I'm old, and on a fixed income. Thanks is not enough, in my case. You, and all the guys like you, have probably saved me a few HUNDRED dollars in the last few years. Some day, when you're having an off day, think about people who don't have a lot, but who are biting into a pork chop or piece of chicken instead of a bowl of ramen because of the difference you make.

I can't believe I did it, but I did!!!! I'm a 71 year old woman and I changed the drivers side turn signal on my '18 Durango following your instructions! Yay for me!!

[@wmspins]

Directions in the video are spot on. Same directions for the V8 as well. Just did my 2015 RT driver side light that the dealer wanted $164 to do. Took me 6 minutes including washing my hands when done. Thank you for saving me some $$ and taking the time to document the procedure for others!!!!

[@brucewayne8974]

[@mariazuniga5681]

I went to a shop. I was told I wouldn’t be charged for the bulb because they’re cheap but that he would have to charge me any where from $75-$120 to remove everything on top. After watching your video, I purchased the bulb for $8 and changed it myself in 5 minutes. Thank you

[@richfishing92]

Congrats that’s great! Where did you find the bulbs?

[@SuperPete276]

@@richfishing92 Any autoparts store has them.

[@SandraBlessed4ever]

Man this is awesome!! May God bless you and your family 💯 fold for helping hard working people to save money🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏☺️

[@SuperPete276]

You are welcome. Also checkout my most recent video on much needed headlight bulbs upgrade.

[@TheZooman22]

Thanks a lot. I took one look at the driver side light and thought , "what a bad design" . With your help I did it.

[@TheYooperChick]

Thank you for the awesome video. I'm a 63 year old woman and you saved me $300! I did the change out myself in about 15 minutes. I have a 2016 Durango and there are NO access ports in the wheel wells. I paid $8 for 2 bulbs and $2 for bulb grease to protect the connections. I'm so pleased to have found this video and made the swap out on my own! =)

[@hauntedmoundadvocate9185]

😂

[@OriginalTrilogy]

You must had went to Auto zone. They are famous for trying to upsell. I assume that's why you left with the grease. Lol

[@andreindy5]

Just came in from following this video. I can't thank you enough. Took me 15 minutes and it's all done. Hardest part was getting the plastic vent back in and getting it around the washer fluid reservoir. This saved me some money Peter! Thanks again.

[@ericalopez4705]

Thanks so much. I just changed my 2018 durango driver signal light all by my self and didn't need my boyfriends help.🙌🙌 You rock!!! 👏👏

[@pattyglez1513]

Thank you very much! Came to my brothers shop to fix it He ended up being busy I watched the video and changed it before he got to me😂😊thank!!!

[@laurencebrady7278]

You saved me 260 dollars...the dealer didn't understand why I canceled my appointment!! Thanks..Video was well done and easy to understand!!

[@SuperPete276]

That's crazy, WOW, happy to help

[@chrisbrown2159]

I’ve come back to this video multiple times now. Those dang turn signals go out constantly and all it is, is that burnt wire on the bulb itself. Thanks for saving me hundreds over the years!

[@TheDadsFavorites]

Thank you! This was really valuable! Even though you made this 7 years ago, it is still very helpful

[@TheDdbrown81]

You’re a genius SuperPete I just was told that same price from Dodge and found your easy well explained video helped me save $300 for literally a 5 min job smh. Thanks bro Major Kudos to you!!!!

[@SuperPete276]

Glad I can help. It blown my mind what dealer charges for simple job like that

[@quantaviousmartin4932]

Just did it. 10-15 mins top. In garage, wife held the light. Little nervous putting back on, a little tight and split the plastic a little but worked like a charm. Thanks so much.

[@davidnee6157]

Changed my bulbs out, glad I watch this video 1st. 2015 R/T. Installed original amber bulbs, no resistor needed. After I got them installed and all put back together, It still hyper - blinked on my dash but not the actual blinker. I did find this out, turn on each blinker for maybe 10 - 15 second, then shut down your durango COMPLETELY. Start it back up and your computer should now see you changed them out. Took me about 15 minutes to do this, 10 of it was wrestling the plastic intake back together! Thanks a BUNCH!! Thumbs up!

[@Sandra-fx4jg]

This video saved me $$. I took my Durango in to get an oil.change and they didn't even ask me if I wanted to change out the bulb knowing full well that it was out. Not going to pay $300+ for a $10 bulb. Thank you for sharing this video!!

[@SuperPete276]

Glad I can help.

[@crystalelise156]

I was afraid to change the bulb but decided to try your method. Thank you so much. I saved myself $80, which is an estimate of how much it may cost from a mechanic. It took me five minutes. I’m proud of myself!!!! I can get my car inspected now. You’re a gem!

[@SuperPete276]

Thank you for awesome feedback!

[@robertacampbell7345]

Single mom here…thank you so much for this video! Did it myself thanks to you and this video!

[@lodes73]

Just followed your steps to replace both signal bulbs that went out within a month of each other (about 2 years from new). I added a bit of bulb grease to the contact points to hopefully prolong the life of the new ones. Your videos are awesome - thank you and keep up the great work!

[@oliver10041]

Omg.. my 2015 durango was doing the same thing, it would work for a few days, then it wouldn't, then the other side would stop working and then work again. I followed your instructions on removing the air intake assembly and took out the bulbs and saw where it was a little black on the contact. Scraped it a little to where you could see the metal contact again, reinstalled it and BAM! worked perfectly! Thank you very much for your help!

[@Bappah]

Thanks very much for saving me $300!! Mine is the 5.7L V8 and the process is identical.

[@SuperPete276]

Subscribe, I am doing headlight bulb upgrade review soon, if you dont have HID's you don't want to miss it

[@johnpearson1725]

Thanks for the video. This is very helpful for the turn signal replacement. As others have said, to replace the headlights, you need to go through the wheel well opening. This also only takes 5 minutes to do, also. 1.) Turn wheels to left to access the passenger side and to the right to access the drivers side, 2.) reach in and quarter turn the soft back cover for the headlight (this cover has a soft back with a hard plastic ring) and remove from wheel well, 3.) reach in and quarter turn to the left (counter clockwise) headlight and pull out of enclosure, 4.) lift tab and remove light from socket, 5.) insert new light in socket making sure it clicks (tab locks), 6.) follow steps 3 and 2 in this order to put everything back in place. The soft back cover is a little tricky to put back. It is easiest to get it aligned in your hand before going through the wheel well opening.

[@nickscott7252]

Fantastic video that clearly and perfectly explained it. A word of advice for anyone watching, be sure you’re pulling the right bulb out. It’s the black housing above the gray one. I spent five minutes torquing on the gray one only to realize it wasn’t the turn signal! Thanks for the awesome video.

[@StevenJ511]

My man Peter. You just saved me 300 bucks. in 15 min. lol there was no way to do it thru the wheel well like someone mentioned. Thanks again

[@gil850]

Getting it back together was a SOB, but this was a huge time and money saver!

[@kristopherstine549]

Thank you. I tried to replace my bulb and almost took it to the dealership, you just saved me $245!

[@MamaInSurvivalMode]

Just got a 2017 Durango in April. It was over $100 for an oil change which about killed me since we’re living pay to pay and will be making payments for three years. I just found your page and subbed immediately. Thank you!

[@g28mia]

Out of all the videos I watched this is the only one that shows how to replace turn signal without removing entire assembly! Quick and Easy...thank you!

[@presjobro]

Thank you for posting this, the dealer wanted $150 to diagnose the problem. I couldn't find a video that had the same issues as I had with my Durango until I came across yours. 🙂👍

[@jasonparker6670]

Thank you so much for figuring this out. The dealership wanted $280 this morning to change the front turn signal and I just about passed out. I went to autoparts store and a pack of 2 bulbs only cost $5.35 and now I'm confident I can change both of them today. Thank you so much again.

[@SuperPete276]

Ouch...

[@rioblack6469]

Thanks!!!! I’ve got a 2016 Durango Limited and this happened today. Followed your directions and got the bulb replaced. That intake was a pest to put back in but the entire job took no more than 5-6 minutes plus another min to wash my hands. Forget going to the dealership. Save your $$$.

[@cruzgarza7589]

This was a very helpful video! It literally took me less than five minutes!! I appreciate it and now I look like a super mechanic to my wife!! Thanks again!

[@sheilaobrien5586]

This video was a life saver! Spent $8 on the bulbs and was able to do it myself! Only issue was trying to get the vent back in and maneuvering around the washer fluid reservoir but otherwise it was super simple and easy to follow. Thanks for posting!

[@SuperPete276]

Glad my little DYI helping people, thank you for feedback.

[@t.gates917]

Great tutorial your advice and description was spot on. I saved almost 400 dollars from the dealer with just 5-6 minutes of work. Thanks from NY.

[@dustynyc]

Don’t follow advice from any other source on this. This man’s process is the best - easiest and quickest. Nice job!

[@richardpilat7858]

Thank you Pete!!! Great quality video. Used the heavy duty bulb from Wagner, took 8 minutes. I had been to the dealer twice for this, they never thought to use a better bulb.

[@ecas3567]

I just watched this video for my 2017 Durango..MAN!!!! Thank you for posting this video! Saved me a hell of a lot of money

[@aarongio2203]

THank you! I was gonna take off the front fascia and mud flap and grill. So glad I watched your video. I just reached inside the engine bay, moved a few wire bunches and I could access both bulbs. Took longer to open the package and get the bulb out than it did to do the whole replacement!

[@000Jeannie000]

Thank you so much! Had the issue with the driver side.... your video saved me a trip to the dealership and tons of $. Replaced both to be safe in under ten minutes. Bonus, our cars are twins. 😊

[@toddwmac]

Thanks, Peter this rocks. I did the passenger side of my 2015 Durango a couple months ago but the driver just failed and I had heard the "dealer install" BS. Your video confirmed what I had hoped. It is an easy, toolless fix if you know what to do. A potential temp fix (which I believe is repeated below) If people don't have easy access to new bulbs and need a quick (temporary) fix, chances are they can scrape the connector wire on the base of the bulb that has that burned black line across it. I used the back of a knife blade and just lightly scraped...you don't want to cut the wire. Asyou mention, I suspect this is also why sometimes the turn signal works once in a while after bumpy terrain. I did this temporary fix while on a recent trip and used it for a few months ( until the driver failed) Not sure if it is the bulb design or the connector design but don't really care. It is an easy replacement and a few spares only cost a Hamilton or two. Thanks again!

[@1jayteaszy]

Every time I have an issue with my Durango i always look for this guy's video's. He's always on point. Thx for the help

[@antlerkids]

Great instructions! Exact same procedure for a 2014 Durango RT. Best instructional video I've seen on KZbin in a long time.

[@sonjabasman1039]

I got a 2015 v6 durango and couldn't reach it through the wheel well. So I followed your directions and got it done in about 15 min as well. Had a little trouble putting back in the parts but got it done and working. Thanks for saving me $$$!!

[@charlesshelby4051]

Thanks sir, I'm a Google mechanic; that was very helpful!!!

[@dennisryan56]

I thought you did a great job with this informative video as did your assistant! My driver's turn side burned out and the 2015 model I have was not even a year old. You were very clear and helpful. Keep up the good work. Love my Durango, finally an American car recommended by CONSUMER REPORTS. THANKS for your time and effort!

[@jessicarogers8939]

Wow! Thanks man. I never have done any work on my cars. I followed your instructions and literally replaced the bulb in 5 min. I will be looking for your other videos. Very easy to follow.

[@stevewind771]

Thanks man!!! Took all the plastic clips off the top of the assembly, took the clip off the washer reservoir , you sir just saved me 300$

[@JediMasterKitFisto]

After watching video I actually removed turn signal in about a minute and a half. I noticed filament was not burned so I swapped with the driver side turn signal and both work again. Thanks for the great video.

[@Shuttayomouf]

I asked a parts guy to help me trouble shoot and he told me "these cars are made for you not to be able to work on." Forget that! Ten bucks for the bulbs and this video had me in and out in ten minutes. Thanks!

[@kujhawk94]

Perfect directions - clear, understandable and done in five minutes as promised. Thanks!!

[@ladykassama2432]

Thank you. Went and shopped around and was quoted at least $100 for labor. Did it in less than 15 mins. and $8 bulbs.

[@kryo8899]

awesome video! one shop wanted to charge $50 and the dealer shop wanted $70 and stated we had to buy the light bulbs from them !!- took me about 25 minutes!

[@CKDGC]

This video is no joke! I just changed both turn signal bulbs in less than 5 minutes. He is correct. The dealerships do want to charge you almost $300 just for the drivers side! I bought a pack of bulbs for $8.00. Click like NOW.

[@dawnogea9278]

Thank you sir!!! Your video saved me 300 bucks!! And as for your little helper, I could not have done it without him,

[@heatherkoutnik1]

Thank you so much!!! I was so embarrassed to have an appointment scheduled to change a stupid light bulb. I can cancel it now! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@reddevil00745able]

Worked. Bought the bulb and put in right in! 10 minutes if you work methodically. Thanx aton! Very helpful for anyone without endless money to spend.

[@nmartin959]

Man, you saved me a lot of money. Best video on KZbin in regards to how to change these bulbs.

[@orlandoyork2587]

Bro this is crazy !!! I just watched 2 videos posted by mechanics and they both tried to make me take the entire front bumper off.

[@SuperPete276]

Well, you can take front bumper off or you can follow my steps and have it done in 5 min, look how many comments under this video people saying thank you and how easy it was. Remember, dealership make money on service not on selling car fees...

[@danishalvi5443]

I needed to replace the drivers side headlight and couldn't figure out how and now see this video. Very helpful! thanks for sharing and keep making videos.

[@nelajero8718]

Just replaced the turn signal bulb on the front driver's side and it took me a little over 5 mins but I managed to replace it. Thank you so much.

[@EKRJDRRNG]

I have a 2015 dodge Durango sxt awd n my driver side turn signal stopped working and I got that message on the screen. I'm so glad I saw this video. Thanks for explaining on how to do it. It was very helpful. I did it like in 6 min. Should've waited for the car to cool off. Lol

[@danielfeatherkile9629]

Thanks Peter, it worked on my 2015 Durango. It was a bit of a wrestling match but saved me many $$$$$$$s.

[@janiekeller7332]

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to change the bulb myself on my 2017 Citadel and avoid paying BIG bucks. It was so easy and your instructions were spot on.

[@soulbby]

I appreciate you! I literally watched your video like 3 times and changed mine in 6 mins!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jimcunningham2489]

Thanks for the video. Just changed the drivers on mine. It took me about 5 minutes and I had issues with getting the breather tube past the air filter box on the way back in. Got my daughter to hold it so I could pull it thru. Saved me some $$$.

[@jamesbell6765]

Nice video and spot on as I just followed it to replace my left side turn signal. Only qualifier might be to share that the first item you see is actually not the turn signal bulb plug but another wiring related piece. I removed that first before realizing it wasn't the correct one. There's no damage in removing it and is easily put back in. Just be aware that the turn signal is further upper right if you're facing the front right fender from the front. Still, great instructional video and well articulated. Thanks much!

[@kevinpawl8148]

Excellent video and very helpful advice. Changed the headlight in 5 minutes like you said! I did have trouble getting the plastic air intake back in and carefully removed the windshield washer fluid reservoir top plastic fastener just to get an extra bit of wiggle room. This allowed me to slip the air intake in easily. thank you for your money and hassle saving video!

[@ace11235]

Appreciate the video man! Got pulled over yesterday for the headlight and the officer was understanding. Definitely changing it today!

[@samanthaboy9538]

Changed both turn signs based on this video! Passenger side was sooo easy! driver side a little more complicated and my intake plastic piece did not want to come out, but was able to slip my hand in and change the bulb. Intake is the hardest piece to get out and in, but worth changing it yourself for $10 to fix both!

[@GreenNGoldFever]

Dude! I am not very handy, but you made it easy brother. Pulled it off in 10 minutes. Thank you so much. Been putting it off for like 3 months! Let me know how to refinish cabinets next, haha.

[@Benzini9]

Bro, thank you so much for making this video I was staring at the driver side for sometime. I bought LED bulbs and thanks to you I can swap them out quickly, really appreciate your effort in making this video!

[@savvysuz57]

Thank you... very helpful. I've used your instructions for my 2014 Dodge Durango and whaaalaa. Now it's the turn signal.

[@edwardmusshafen5675]

I am going to try that tonight after seeing how easy it is to replace the bulbs. Thanks for all your videos, you make it look too easy! I wish you were my neighbor! haha

[@lissa7006]

Many many Thanks! I'm trying to save money where I can and trying to avoid going to the dealership cause it's an arm and a leg on the costs...But you are a life saver. 😄 Thank you again for showing how simple it can be.

[@laughingspeed]

That was perfect. I have a 2019 Durango R/T with the V8 and it’s no different than what he showed in this video. Thanks again for posting this. Was quick and easy. 5 minute and done.

Very helpful I needed to change my passenger headlight and my air filter as well. Wasn't sure how to change the filter, now I know. Thanks for making this video!

[@13572danube]

I was able to get my hand in without removing the intake tube. I unclipped it as you did and was able to get at the bulb. The bulb itself was good but there was corrosion build up on one of the leads. Scrapped it off with a nail and it worked. Thanks for your help.

[@jessicapurkey542]

Thanks for posting this video! just replaced mine in about 10 mins! Really appreciate it!!

U owe him 299$ lol jk

[@markc2427]

Hey. Great vid, thanks. My bulb had the same ‘burnt out’ thing as yours. I used some Deoxit D5 spray and scraped the more stubborn carbon off with a razor blade. Didn’t even have to get a new bulb. Those burnt out bits are just carbon build up. Clean it up and put it back. Thanks again for the video. Saved me a heap of time and $$$.

[@lancerauhoff887]

Literally as easy as you showed it in the video. I would have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out - your video was fantastic. Thank you!

[@Ih8chew]

Awesome video! Had mine changed and put back together in two minutes after watching this vid. Why anyone would downvote this video is beyond me.

[@SnakeEls088]

Thanks for the video. Just changed out the turn signal bulb on the driver side. It always feels good to save 99% with a $3 bulb and 5min of your time. Had the same problem: turn signal would work and then not work. When I pulled the bulb out, it had the same melted contact point. Thanks again.Btw- it all works the same for the 5.7 V8 Hemi in the 2014 Citadel. Someone else may have stated that in the comments, but if not I wanted to affirm that.

[@intruderstudio4703]

You 4 years later after you post safe me $250 ! Thanks !

Hey, your video helped a bunch, thank you for posting. But then, when I was all done being helped by your video, I found a direct access hatch in the wheel well, no airbox removal required. Just twist and change

[@candace5810]

Thank you. Literally took me about 10 minutes to fix it on my own.

[@ChanoDaChicano]

Thanks Bro!! I watched your video last night, you're right it took about 5 minutes to change the light bulb... THANKS AGAIN!!! I SAVED $$$....

[@infamousalb]

Thank you, my gf send I just changed both headlight bulbs in under 15 minutes..... greatly appreciated !!

[@yeksun]

Who would have ever thought that replacing a light bulb would be an expensive repair? Thanks for the tip.

[@cartergve]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I had my oil changed and asked them if they could change it, I figured I might as well kill two birds. After 15 minutes and me watching them watch your video through the window, he comes back and says they can do it for $150.00. I drove a mile up the road, bought the bulb for $5 and changed it in the autozone parking lot. Thanks again!

[@davida5359]

Just replaced my turn signal bulbs on my 2015 Durango. (17700 mi) As you mentioned in the video bulb base and wire are burnt. The bulb elements are in good shape, getting hyper-flash due to the poor bulb contact with the socket. The base bulb wire is burnt and the bulb plastic base is melted. The carbon on the base wire connection causes high resistance, resulting in hyper-flash and the turn signal not working. Found Wagner BP3157NA Long Life bulbs that uses heavier wire on the bulb base, and the base is glass not plastic. The larger wire should make better contact with the socket, and the glass base won't melt. Show less

[@mikebythesun]

Thanks for this, pal. I was lamenting having to take out the whole air filter assembly and you just pulled it out in less than 10 seconds. I was dreading it, now I can’t wait to get out there to do it! LOL

[@chadwalters8538]

Thanks for everything my man! I installed it on my 2017 GT but it took me a few mins longer than 5 mins lol

[@ednewhouse7635]

Awesome video. Instructions are spot on. Took me 7 minutes instead of 5, but that's probably because I have large hands.

[@SuperPete276]

Glad it helped!

[@wademyers1795]

Excellent video. I looked and thought I was going to have to pull my tire to access the headlight assembly. This made my day. Thanks alot.

Glad I could help!
