From one stranger to another, thank you. This saved me $700. Called around to multiple shops and they all quoted me $800 for new bulbs and installation. I spent $100 on new bulbs and some tools and was done in 30 minutes. Thank you again.

I just saw your comment in Jun 2024. My 2014 ATS driver's side head lamp bulb burned out and need replacing. I got quotes from verious shops to replace the bulb, with $300 to $500 quotes. I suck ate mechanic work but think I can do this. I bought a bulb at AutoZone. But, I don't have any tools. What tools would you recommend I should buy to do the bulb replacement? Thanks.
@postaldee682 ай бұрын
@jamesogletree5257 The only tool I had to buy was a flexible extension for the screwdriver because the angle was pretty weird. "Luckily" because of covid I had some latex gloves which I HIGHLY recommend because you don't want to accidentally touch the bulb but it's a tight squeeze getting in there and you'll want to still be able to feel around. I did it in about 50 minutes but did the 2nd one much faster. Getting the cover to screw back into place was the hardest part because you're doing it completely blind. Definitely worth the trouble though. I watched a video on swapping out the infotainment touchscreen, too since my confidence was riding high! LOL

Soo I looked up this video last night and planned on doing it myself but out of curiosity, I called my local dealership. For ONE bulb, they wanted to charge me $700. When I told them I would pass (I was very nice btw), they got snarky and told me good luck getting it done elsewhere because you have to take apart the whole front end. They got real quiet when I told them I watched you do it in under 30 minutes.😂

Thanks for posting! I was afraid my daughters ATS was going to be a "piece of work" like my CTS had been when I changed those bulbs out...I didn't want to remove the tire, so off came the front clip...ugh. Your headlights beams look awesome and not too painful for other oncoming drivers. I'm going to look for the same bulbs you bought, as there are a bazillion varieties on eBay to look through. ( I don't know why the tail length on the connector...it just adds to the bulk to tuck into the caps, and there is hardly room as you found out.).
@S.0.G5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! The swap wasn’t too bad at all despite the lack of room with the tire on the car. For me, the difficult part was indeed finding a way to tuck the new bulbs wires in the dust cap. I’ve heard of some people just removing them in general, but I’d assume they’re on it for a reason. The output of the new lights are just perfect. Brighter than factory but not annoying bright for others and doesn’t have that “aftermarket” look to them. This far they’ve been working great! Hope the replacement goes well for you 👍
