Thanks so much !!!!! I do appreciate it :) Thanks again and hope you are enjoying your weekend :)

They tried to charge me 180 dollars to change the fog lights and low beam headlights. I’m now at auto some buying a T 20 screwdriver to access my low beam lights I already have the fog lights installed all you have to do is reach underneath the front bumper lol

That is awesome !!!! Glad you were able to tackle it !!!!

Now you are a 39 y/o woman who knows something !! And will continue to learn more. Very happy you were able to tackle this and empower yourself :) Have a great weekend :)

That is awesome, you were able to save a few bucks and the headache of getting dealer installed scratches haha !!!!

I know I had to get my hands dirty as well seeing that the new price range is $150.00 and up … I just didn’t feel like spending my money that way gloves on and went to work 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾 Thanks Garage King 👑

Thank you for the great comment !!

Rock on! and that is awesome !!! I have a variety of things I post as a mechanic so you never know what you will see :)

That is awesome to hear and thanks for the comment !!!!

Thanks so much for the great and detailed comment and tip !! Sounds like what can happen to oil filters if your not watching and the ring stays on the engine. Thanks !!!

Thanks for the great comment and you know you got it taken care of !!! You go girl !!!!

Thanks! I have seen a few bulb vids where the creator is stretching the vid, so I wanted to try doing a really short one. Thanks again for the comment :)

Anytime and thanks for the great comment. I do appreciate it !! Hope you enjoyed your weekend :)

@@GarageKing I have a 2015 Terrain and it doesn't have that hole. I was so bummed.. not sure what the difference is. Cool video anyways

Very true! Quick and easy, I tried to make this a very fast vid. I have seen a few change a bulb type vids and they are like 10min long so I want to test this out :) Thanks for the great comment and noticing that I mentioned about not touching the bulb :) Enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)

You could also just get LEDS safer brighter cheaper 🤗

You certainly could, LED’s are a great way to go, less heat and energy and they last. Good suggestion !!!!

Thank you for the great comment !!

Thanks so much for the great comment !!! I love reading these !!

That is awesome and one of the best comments I have read in my few years of Youtubing !!!!!! Very glad to hear !!! Have a great day, and keep on wrenching :) GK

Very sorry to hear about your DAD, 11-11 is recent so I hope you are doing well. Thank you for the very special comment, I do appreciate it. Very moving. Thanks and I'm really happy I could bring some joy and a good memory to you :)

Anytime and glad I could help out !!!

Thanks brother, I sure hope you are right !!!!!!

Thanks so much for the great comment :) I do appreciate it, and really glad you were able to tackle this yourself !!

Thank you so much !!! Really do appreciate that. Also FYI - I am a licenced mechanic so if you ever need a question answered, just leave a comment on any video and I'll get back to you. I have helped out a lot of people with other vehicles. You will see the channel has quite the variety of simple to complex repairs, so I try to make it good for everyone. Happy Friday to you and hope you have a good weekend :)

Thanks so much !!!! I appreciate the great comment. With how to videos on things like this, brakes, and other maintenance I try to do the videos as short as I can because when I search for things I'm the same way :) I don't want to hear someone rambling on forever. As for the oil consumption its a major issue on these vehicles, and there are there are lawsuits against GM in Canada (not sure about other countries) The problem seems to stem from the design in the PCV system where things get plugged up. To keep the PCV operating at full capacity you have to keep the oil vapours that circulate in all gasoline engines as clean as possible. I think to fix it, its a bigger job, as you would have to take the intake manifold off and clean everything, and then install something like a catch can to prevent it from happening again (because it's going to happen again, it's in the design of the engine) While I have not installed one on the Terrian, I have put catch cans on a lot of other vehicles and they purpose of them is too keep oil out of the intake manifold. Some vehicles are worse than others for oil consumption so they are not needed for all engines, but I find the good quality ones do work. I'm a licensed mechanic so I have seen quite a bit, and this KZfaq channel is a hobby for me where I can make some cool videos :) The terrain actually belongs to my friend so if she brings it to me for oil consumption I would make a quick video on it for sure !!! I do have more Terrain footage, I just have to edit and upload, and I like to vary the vehicles every week. Here is a shorter video on catch cans for your general knowledge kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLd1ZNR22baclIU.html Thanks again !!! GK

You are very welcome, and thanks for the comment :)

Thanks so much and appreciate the great comment !!!

I'm sorry to hear that, and I wish you had that access panel as well. Sorry......

Thanks so much for the comment and I appreciate the feedback. I know its tight in there and can you imagine trying to film it !!!! The things I go through to get the proper shots haha !!! Thanks again and enjoy your day :)

@@GarageKing that is a good point! I tried to get my phone flashlight in there and that was quite the struggle, didn’t really help at all. So being able to film it and show the parts clearly was a big help!

@@emorydaniel9084 Thanks again for the comment, you can't say I don't go the extra mile !!! I'm a licenced mechanic and this is way more fun than working at a shop LOL :) and I love the interaction between everyone :) Thanks again, and if you ever need advise on anything just reach out :)

Thank you for the great comment good Sir !!!

Well I'm happy that you got it done and saved a few bucks !! If you became a full time tech you would have no issues working blindsided LOL, we do it all the time :) Glad you got it all fixed up and thanks for the comment :)

Thanks for the great comment !! Much appreciate and glad you found the easy way :) Have a great weekend :)

Thanks so much!!! I didn't expect to do a video on this and I was looking the other week at headlight videos for some strange reason and they were all like 10min?? So I thought, 10 min to change a bulb (well maybe) but to have a 10min vid on it...... So I made a quick vid on it and hope it goes well. Thanks and Happy Friday :)

You are so welcome, and thanks for the great comment you two :) Have a great weekend :)

Thats awesome and glad I could help out !!

Glad you got it done, thanks for the comment, and good to see you saved a few bucks !!!

Thank you for the great comment !!!!

Always handy tips !!!!! I tried to make a quick vid on how to change the light. Was almost a short !!!! Thanks :)

Awesome thank you! I tried to make this one a quick one. Some people we making 10min vids to change a bulb, I'm like what??? GK can do it better haha!!! Thanks :)

Good call, never thought of that, definitely don't want two rings in there !!

Not a hard job, but if its dark outside get someone to hold a flashlight :)

My pleasure!

Thanks for the comment !!!

Ha Ha, the 666th like, love it !!!!! Thanks for the comment !!

Thanks Nish, I wanted to do a real quick video on this. A lot of the vids are like 10min, so I hope this one does well :) Thanks and Happy Friday to you :)

@@GarageKing happy Friday! Nice, sure why not mix it up 😄

Thanks !!!

Thank you for the comment !!

Best detail to note is to turn the wheels facing the inside angle for more clearance to see where the covers are.

Thank you for the great comment !

Thank you for the great comment !!!

That is awesome!!!!! The change on this one is actually pretty quick and you don’t even have to jack up the vehicle. Thanks for the comment !!

Most are pretty simple. A lot of the headlight changing vids on KZfaq are like 10min, so I wanted to take a different approach and see how a quick one would do. Plus you know its good science as eventually the results of different tests get shared on MoneyTree. You are right its the oil from your fingers that cause the bulb to blow. These bulbs get super hot and any oil on them will boil and cause a variation in temperature in the bulb and the unequal temp causes them to blow. Very important not to touch the glass. Thanks for the great comment and happy Friday to you :)

Thank you for the great comment !! Much appreciated :)

Thanks for the vote of approval !!!! Enjoy your day brother !!!

Thanks and I appreciate the comment. The car was my friends car. If I remember correctly you can get the high beams out, you just have to reach a bit more, but it can be done the same way. OK - edit, I just watched the vid, and I'm remembering, I think you can get to the high beam with a little more twisting. If you have at least one high beam working make sure to turn it for a check to locate the right bulb, and then turn off, just so you know you are replacing the right bulb.

I realized that after a few comments, and its too bad GM didn't provide this on all years. They probably wanted to save 2 bucks per vehicle.......

Thank you for the comment :)

You're welcome!

As far as I know it might be the same bulb (low beam is daytime running light), I can't remember to be honest. You said the others were working ok, so maybe take a look at the one side then go to the other. I think its just the one H11 bulb.

Oh boy, you are one of the unlucky ones.... I think some people are pulling the front bumper forward...... That may be a job for the shop if you are not comfortable with that.

For sure !!!

Thank you !!

Love the great comment, thank you !!

@@GarageKing it's TRUE you are great thanks

@@craigmines255 Appreciate that !!!

Thank you for the great comment !!

Thank you, and much appreciated !!!

Thank you for the comment !!!

Thank you for the great comment !!!

I learned that after the video as some commenters came forward and told me. Its too bad that GM changed the design, but I did hear from some others that attempted your style and they said they were able to get to the light by loosening and pulling back the inner fender which is much easier than the bumper. I can't confirm as I never tried it, but figured I would let you know.

Thanks for the comment, 100% on the stubby screwdriver. Believe me if I had one, I would have used one. Thanks again :)

Oh boy, off the top of my head I'm not sure. I think they are different bulbs but can't confirm.

@@GarageKing Thank you sir. I am getting conflicting results when i search. I guess its off to the auto parts store. thanks for the reply.

@@rcarr305 Yup you bet !!

To be honest I'm not sure. Wish I could provide you with an answer.

I used these on my vanagon and love them kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJOgidSI28_Dm4U.html

Thanks

Hey there, I haven't done the high beams, but if you look close in the video, you can see another cover that looks exactly like the one I took out for the low beams. I think it can be done by hand. It's going to be tighter, but it looks doable.

Yessir! Went back after I posted this comment, and saw them there. Definitely gonna be a bit tight but worth a shot. Thanks for replying. Your level of engagement with your audience is very admirable, keep it up!

@@PeakCasual Thanks very much, I do my best !!

Hey Thanks for the comment. Yup I have heard from a few others that GM did away with the access hole in the newer years. Personally I think it was to save a few dollars per vehicle. You have a good idea, and I think the same, if it were me I would try with the inner fender 1st, I would think that's a lot easier than taking off the front bumper !!!

Thanks for the comment brother, I have since learned that, and its too bad they don't !!!!!

Oh boy, you got the hard one. You may have to pull the front bumper back to get in there. If I remember correctly you may be able to get to one side, but the other side is pretty hard.

That is awesome !! Glad you didn't have to pull the bumper forward. I heard some people pulled their bumpers. Thanks for the comment :)

Not sure to be honest with you, they are located higher so I'm not sure if you can reach them. Its an easy check if you take off the cover to see. I would do it, but it was my friends vehicle so I don't have it here.

Thanks for the comment brother, this one is not too bad at all. I recently did one on a newer VW Beetle and that one was fun. Not as easy!!!!

Once you take out that torx screw, you have to turn counter clockwise, and then it should release. My guess is there is a bunch of crud in there. You have to make sure to line up the teeth when you unscrew so you can pull the cover off. If you go a bit too far then the teeth are not lined up to come out.

No problem at all and glad I could be of service

That’s too bad and I wonder why GM would take such a good design and discontinue it. Probably saved a buck a vehicle or something.

My 14 does not have it either

@@GarageKing like everything else... so you take it to them and pay to replace them

@@noro305 That's too bad, not good for GM to do something like that

@@noro305 That's what every manufacturer wants, they don't want people to do it yourself anymore :( Newer vehicles don't break down as much as the older ones, so every chance they get, they want you to bring it in. They design vehicles to discourage the average person from working on them.

Thank you brother !!! I do appreciate it :)

I have heard that from a few people so my guess is GM stopped making that access hole. No one is really sure when it happened. Sorry about that.

@@GarageKing naw I'm glad I came across ur vid which led me to other vids that made it pretty simple. Either way job was done, lot of sweat in my eyes, swearing and brownie points lost to gmc for taking away the access point lol

@@atom0mota Weill I am glad you got it all done !!! Not the easiest job when you you don't have the access port. Thanks for the follow up !!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write and share your story with me. Very touching, and I'm really happy things worked out for your daughter, and you are right, what comes around goes around. Happy Sunday to you :) and glad I was able to be part of the solution !!!

@GarageKing your welcome ... 🙏

@@mv4463 Have a good weekend good Sir !!!!

That's good to know and thank you for sharing that. I wish they had that access hole in them all. Thanks for the comment :)

That is awesome you found the easy way to do it!!! You will save yourself some $$ in the process. It’s easiest if you turn your wheel so it’s out of the way. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your weekend :)

This is a great informative video! I watched a couple of other ones that almost had me doing to much🤷🏾‍♂️ I actually figured it it myself by seeing the round door in the wheel. Easy as 123!!!👍🏾

@@garydickerson5052 Thanks soo much, appreciate the comment !!!

Hey there, if you are talking about the torx screws there are two ways. You take a cut off wheel (faster) or a hacksaw blade (slower) and file a slot in it. Then turn it with a flat head screwdriver. You can wedge a very thin tool under it when you are turning it and that will help when you turn it (in case its stripped into the receiving female end. Or you could take some vise grips, or good pliers, grab the head and twist. The wedge tool (if it turns but does not come out) would be something like this amzn.to/3CPg8dX Sorry about the late reply, just seeing your message now.

@@GarageKing will let you know the results thanks 🙏 for your help

@@darrellegriffin2882 Appreciate the follow up !!!

Not sure what to say, mine was the same on both sides??? You should be able to use the torx screwdriver and take off the access panel on eash side?

You know it :) Thanks for the comment and I enjoyed reading your story !!!!

I have heard that some do not have the panel and I have no idea why GM would have removed such a great feature. Sorry yours does not have the panel, that does suck…..

Good to know, thanks for letting me know. I thought they were all the same, due to the same generation. I do wonder, do you have a special edition or something? I'm also wondering if some 15's have the access panel and some don't?

@@GarageKing Nope, I have a 15 SLE 2

@@DJEddieXZ Copy thanks for letting me know

@@GarageKing Which model do you have?

@@DJEddieXZ It's actually one of my buddies, 2012 SLE. Cool vehicle, I have another few vids on it I still have to pop out.

I think you can do it BUT....... There was a change up, and I'm not sure which year where the access port that I show in the video is no longer there. If that's the case it is more intense. Make sure you have the access hole for the bulb

@@GarageKing well, good thing is I don't need to change the high beam, but I showed this video to my Brother, and he said it's how he changed the low beam years ago. Thank you for posting this, I'll be learning to do this on my own tomorrow 🙂

@@xladonnax8989 Most excellent !!! Good luck with the job, and its great you can same a few bucks. You mentioned its $190 for the bulb, if I remember correctly, the bulbs only cost me about $10 each. Maybe you have HID or LED

@@GarageKing it's a basic low beam H11. The dealership was talking about replacing it from under the hood, and I've seen that be done 3 times, which is a pain in the rear. They're talking about it requiring to remove too many parts, and how complicated it is from under the hood. My guess is they don't know about this. I went to a local parts store, and bought the bulb for $17. I've bought the bulb for about $12 before at Walmart. But yeah it saves me significantly financially.

@@xladonnax8989 Good show, and thanks for the follow up. I thought you meant just the bulb cost that much. All clear now. Enjoy your weekend :)

You know they try !!! Good on you for changing it !!

Hey there and thanks for the comment. I have heard from others that some of the newer ones don't have the access hole. I'm not sure if its model year specific or just depends on the options (who knows what GM is thinking). I would check to see if you have that access hole, and if so do it yourself. If you don't have that access hole then you may want to take it in as I believe you have to pull the front bumper forward.

@@GarageKing thank you for your response. I’ve already done it. It did indeed have the access hole and literally took me like 2 minutes to change. She’s back in business lol. And saved her from Al those shop fees. 😁

@@randyward320 That is awesome, and she owes you one now !!!!

Anytime and glad you didn't have to pull that bumper !!

Good call, a wipe with alcohol usually does the trick !!!

Thanks for letting me. I had heard there may have been something with 2016, but I wasn't sure if it was a trim level (some had the different style). You are right, small hands in this situation really help !!!! Thanks for the comment and hope you are enjoying your day, its almost Friday :)

Hey Thanks for the comment, I have learned that GM stopped make the access hole. I'm not sure exactly when GM stopped. Sorry to hear you have one of the ones without the access hole.
