Will keep you updated.

I am amazed at how much love you have for your Cadillac and how you repair it so easily. I was going to sell mine (it's exactly the same as yours) but now I plan to keep it. One question: Hasn't it given you major problems? Expensive problems?

Very real video, Great work!!

The reason why you don't want to touch the actual bulb is because they are halogen bulbs which get extremely hot. Any residue left on the bulb (including skin oils) will burn over time and cause residue to build up inside the reflective housing. This build-up will absorb more and more of the light as it literally cooks the reflective surface over time. This decreases the brightness of your headlights over time as less and less reflective surface remains. I know this because it's exactly what happened to my 2010 CTS headlights, which is why I am watching this video, so that I can replace the entire fixtures myself this time instead of taking it to my local shop which must have touched the bulbs when both headlights were replaced a little while ago. My headlights have been getting progressively dimmer since then.

Thanks for this bro. My mom told me both her headlights were out and Cadillac told her she would have to buy a whole new headlight housing for 1,000$ Something told me that didn’t sound right for just a headlight and then BOOM found your page

That bumper should not have fallen off. There are a series of bolts and push rivets that hold the bottom in place. Leaving the bumper down makes access to all of the bolts easier. I have a '14 coupe and have changed the bulbs twice. There is another push rivet underneath that you cannot see and it holds the rubber skirt in place. Also, the square holes (~4:34) are indexed into fender above, use a wide trim tool between the bumper and fender to separate 'em.

Ok so is there one bulb for high/low or two different bulbs? Thanks brother. Love your videos.

Thanks bro you saved the day.

Ayy good looks bro this helped out a lot ‼️

Probably wise to replace all 4 bulbs, each time, due to PIA replacement.

What tools did you use to do this? I want to buy the right things.

What's with the Gloves Son 😋 Nice Ride Dude! 🤟

This was really helpful!

Thank you!

What ever happened to old school where you don't have to dissemble the whole car to change the headlights thank God for 50 mercury

thx

It would have been more entertaining if you got a sawzall and cut the bumper off. 😂

WTAF GM?

So was it just a 7 and a 10 you used ?! Thanks, very helpful video!

hello guys can someone tell me what is the name of the light that is next to the headlight? it comes on only when the fog lights are turned on. Not the fog lights on the bottom of the car. They are part of the headlight assembly. Thank you very much

Are both high and low beams the H11 size bulb?

And I’m worried I’ll break or bend my bumper if I pull to hard

It might be a Cadillac thing with the dual headlights going out because I had one go out shortly after the other one out so I used my brights and one went out shortly after the other one out

Do you know whats the size of the high beam too? Im tryna do led headlight and highbeam too

Replace with leds they will last longer

Hate to tell you, but I just bought two new headlights for $250. If I have to reinstall, they will help the car look brand new, and last another 10 years, rather than replacing bulbs only.

Where in NY are you guys ?

So is it the same for Xenon?

The oil in your fingers makes the bulbs blow.

I can’t believe I paid someone to do that for me over 200 back in 2016

So why didn't you put low beam bulbs in it while it was out?

On my two CTS I do all the lights when I replace my bulbs

That didn’t happen I promise… Woop! 😂

The oils on your finger gets on the bulb it will burn it out

Bo jenkins says you got some parkisons ass hands

don't touch bulb becuz i was told the oil on your hand could make bulb blow up due to high temps they reach.......

whats your Venmo? Your time and knowledge needs to be rewarded.

👍

👍👍

My bumper is caked in dirty inside and at 4:38 my bumper won’t budge like that

Why the fuck do you have to take off the bumper for a headlight bulb?

did you edit out all the swear words?

At Torrance Cadillac they want 1700.00

$525 at the shop...

Wth where’s the girl

Ridiculous, smh

Good reason not to buy a Cadillac

All this time change a headlight? How stupid is that? Love my car and how it looks but this is the worst engineering for headlights I've ever seen.

This was a thoroughly embarrassing video. You're supposed to remove the bumper cover.

I'd consider subbing and watching your videos. but I see you main goal is dragging people to look at the women in all of your screen shots. pimping her for views makes not a great channel. buh bye.

I was hoping you would have had to change the slim light on the side of the assembly.if you know where it's located would you bebso kind to just shoot me a reply??? I haven't been Ble to find it Anywhere on here!!!

Killing me so basically I may as well change out both sides and all the lights at once

So with the other bulb I'm SOL? nobody at all mentions it on KZfaq. I don't need DRLs, I need the headlights like the title says
