CADILLAC CTS HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT - How to Change Headlight Bulbs on a Cadillac CTS. Save $$$

[@csbrown9322]

Appreciate the walk through. Followed this for my 2011 and everything went smoothly. 30 min fix.

[@chief2651]

😅 $200+ saved… I appreciate this!

[@pauldaviscpht]

Less than 1 hour to replace both bulbs. Thanks bro

[@lhlinaz]

Thanks for the video, brother. My wife volunteered my services to her girlfriend, who needed to have her lights replaced. It was 113 degrees(dry), so getting done quickly was mandatory.

[@stopreadingthisnow7689]

Big help man, my first time ever doing car stuff and it was this, but this video got me through it

[@GreyZinc]

Solid work, looks like I got a project tomorrow.

[@das165301991]

Helped me a lot had to loosen underneath a little to pull bumper thanks 👍🏾

[@houndjordan]

Good job easy enough for what it is👍🏼

[@marki336]

Thanks for the vid! I just changed both bulbs in less than 1/2 hour. 👍

[@fixinit]

Thanks for watching!😎

[@bustermania1]

How long is the Rachet extension you used to get to the 10mm bolt up in the wheel well?

[@Psalm-sy1kt]

Awesome video! Very helpful!

[@karlclintsman2950]

And this is why i will NEVER own another cadillac! Great walk through. Saved me a ton of time and aggrivation.

[@crabmansteve6844]

If you're changing the whole assembly you have to remove or partially remove the bumper. If you just need to replace bulbs you can access it from the wheel well. It'll be tight but it's absolutely possible.

[@The_DuMont_Network]

Remember when it was one or two screws, then realign them on the garage wall or that nifty machine the gas station had? And no hunting for that missing 10 or 11 MM socket.

[@shelovessle3265]

Question what’s the assembly is out how easy it is to replace the blinker bulbs

[@fixinit]

Easy. It’s all in the same assembly.

[@shelovessle3265]

@@fixinit appreciate it I had one bulb go out yesterday but today it’s working fine but rather be safe then sorry, plus I need to replace a high beam bulb anyways

[@tonyhopper4271]

Thanks brother!

[@BenjaminSchiltzVlogs]

I got to the point where you take the bolt from under the wheel well but they put mine right side up. You were able to take the bolt out from underneath but I can’t even get a tool in there and scraped the crap out of my hand trying lol. So I put everything back together and called it a day. I got a quote and I was told it will cost me over $200 per bulb.

[@kexray]

Thank you, replaced with super bright LED bulbs with integrated fans. 🎉Took me 2 hrs 😂

[@curtkomoroski8288]

Good video. Down to earth and simplified. 👍

[@DannyDelSC2035]

OR you can you take the tire off and the wheel well and reach it that way

[@michaelthurman508]

Thank you bro 👍🏻👍🏻

[@clydecare]

Good job. Thanks

[@TJclipz352]

that also with the 2009

[@kurtbanic6916]

Isn't that bad but my screw holding the bumper from the fender well broke so I had to drill it out.

[@JamFanHot]

Mine broke too! Thanks for the hint about the drill. I'll do that tomorrow. Caddy must have walked over to the dollar store and purchased their screws for the cars

[@jackcrisci2957]

Mine too on my STS! (pretty much the same thing). Those 7mm bolts were not impressive. At least mine was 7mm. Why, Cadillac, why?

[@mahmoudabughoush6243]

How much cost if I do it in garage

[@fixinit]

According to Google; The average cost for a Cadillac CTS Headlight Bulb Replacement is between $291 and $372.

[@carriehart5011]

Help alot

[@dkully8480]

Thank you bro

[@mobsquad7805]

Wow!! Caddy made it difficult 2 change a stupid bulb!! Thanks for the video. How much should a mechanic charge 2 replace 1 bulb?? Btw I live in jersey 2. My mechanic is $55hr

[@fixinit]

They’ll probably change for 2 hrs and finish in one hour.

[@mobsquad7805]

@@fixinit yeah 2 hrs exactly.

[@mobsquad7805]

I just found out. Thanks 4 the helpful video. I was going to do it myself. But it's not my car. It's my mom's. So I don't want to break any clips or damage anything. Thank you 4 your help.

[@fixinit]

@@mobsquad7805 Thanks for watching!😎

[@fixinit]

BTW $55/hr is very cheap for NJ

[@eyadshuman3736]

Thank you you save me a hundred twenty five dollars

[@stainless0521]

That's for the reglar filiament type bulb... What about the halogens - they are different...

[@Adamantiis]

The whole headlight assembly comes off

[@amkcdjihawaiiadventuresand1796]

Great video! Mahalo and aloha from Hawaii!

[@tregatcua9539]

Did mine without taking off bumper

[@stonemanson4884]

[@Shadyy260]

Love my lac but they make everything 10x harder than it should be lol

[@leolanderos9099]

I always touch the light bulbs with my hands and nothing ever happens

[@aaronsouthard8366]

My mom has had more issues with her 2008 cts 4 than my wife or i have had with the three BMWs between her and I. I warned my mom before she got the damn car to not buy domestic

[@thadiesel7655]

F general motors. You have to do something like this on the silverado also.. they have lost a lifelong customer. This was the icing on the cake

[@kurtbanic6916]

Everything on a Cadillac is ten times more difficult. just my opinion.

[@complexity5545]

They charge $400 for this where I live. Hilarious. Its the quickest money they can make.

[@cesarluna5588]

Cadillac out all those screws for a screwed up car lol

[@williamhenry1934]

Why would Cadillac do something so stupid. I won’t buy another due to this nonsense.

[@sandrajohns5107]

So you have to pay $200 to $300 to replace the headlight bulb

[@pursuitdatruth5635]

I’m not going to lie. My 2011 has been a b**ch to work on, but once I do it I figure it out. PLUS it has been so reliable. I’ve got 212k miles and she runs great. Never any major issues

[@brettscanlon4401]

Same here. I’ll never buy a Cadillac again.

[@tito2825]

@@pursuitdatruth5635same 2012 its only gotten the alternator replaced and it runs amazing

[@pursuitdatruth5635]

@@tito2825 yea. I’m just glad I worked in shops to do the stuff myself. But I will say. By far the most annoying car to work on. Gotta replace blower motor now. But I mean nothing big has ever messed up on it. And I mean it runs Amazon

[@donfoy4304]

Sounds like they were trying to take advantage of a woman on the labor cost and length of the repair

[@anitashaw2182]

You don't have to take the bumper off. We didn't

[@BigusDiccus]

How to bypass doing it?

[@austinftwXD]

Having only owned Japanese cars in the past and only picking up a CTS because it was a deal I couldn't pass up, I swear the engineers that designed this thing were actively trying to make some of these simple repairs a pain in the ass 🤦

[@itsmetherealme5053]

Wtf changing a fucking bulb shouldn't be this hard

[@clarkmorgan23]

This is a good video… but you need to show people how to put the assembly back inside the car. That’s probably the hardest part of the process and you failed to show it.

[@fxxhd3698]

Good job there.👍🏻 is the h11 bulbs for both low and high beam?

[@fixinit]

No. The high beam is a H9 bulb

[@tregatcua9539]

Did mine without taking off bumper

[@earth2m]

How??
