This video was super helpful and accurate in the year 2024! We switched out the light ourselves, and only spent about $9 and an hour or less of time. Thank you for posting!

Glad my video helped! 😄

Thank you. Now I'm going to do this this weekend when I'm off work.

Good luck!

Thank you for posting this video. I tried watching three other videos that were longer and couldn't figure out how to pop the housing off the clip. I had the bulb replaced and everything back together before the video was over.

So glad that my video helped!

Great video. I rarely comment on videos but yours is to the point, very clear. And I appreciate the layout showing everything involved

Thank you for your kind words! Glad that my video helps.

Hey, very useful thanks for posting.does thr warning message go away automatically afterwards or some manual action is needed as to reset the warning?

[@Armuino]

The message appeared when ignition started immediately after the bulb change, but went away and did not appear again after the first drive. No manual action to reset the warning was needed.

[@panayiotischiras7125]

Hey thanks for posting .does the warning message go away automatically or is a manual action still needed?

[@Armuino]

It went away automatically once I drove first time after changing the bulb.

[@KennyH88]

What happens if you replace the burnt out bulb, but the fault remains?

[@Armuino]

If the error message didn't go away after you drove first time after changing the bulb, please check whether break lights work.
