Next on the list is the replacement of the lens with clear ones. I kind of put the cart before the horse, but wanted to see how I liked the DRL Switchback LED lights first. I think they will look great inside the clear lenses. I plan using the same method for installing those. I hope I can sneak them in the opening.

I just replaced my drivers side signal lamp for my C-5, it was easily done through the top. I didn’t have to turn on the lights, there’s a knob to manually open the headlamp. Also, once I removed the headlamp door & lowered the headlamp back down into the fender with the manual knob there was enough room to easily get into the area where the signal lamp went. Your video was extremely helpful because it’s not easy to replace the signal lamps.

Thanks so much for the excellent video. My 2001 C5 started with the "disco" light show two days ago, and it was the first time it did this since it was brand new. Your video is very clear and easy to understand-even I could do it! I used the top through-the-headlight method and had no problems with easily getting it done. However, when I tested the flashers and turn signal afterwards (while everything was still disassembled) , it still was doing the same thing-rapid turn signal and emergency lights! Well.... Seems the guy at Autozone, where I bought the bulbs (I changed the large amber and small clear bulb) advised me to squeezed some "bulb or socket lube" down into the sockets before plugging in the new bulbs. He said the GM plugs can be burned and this would be good to help prevent that, if they were OK now. So I did. It made no sense why the new bulbs didn't work. After giving it some thought, I pulled the bulbs out and wiped off all of that lube that I could. Presto! That was the problem-they weren't making contact because of the lube. Guess I overdid it with the stuff, but anyway, after cleaning the contacts they now work perfectly. Again thank you for taking the time to make such a straightforward, well-done video. Saved a lot of money, and I appreciate it!!

thank you for a GREAT explanation and video. i found a "third" way to it. (if you arm is small enough) remove the hood adjustment rubber stopper near the headlight. ( you will need an Open End 1/2" wrench. Carefully loosen the nut, keeping in mind how many turns you turned, so as not to replace the adjuster out of the proper height. After removing the adjuster, reach in to remove the side marker socket and bulb and replace the bulb. You can do it with one hand. This is really the fastest way to do the front side marker light bulb change.

Retrieving the lamp from below worked well. The problem after getting it loose was gEtting the build assembly with both hands to carefully remove the bulb. Moving the brake vent down allows the harness and bulb to bE in a far better position for bulb removal and replacement via the exterior brake vent opening. Thanks for a concise video! Appreciate the help.. Wonder if it is advisable to snap the plastic spring type keeper off of the bulb holder to allow easier extraction in the future??

Good Video! There's no need to remove the painted headlight lid though. You can easily access the bulb by putting your arm in through the side of the headlight assembly. It was large enough to fit my large arms. You might want to quickly remove the hood bumper bolt to give you even more access. That's a lot easier than removing the lid.

I’ve been changing bulbs in my c5 for a decade plus. They blow out whenever water splashes up there. All you need is a Phillips head screw driver. That’s it. Take off the black bezel. Reach down and unscrew the bulb from the plastic light assembly while light is still up. No torque driver needed, no removing headlight covers etc. I did mine today in 2 min 45 seconds stop start to finish with engine running and lights up. I timed it. I should make a video as well :D. IPeace. Cheers.

I already made that video on my channel but you are doing way more than is necessary. My way needs no tools and you don't have to remove ANYTHING, just unplug the socket and bulb . Add to that, there is a specific reason that the bulb is blowing. Your lens housing has developed a crack ON TOP of it due to the heat exerted on the top of the housing by the bulb. The way to avoid this after replacing the housing is to use a L.E.D. instead of that incandescent bulb. That will eliminate the heat that melts the housing, which allow water to drip down on top of the bulb and blow it. Remember, the bulb is vertical and it faces UP, not down so the water has to drip DOWN onto the bulb in order to blow it. I've been working on the C5 for almost 20-years now and there is nothing common that you will see with this car that I haven't addressed.

@@carquestions Every fix that you mentioned are ones that I have done extensive writeups on, including the starter motor that breaks off the block (and takes some of the block with it), the wheel bearings, leaky output shaft seal, erratic turn signals, blown head gaskets, dim radio lights, drowning wiper motors, oil pressure sensor replacement and a ton of others that are common to the C5. I even show how to replace the DRL housing by removing the front facia, so that you can retrieve your build sheet that is stored inside the frame. I had them posted on various Corvette forums but the scene changed and I quit posting. I let my Photobucket account lapse since I quit doing technical writeups so if you find any of my threads somewhere, they won't contain the many, many pictures that were always included in my technical writeups.

Hunter is right, IF you have slender arms, and though it will scrape you up a bit maybe, going in the brake duct vent can take as little as 1 minute per side to swap the lights. It's tight, and don't try it alone - I got kinda stuck at one point. Take your watch and ANY jewelry off. For the passenger lamp, lay on your right side and go in with your left hand, opposite on the other of course. I put in LED - saw a red dot on one side of the bulb, wondered...hmm, polarity? but saw no mark on the socket so put it all together and.. no light. Undid it, flipped it around - light. So make sure the light works before reinstalling, duh. Hardest part, twisting it in securely but it just has to travel maybe 1/4" of rotation to lock in place. I used this same techqnique last year on my turn signal lamps, it is the ONLY way to do this easily. Chunky arms.. fuhgedaboudit. Find a skinny friend.

Does anyone even know what the skde marker lights are used for? the little tiny one. I just replaced the housings yesterday and now I'm curious. The main amber bulb blinker blinks with the blink or hazards on, but when does that smaller side bulb even turn on??

G Pro - The purpose of side marker lights is for other cars to see you when approaching at night from a perpendicular angle like backing out your driveway - they are mandatory safety items and on all cars and trucks - they must turn on anytime you turn on the parking lights or headlights. - Cheers from Canada

one more question on the 2002 C5 why is there not a light (at night console ) to let the driver know were to place his or her shift (automatic in drive or reveries????) I bought this Vet a year 1/2 ago only drive it doing the summer time ; My jeep brock down as I am repairing it; now I have to put my (blue lady in the elements of nature and road grim) corvette in harms way ; will follow your comment . Its all good ; better then trouble shooting a ring laser gyro on a 747

I have a addition and a correction. You do not I repeat, you do not have to take. The headlight covers off the top painted ones. Only the black with the headlights up. You can reach your hands down in there. Have you get the black benzel's off Once again save yourself some time and possible screwing up your head like cover Paint

My C-5 is a 2004, there’s a fog lamp switch right above the trunk opening button on the lower dash to the left of the steering column, you may have a switch to turn off your fog lamps on yours too.

Leave your screwdrivers on a big magnet overnight and the screwdriver will always hold the screw from dropping into the depths of no return....turns it into a magnetized tool. Like me.

LEDs burn cooler? Makes sense. My bulb casing was pretty warped, but still functional. I'm guessing I won't be so lucky next time, so I'm going to follow your advice. Now I have to get off my lazy butt and replace the plastic gears in the headlight assembly with the new brass gears. Grinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, grind. What a noise! Oh, and the column lock bypass. Corvettes are worse than women, always demanding attention. ;)
