Why is it, engineers in the car manufacturers design something like this. Its almost like they made a headlight, then the manufacturer says let's build a car around the headlamp. Let's make it to where whoever buys our car will hafta remove the tires, fenders, bumpers, steering column, and both front doors just to get to the burnt out light bulb.

That actually looks fairly easy. There's another Ew Toober that does car repairs from his home. Someone came to him for help in replacing a headlight that went out. I forget but it was one of those high end imported cars. He literally had to take apart most of the body work in the front and finally gave up and told the customer to take it to the dealer. It ended up costing something like $1600 to replace a headlight! I love my old cars.

A little tip. Turn on the lights before you close everything back up just incase the new bulb is busted or isnt plugged in all the way.

Thank you buddy I'm putting new struts on my wife's 2011 traverse her driver side light bulb is out and getting ready to replace it while I have the tire off, seems like it'll be a lot easier with it off and out of the way. Appreciate the video bud.

Yes, tire off will help some. Be sure to support the vehicle properly and be safe. Thanks for watching my vids!

how lame. I really dont care for that style although they sure put off some light. I almost hit a couple moose the other night in the middle of the road that I didnt see till it was almost too late. IM thinking of a light bar or something for safety sake.

Just as bad as the Avalanche bulb replacement. Taking something that should be simple to do, and making it an ordeal. Get a quote on a bulb replacement, it should be a few hundred bucks because of the labour involved
