Theres a special place in hell for the Chevy engineers that designed this mess.

[@sirjer73]

No doubt I have owned a 2002, 2006, and now a 2015 Silverado. The old ones had the pullout pins for access to the headlight housing. So much easier!!!!

[@GrouchoTM]

@@sirjer73 yep! I ain't liking it now!

[@Marty48034]

Well done. The airbox side headlight is why I'm here. Very good camera angles. Very easy to follow. Best I've seen. Thank you.

[@randomthoughtstoday]

I own a 2014 Chevy Silverado and years before it was much easier to do a small light bulb change they made it so difficult nowadays it's horrible and I want to thank you sir for this video

[@1AAuto]

+Ch Ha Thank you for your feedback! We are happy we could help.

[@TheBucktrot1]

They made it where the dealership They can charge an hour to replace a simple lightbulb! Just another way to separate the owners from their money. Makes me angry at Chevrolet.

[@clives6197]

I know it’s just a lightbulb essentially but I really felt a great of accomplishment when I changed them out. Thank you bro. Sincerely.

[@jackl.j5197]

Awesome tutorial, I just changed mine only took a half hour, the dealer wanted $180.00. Thank you!

[@dalemackenzie2187]

I've watched other videos and everyone else always makes it look more difficult to do these little do it yourself projects. A1 videos are the best.

[@terrymoses7548]

My owners manual said I had to have the headlight bulbs replaced by the dealer. This video just saved me a huge expense, and probably a week of the truck being in the shop! Many thanks.

[@MindfulMusic]

Replaced mine with 6500K white LED bulbs. Way better than factory.

[@santiagosanchez2185]

What’s the name of them or did you got them online

[@irishgrizlybear9282]

I know the guy who replaced the bulbs in this video! I worked at a gas station a while back and he would always pull up late at night with this old decked out golf. He also had a keep he would go off-roading with a lot of the time, till he blew up the diff one too many times. Keep up the great work!

[@TryMyMartini]

You rock so much! I'm a girl with no tools (I will fix that situation) and by following your video, I did the whole thing with the Leatherman that my brother gave me. Edit: By the way, the radiator shroud was missing. Is that something I need to replace soon? I didn't even know it existed until I needed a headlight bulb replacement and watched this video.

[@davidfromtexas9681]

Brilliant! My headlight went out in my 2015 Silverado and I followed along and was able to change it out in under 30 minutes. Much appreciated!!!

[@chuckearp9034]

Before all this BS, it took less then a minute

[@phillippaiz3479]

They post the passenger side. What about the drivers side. That’s the b one

[@safwsu639]

@@phillippaiz3479 Driver sure is easier but not by much. Don’t have to remove anything.

[@sluggmom]

He has such a nonchalant tone, I really do believe it will be this easy ❤️ thanks for the confidence

[@wurly164]

Great video, don’t touch the halogen builds with bare fingers the oil from your hand will shorten the life of the bulb.

[@fetuaolaulu8066]

Thank you!! Just got done changing my truck bulb & I used this vid the WHOLE TIME!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 It took me longer than your video but I got it DONE! 😃😃

[@jeffhumphrey979]

Great video. It took me 45 minutes to change both sides.

[@1AAuto]

+jeff humphrey Thanks for the feedback

[@saradavis3327]

Thanks! First time changing a bulb and it went flawless. Appreciate the content.

[@chrisjanson9532]

Thank you for this. Now can we please find the moron GM engineer that designed this thing? Must be the same idiot that designed the spare tire storage system. I love my Chevy but they make it hard to do some of the simplest things.

[@o.z1992]

I know right what a moron My 2004 gmc sierra headlight can be replaced in 5 minutes if that

[@kristoferfc6525]

It's MUCH easier than the guys that designed the O7-13 Body style Tahoe/Suburban it was a nightmare to do a single bulb

[@IcedMichaeI]

Kristofer FC yup damn near have to take the whole front end off

[@chrisyetka1477]

Gee, I wonder if they made it hard so the average rube has to take it to the dealer and pay $100, for a $5 bulb?

[@1manarmyguzman629]

What happened to chevy simple design? All those steps just for headlight bulbs!! Smh

[@suckiemee]

Thank you so much for that video. I noticed on the way home my front right headlight was blinking on and off. I’m going to find out tomorrow. Once again thanks for that video.

Low beams are H11?

[@Lonestarsmoke]

My check engine light came on but I also forgot to tighten the hose clamp like an idiot lol is this the reason my light came on???

[@1AAuto]

+Ryan Perez We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@HoldupHen]

Same here. Check Engine came on but it never went off after I tightened all the screws? Any ideas

[@HoldupHen]

Okay, I basically just took the sensor off and plugged it back in again, firmly. Engine light cut off. This saved me the headache of spending money on a damn diagnostic. Thanks for the video!

[@MidNightMass402]

i love how you say press down when you pull up

[@bigednycles]

all that for a bulb wow!!

[@yodadysmom]

Really not much compared to a lot of vehicles now...

[@MrBob2212]

Had to remove my intake and airbox on my 15 charger as well

[@nrfa6229]

Best step x step video in my opinion in years. All videos should be step x step just like this one. Do you have one on how to change/replace bulbs for 2015 Silverado LTZ 1500 fog lights? How would I go about installing HID lights in my headlights low and high beams, as well as my fog lights? Any video help would be awesome. Merry Christmas.

[@1AAuto]

+Nrfa Here is a video that shows you how to replace the fog light bulbs in this truck. We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows you how to upgrade to HID lights. Merry Christmas to you too kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrLlJ2Xj9N4ebs

This is way easier than the body style before it, but definitely more difficult compared to older body styles prior to 2007..

So it’s the same with the high beams too ??

[@Truckinstuff]

Just a Tip. You can take that top bracket lose by just taking the top bolt out on the fender side then just slide it over to the right out of the way!

[@kaidenharrietha]

Hey I followed your exact steps and everything went fine but my check engine light came on. I took out and plugged back in my air filter sensor but light stayed on. Any suggestions? It only came on after I took the air box out to put in my led bulbs.

[@the4tham]

buy a new chevy truck.

[@chrisn5079]

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnect. It should go away. If it comes back within 50 miles, go to a shop that does free OBDII scans. They'll tell you whatever code it's throwing.

[@ronnienichols373]

Have a part store check and erase codes most will for free

[@Everythingoutdoors902]

I read some say you need the 9005 bulb some say you need the h11 bulb and then others say it's a different bulb that you van only get at the dealer? Can you clarify this please?

[@waterdude9]

I purchased a 9005 for mine only to find out it didn’t work. I ended up needing the h11. I have a 2014 Silverado and am unsure if it changes based on the year. Your best bet is to remove the bad bulb to see which one you need.

[@Fluke2SS]

Good video, but does not account for 2017 Silverado. I assume regarldess if it's a 1500/2500/3500. The headlight assembly is different, and the factory bulbs are xenon phillips all in ones (built in balast/igniter)

[@CIRCLETHESKYYY]

Thanks, guys. Good video. Commenting to boost the algorhythm...

[@gregorycotter6461]

When you were reinstalling the light bulb, you said turn it counterclockwise, but you turned it clockwise for the actual installation.

[@markjacob9590]

The tail light bulbs are easy, so is the front left headlight bulbs..but to get to that front right one is a lot of work.

[@midwaytowingVA]

btw: they make a trim tool remover instead of using wire cutters

[@edgu71eg]

Any direction on what I can do to fix my 2015 Chevy Silverado low beam passenger head light would be greatly appreciated. It's blew out twice so then I replaced the melted wire harness in back of the light bulb after that it lasted a few days and it blew out again. So, three times and now I'm just not driving at night. Really don't want to go to the dealer. I'm not touching the bulb Theres no condensation noted

[@1AAuto]

+edgu71eg At this time we are unable to diagnose the issue you may be experiencing and would suggest contacting a local mechanic for further assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.

Super helpful, both lights in my 2015 Tahoe went out at the same time, this was a life saver and so much cheaper than paying labor. Thank you!

Can anyone help I have a 2014 silverado 1500 and my top driver side turn signal won't stay on but works when I flick the turn signal ideas ?

[@1AAuto]

+Seymour Butts If the lever will not stay up or down to activate the turn signal, the camber inside may be worn. You might have to replace the turn signal if this is the case. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@whitetailhunter7202]

The covers on my 2014 silverado 1500 don't even turn an ⅛ of a turn. They hit the grille support first. I had to pry them out with a large screw driver!😡 They weren't even close to the notches to release. I don't have enough clearance to even get them back on!

[@youthsportsperformance]

Thanks for the step by step instruction.

[@R__K]

Wouldn't it be easier to use a panel popper tool instead of the screwdriver and wire cutters? Seems more risk in damaging fasteners than actually removing them for average people.

[@davidrussell9290]

I thought the same thing, but used dikes like the video. No issues and most people probably don't have poppers.

[@IMPCIVLIVSCAESARDIVVS]

Yeah, probably. But it's probably done this way to show that it can be done without a tab puller, whereas most people have a flathead

[@mneu8385]

I agree, I busted my zip ties and those plastic snap rivets whatever they are called and u guys doing this in 30 minutes are the best . I’m still screwing around with my light smh

[@izaacleal3985]

Ive been driving around in a 2001 Silverado and decided to get a newer chevy so i got a 2015. Why on earth did they make these so much more complicated and hard to get too??? My 2001 was right there and even the headlight assembly just had two pins and pulled right out.

I just did exactly what u did in this video now my check engine is on, any reason why u think

[@jmgarcia12]

the air flow sensor is probably confused (if you unplug it)...disconnect the car battery, replug it in. The car's computer will recognize the sensor again (no more engine light)

[@MexhomieXlll]

Did u plug the intake sensor back in

[@karleevoorhees2383]

belinda h I just had the same problem did you figure it out ?

[@IVLandDSADPC]

Check your air intake harness and make sure you tightened the hose clamp down all the way. Had the same issue

[@alanpineda5741]

It worked for me

[@kelvinchannel9592]

you are great cause the turn signaled look difficult

[@safwsu639]

The dust covers are extremely hard to turn whether removing or installing. You cannot really get a grip - and they are so tight you can barely push them in hard enough to turn them when replacing.

[@maricardoza1865]

Took me 1 hour 😆 🤣 but I got it done

[@ke9527]

Thanks for the video.

[@paulmichael9318]

i viewed this video numerous times, all but memorized it. but i just couldn't do it. NATURALLY my high beam bulb on the PASSENGER side - not the drivers side - needed to be replaced. the days of an owner doing basic repairs have been over decades ago. first, the red clip on MAS went flying somewhere in the engine compartment, cannot find it. STILL COULD NOT GET THE SENSOR TO COME OFF THE AIRBOX LID, EVEN WITHOUT THE RED CLIP TO HOLD IT ON! WTF. now, the lid couldn't be twisted to get it out of the way. so, i had to remove the support bracket that was preventing the airbox lid from getting out of the way. 2ND, then i couldn't get the air box separated from the hose. IT. JUST. WOULDN'T. COME. OFF. THE. F-ING. HOSE. 3rd, couldn't get the airbox bottom popped off the rad support. THIS was the point of giving up and reassembling and scheduling and pay a mechanic for a simple light bulb replacement, which means taking a day off work to go to the repair shop. thanks for the video, NOT YOUR FAULT, but repairs cannot be done by the owner any more.
