these directions were perfect, was able to replace my headlights in 20 minutes. thank you

[@kendallee5093]

You all are the experts!! I was able to swap out my failing factory HID's with new bulbs!! The install took me less than 20 minutes per side, and that is with me working slowly and meticulously!! Thank you! Do not remove this video!! I will need it years down the road for the next replacement!!

[@stacyeisenbraun8939]

Thank you for the video! Being newly widowed, I was able to replace this bulb with no problems. The video was short and to the point as well as very easy to follow. You saved me a ton of money from having to go to my GMC dealership.

[@eyenthesky1060]

Was this for the low beam or high beam?

[@nvillekat]

I see it’s been a year+, but I’m sorry for your loss. Bless you. I’ll admit to grinning to myself a little as I sit here, a widower, trying to see if this is something I can do myself or if I’m going to have to go a shop to get it done. I read your comment and thought, ( jokingly - of course) “If a girl can do it, so can I.” 😬🤦‍♂️ So, you’re my encouragement and inspiration! 😁 It looks easy enough - I’ll find out tomorrow. 👍🤞

All I know is this: I have a passenger side headlight shooting kind of a bloody-urine colour of light at the moment on my '17 Sierra. I looked at all the stuff between me and the head light assembly and thought - this is going to be a massive project which I will undoubtedly screw up. This video is such a help - you have no idea. Thanks for posting this.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO! No BS and straight to the point with great camera work!

[@Bingleberry5]

Thanks so much for the great video. Dealership wanted $750 to replace one bulb. I thought that was insane, and thankfully found your channel. I ordered the parts from your Amazon link, and in 45 minutes, was able to replace both bulbs. You're a life saver! I have subscribed, and will follow your channel from here on out! Thanks again!

[@ericrowland5072]

Thanks for putting together this self-help video. I was able to replace both bulbs in my 2019 Tahoe using your video. One thing I found was that it was easier to remove the connector (with a flathead screwdriver) on the passenger side bulb prior to loosening the locking ring on the bulb. Great video and thanks for saving me some money!

[@jasonharris3873]

Perfect explanation. In and out in 15 minutes since I have a K&N filter that is easy to move out of the way.

[@kaidenxoxo-f2l]

Great video! Very good explanations.and I was able to buy the bulb for $20 at auto parts shop and replace myself quickly and easily and saved the $40 for labor that repair shop charged last time. Thank you!

[@8O6Mike]

Simply the best I can’t thank you enough for making this video!!!!!!

[@rjefferyward]

My Osram replacement bulbs did not come with the white ring which the old bulbs had. You may want to mention how to remove the white bulb keeper ring. Great video thank you. save me $400.00 bucks at the dealer.

[@scottbechtel8944]

Excellent video! Easily done. Bonus: Had father son moment changing out the light behind the air filter.

[@OddballAZ]

Good video. I found the ring on the drivers side real hard to get it to rotate to get the light out. Part of it was just getting my hand in there. I used a screw driver to get the leverage on one of those tabs to get it to rotate. The passenger side light didn't have much cable at all and that was a real challenge getting the electrical connector connected to the light with such a short cable. Also those gray clips on the connectors are basically impossible to use without braking them. I broke them off and hopefully it stays connected but I think it will.

[@trentgander4111]

Appreciate you! Definitely utilized this video tonight and it got me where I needed to be. #FreeGame much needed. Thank you 11.4.23

[@ScottH]

Got to the filter and tried to move it easily like you did and nope, gave it some solid pulls upwards and nope. Not sure what to do. Frustrating cause it was the only between me and the light bulb. Any suggestions?

[@THANOS_Disciple]

did you figure it out?

[@ScottH]

​@@THANOS_Discipleno, I figured it was those molex plugs and I just wasn't tugging hard enough and at angles. The right light works and I compared the two and it wasn't much difference in brightness so I left it.

[@l.working8528]

Very helpful. Wasn’t this smooth. Knuckles are beat up and my patience was tested. Easy out, painful going back in. Good video though.

[@MichaelGriffing-iw2tb]

Thanks man! This video was very useful for me, appreciate it.

[@22TheJuggernaut]

So many bulb videos compare the best ones to buy. All of them show a low beam and high beam comparison. All those bulbs in the videos i can put in my 2019 suburban since i have seperate low/high beam bulbs?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yeah, they are two different bulbs on this setup

[@rsmenton]

The lock ring is stubborn, and hard to reinstall. Had to use multiple strategies to get it back on. Note: the bulb costs $135, it's delicate, and you'd better be super careful not to damage it while installing.

[@TexasYukon75]

Hey Danny, any chance you can tell us best replacement part? I bought bulbs that obviously don’t fit and then watch your id so now needing to order correct part.

[@THANOS_Disciple]

Did you ever find the replacement part? Are there aftermarket brands available?

I have a 2016 Yukon SLT but mine has halogen bulbs currently. Would these lights be supported with the wiring to get a better looking lights instad of having boring halogen?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

@@gildardomedina8419 they would not work because you don’t have the ballast to run it. Instead, I would look at LED bulbs that will give better color and performance and not require the ballast to run high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs

[@wizn07]

The white ring does not come with the new bulb assembly. You need to take the white ring from the old bulb and put it on the new one. Also, the cable isn't very long to enable taking the bulb out without disconnecting the wire.

I just bought a '15 SLT and the window sticker says I have Halogen Projector headlamps. This amazon product description say, "DOES NOT FIT if your car has stock Halogen/LED headlight." Am I reading this correctly that this will not be a fit for my Yukon? Or will these be a compatible upgrade for me?

Any recommendations when the bulb does work but it flickers some times? A fuse maybe? Left front side

It may be the actual ballast in that case. It’s hidden behind the bumper I believe

Hi, any idea why my Denali passenger low beam keeps turning on an off i been having this problem for the last 3 days i don’t if its just the light bulb that its about to go off or its another issue

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I would think the bulb is the most likely since a wiring issue typically shorts the system and blows a fuse. It may just be corrosion or a loose connection. The bulbs are cheap enough I’d try replacing them. Here they are on my Amazon affiliate link www.amazon.com/DMEX-Hg-free-D3S-Headlight-Replacement/dp/B07F715HCL?crid=NA4OW63CMVGR&keywords=2015+yukon+denali+DMEX+bulbs&qid=1646412040&replacementKeywords=denali+dmex+bulbs&sprefix=2015+yukon+denali+dmex+bulbs+,aps,118&sr=8-1-spons&vehicle=2015-48-558------------&vehicleName=2015+GMC+Yukon&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVTQxTVlSUUQ3V0ZHJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODM0MDAwM0U1UlVURjFUMEJIVyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTg3MTE0M0taREozMFFXN0dOTiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU%3D&linkCode=sl1&tag=2004047-20&linkId=248ff7b449600d0ccab8d3dfef525f22&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Not easy to get out without unplugging first. Also, there is a gray clip that has a latch that you have to make sure and flip up and then pull.

[@RobertMacaulay]

I broke that clip. Just the side. Hope it holds. I assume GM only sells the whole harness. If she falls out, hello electrical tape I guess.

Broke that little grey clip. ScrewDriver slipped. It's still holding though, so fingers crossed. Will check sometime between now and if it falls off to see if Chevy sells that grey clippy. Overall though, thanks! Key was the light does NOT rotate. :) I assumed it was a normal twisty lamp prior to this video. Had channel locks on that stupid square body trying to spin it.

[@JamiePace-rv8eh]

My air box does not “lift right out.” It is definitely held down somehow, but I can’t figure out what to do to get it out. I have a 2015 Tahoe

[@RobertMacaulay]

pull up on the side facing the engine away from the side of the car/ Basically lean over the fender from the side, grab the engine-side of the box and pull up. There are 2 rubber press-grommet things there. The 3rd hold-down is a slider that releases when you slide the box towards the engine

[@MartinSilva-s3e]

My 2018 GMC Yukon does not have this white plastic ring that hold the bulb. Any videos that show how to remove the bulb? Thanks.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It may not be HID headlights. I don’t know what they would be like otherwise so another KZbin video may help

[@justin.rogers]

Has anyone who has done this experienced uneven coverage after installing the new bulb? I put in a new bulb in the driver's side and the directional light is shooting towards the center line and almost leaves a void straight in front of the truck (so the light is favoring left of center and is much brighter there and leaving straight out in front a little dark). My old bulb had nice even coverage throughout...thoughts?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

There are generally adjustment screws you can turn to move the beam where you need it (unless the housing is broken or not in correctly)

[@Hc0306]

When changing the HID's do we unplug the battery

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

That’s always a good idea

[@Hc0306]

Cool thanks bro

[@toybutler6263]

Question What colour is the bulb I want to change my fog light the same colour

They are 6k on the color, which comes out as mostly white but a hint of blue. 7k would be more blue and 6k would be more yellow

[@sadielong3021]

Thank you! I just replaced the passenger side low beam bulb from your direction. I do have one question though. The auto parts place tried to sell me a small packet of grease to use to change the bulb. I didn't take it because you didn't use any in the video. What is your take on that packet of grease? I have a 2011 suburban that is different to change bulbs and have changed bulbs on it a few times and have never used that grease. I also have a 2017 suburban that I was changing the bulb on today for the 2nd time now in a few years. I didn't use the grease the first time in the 2017 either. Please share your thoughts on that grease packet. The girl was trying hard to sell it to me to prevent rust...I have never had rust on any. Thank you again!

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It definitely is something you can add to any electrical connection. It’s a good idea.
