i have the same car, i kind of wish mine had the regular halogen units, then i could have just replaced the bulbs with plug and play LEDs. these HIDs are very expensive and a big pain to replace

The LEDs you are talking about are so that you can convert it from halogen to LED. They actually have the same thing for xenon, same housing and everything just LED.

Sorry I couldn't find a way to ask a new question. At the 4:04 mark of your video, you state "as you can see I've separated the bumper cover from the fender". But you didn't show HOW you did that. I'm stuck at that step and don't want to ruin my car by doing it incorrectly. I have the shroud off, the wheel well screws are off, screws alongside the bottom of the bumper cover are out. But I've afraid to just yank those panels apart. Why did you skip that step? LOL
@mikeb68543 жыл бұрын
Once you have the Phillips head screw and the other fender screws out the fender and bumper skirt will separate with some gentle pressure. Do not wrestle it out as you could do damage. Just pull out on the skirt and keep pressure on the fender
@paulpitlyk9083 жыл бұрын
@@mikeb6854 If I'm understanding you, that whole seam between the fender and bumper cover is essentially a "friction fit" with tabs fitting into slots -- except for one screw accessible near the wheel well lip that passes through a spring clip. I think you referred to that in your video as a Phillips head screw, but in my case it was a small hex head screw. Do I have that right?

@@weedknowledge0412 if you're talking about the black shroud over the radiator, it just pops right up. Just do it slowly and carefully so you don't lose the fasteners or break them. Start at one end and work your way around. Don't start in the middle

Buick engineers really outdid themselves on this one ,you need to disassemble the whole front end just to change a bulb. nowadays we need to go to the garage to get a light bulb changed.

If you have basic mechanical skill it's surprisingly easy. Just take your time, don't force anything, and be sure the new lights work before you reconnect it all. Sometimes the ballast may be bad too

Not your HID light. The whole assembly must be removed. You can change your driving lights with no problem as they are just a standard bulb

They designed it so you have to go to the dealership to change your bulb at $500.00 a pop. In all honesty if you watch the video this is really easy to do. You're going to be surprised. Just be patient when you do it. I bought the new lens assembly for $300.00 on EBay. Came with the bulb and the ballast. If you go to Auto Zone or whatever the bulb is $100 and the ballast I think was $70. So right there you save money. The new lens at the dealership was $1800.00. I hope this all helps
