2013-2019 Cadillac ATS - $60 LED Headlight Upgrade - EASY

[@JeffLyle]

Here is the link from Auxito for the bulbs I used (apparently they don't sell them on Amazon anymore) www.auxito.com/collections/9012-led-bulb/products/9012-led-bulb-80-watt-16000-lumen?rq=yr_2014~mk_Cadillac~md_ATS~tm_~ml_High%20Beam%20and%20Low%20Beam%20-%20Off-road%20Use%20Halogen;%20For%20vehicle%20without%20Headlamps%20High%20Intensity%20Discharge It looks like the ones they sell on amazon are these. The only difference seems to be the advertised brightness of 30,000 lumens. That is nearly twice the lumens. They are a little more expensive but they do have some good reviews though. www.amazon.com/AUXITO-9012-HIR2-Lifespan-Replacement/dp/B0C5WQTG12/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2GMBEU1Y1UD1T&keywords=AUXITO+9012%2FHIR2+LED+Light+Bulbs+Mini+Size+80W+16%2C000LM+Per+Pair+CanBus+Ready+Conversion+Bulb+Kit%2C+6500K+White%2C+Pack+of+2&qid=1701951737&sprefix=auxito+9012%2Fhir2+led+light+bulbs+mini+size+80w+16%2C000lm+per+pair+canbus+ready+conversion+bulb+kit%2C+6500k+white%2C+pack+of+2%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d

I had 2013 super clean black AWD 201738 K miles ,I did the LED lights long time ago , then upgrade it to car play and navigation with HMI 2.5 and radio , , HUD , rear air suspension, and instead of 2.0L turbo engine , I upgrade it to 2.5L turbo , tune it , all my self , and its now super Cadi ,,❤❤❤❤

[@JeffLyle]

Dang that’s awesome! I bet that was a ton of fun

[@Saygbo]

Where did you get the car play from?

[@Sam-cz7it]

This is a great video number one. You don’t have to take your wheel off number two. You don’t have to pull the hole inside of that liner off. I changed the lightbulb on my 2018 Cadillac ATS. You only have to remove for like four screws a peel the inside liner out. My God, you don’t have to rip the car apart.

[@JeffLyle]

That’s awesome. We agree, as I said in the intro of my video. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@crs1474]

Very nice. I had those same Y13 Auxitos and they have a good beam spread and brightness.

[@JeffLyle]

I couldnt believe what a difference they made. Thanks for watching C

[@davidshearin6900]

Going to attempt this on my 2014. Just ordered the bulbs. Thank you!!

[@JeffLyle]

You got this!

[@consumersleep148]

@jeffLyle I order some auxito but my led lights didn’t come with that harness only the the led light it self and it didn’t fit my connector (which is like yours)

[@JeffLyle]

@@consumersleep148 I'd tell the company you bought them from that they are missing the harness.

[@jenhall3889]

@@JeffLyleso where can we order to get the harness and bulb all in one?

[@JeffLyle]

@@jenhall3889they stopped selling them on Amazon for some reason. But here is the link to Auxito’s website. Looks like the price has gone up since I made this video. Might be worth looking around on Amazon at other brands like Farhen or something if you want to save a few bucks. www.auxito.com/products/9012-led-bulb-80-watt-16000-lumen

[@davidshearin6900]

Thank you for this. I just installed these lights yesterday. They look really good, what a difference! 👍

[@JeffLyle]

So glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@kerryshuler8669]

I didn't have to take my wheels off to install lol

[@JeffLyle]

That’s great. Thanks for sharing!

[@SUPRTV]

What’d you do?

[@zachlauzon1546]

I got the same exact car same colour 2014 n I wanna black it out like you got it looks nice bro

[@JeffLyle]

Thanks Zach! I am going to be wrapping the roof in high gloss piano black as well to see what that looks like too. If it is overkill, I'll just take it off.

[@peterburi2727]

I found that a very small amount of silicone grease on the sealing surfaces helps reinstalling all the caps.

[@JeffLyle]

Great advice!

[@lawrencena8244]

I am thinking of converting my hid to led on my 2014 Cadillac XTS

[@keithroberts5611]

Does this conversion have any issues with overheating? I have heard when the car is stationary it can melt either the headlight housing or the polycarbonate lenses your thoughts please!!🤔👍

[@JeffLyle]

so far so good... no sign of melting anything. LEDs typically emit MUCH less heat than a halogen or sealed beam light.

[@keithroberts5611]

I’ve had no problems

[@mueller49er]

One LED light bulb for high and low beam?

[@JeffLyle]

yes these bulbs do high and low beam. super simple and crazy bright!

[@MarkHunter-wh9bs]

Hey Jeff I had a question relating to your front grille that’s completely blacked out… I have the same year and model as you and I want to do the grill exactly like you have . Any suggestions or options or answers???? Thanks much appreciated

[@JeffLyle]

Believe it or not it is just glossy black spray paint. Clean it really good and wipe it down completely dry, mask it off and take your time!

[@johnmogielski4590]

What brand spray? I used rust oleum and it started to look like Plasti dip after a month & it was gloss black

[@JeffLyle]

@@johnmogielski4590honestly I’m not sure. I bought the car with the grille already painted. It’s not perfect but looks ok from 5 feet away.

[@lorenzom9681]

I have a 2017 and it had a different front end you think this’ll still work?

[@JeffLyle]

according to my research the 2017 uses the same headlights and headlight assemblies as the 2014 I installed these in

[@lorenzom9681]

@@JeffLyle thanks

[@ELEgangordontbang]

Yo bro I got a 2017 ats 2.0t also did they fit if you ordered them?

[@JeffLyle]

@@ELEgangordontbang I checked the Q&A on Amazon and the part numbers for factory bulbs on rockauto. As long as your factory bulbs are 9012 (which they appear to be) then they will work.

[@larryclemmons2704]

Where can I get that black grill?

[@JeffLyle]

looks pretty good in pictures and from about 5 feet away huh? It's just glossy black spray pant and the Cadillac emblem was masked off. It isn't the best job but it works. I figure when it starts peeling and looks like crap I'll either redo it or buy an aftermarket grille.

[@asadianbelifont3875]

I tried this with another brand I got but the damn things would just stop working. Sometimes they wouldn’t work with auto light controls, sometimes they’d just shut off completely while driving, etc. According to the manufacturer a cambus was not needed

[@JeffLyle]

that's a bummer. I hope you got it worked out. Mine are working great and have had no issues!

[@asadianbelifont3875]

@@JeffLyle Thanks. I gave up on those and just reinstalled standard halogens. I’m going to try the Brand mentioned here and see how it goes

[@JeffLyle]

@@asadianbelifont3875 if you give these a shot, let me know if they end up working or not. If they work, you are going to be blown away by how much better your visibility will be at night. I am confident they will do the trick!

[@phenomfacemob1011]

Yea u definitely dont have to take th3 wheel off. Save a lot of time...you did a lot just for head lights

[@JeffLyle]

you are right about that, the headlight bulbs can be replaced without removing the wheels by folding the wheel liner out of the way. I had to replace struts and a lower control arm as well though so I just did it all at the same time. And it gave me a ton of room to access the bulbs easier.

[@phenomfacemob1011]

@JeffLyle yeah I understand.. are those light bright?

[@JeffLyle]

@@phenomfacemob1011 They are awesome. I couldnt be happier with the color and brightness. And the overall looks of the car with the lights on is much better than the old yellow lights too
