How to change a headlight bulb in a 2015 Chrysler 200

[@VSOHOTT]

I use to have to take the whole tire off to do this.. I never thought to just turn the stealing wheel 😩😂🤷‍♂️ good stuff!

[@mattmullaney8518]

Glad I could help 👍

[@prayinghands2632]

Iusy say I was very proud doing it myself 👍🌷

[@epsala6676]

VSO haha. I took off the air filter in the engine once to get at it

[@Jncojeans1989]

😂😂

[@Shermthebarber]

Needed this video!!!!! Thank you !!!!!🙏

[@shannonstahl7848]

Thank you so much... What a game changer

[@islandtime1402]

Thanks! I'm going to look like a genius when my son brings his over later today to change the bulbs! lol

[@mattmullaney8518]

Genius!

[@jman5390]

You really helped me from beating my car to death with an ax. I never would have looked at the wheel for that little door. Thank you.

[@scottsmith1386]

An error I noticed is he states this is how you do it on a 2013, 2014, and 2015. His 2015 is a different body style than 2013 and 2014 and these instructions may or may not fit those year models. I just did my 2016 which is the same as his 2015. Do not just rip off the access panel the way he does. There is a flat, wide plastic screw at the top that you just turn a quarter either way using a coin or a wide flat blade stubby screwdriver and it unlatches. Mine was difficult to turn but I eventually got it. Do not pull out the rivit holding the bottom of the panel. It's not meant to come apart. Just rotate the panel down or bend it back. Also when unplugging the connector from the bulb be careful not to break the clip that secures the connector to the bulb. Stick a small flat blade screw driver under the clip and twist it to raise the clip out of the way so the connector can be pulled out of the bulb. It may take some effort to wiggle and pull it out.

[@characterdriver]

Thank you! The whole reason I looked at this video was because I couldn't get that plastic screw to turn on the panel and then the guy in the video says "Just pop the panel open" and I thought there's no way that could be right haha.

[@michelcarbajal1269]

I cannot unplug the old bulb! Ahhhhh 😑

[@aquilaashmire4054]

You honestly just saved that stupid screw on my car lol

[@prayinghands2632]

Thank you sir that's was very helpful and beats 260 any day👍

[@dr.mattmullaney8722]

Praying Hands26 You’re very welcome.

[@brittanyYB2002]

I am 16 years old. I have never changed my headlights before. I watched your video you said to turn the yellow thing. I did it never came off. Had to watch another video to change my light. Thank you anyway.

[@mattmullaney8518]

Brittany that’s great Brittany

[@neubauerjoseph]

Yeah thanks now I am going to LED the heck out of my wife’s car

[@quicksilver11-18]

How did you get it out if you still remember I’m struggling with it

[@xinchaomia61]

As a woman, i salute you 😂 it’s pretty fun and save my money in a car shop😅

[@MyelinMoxi]

Thank you so much for this! I just changed my lights after watching this video! Great help 😬😬😬

[@mattmullaney8518]

Kaci Bell awesome!

[@gabrielzapata2282]

Thanks you make it easy for the rest of us

[@mattmullaney8518]

Gabriel Zapata you’re welcome!

[@dlavina11]

I wouldn't pop the whole cover off like this video says. Take off the top screw only with a washer or a nickel then leave the bottom screw on since it's a rivet and a pain to put back on. Slide the cover around to get out of your way. Trust me it'll be easier when you put everything back on. All other instructions were fine. Thank you.

[@ariizonazombiiez6322]

Forreal shit is hard now to put it back on after watching this…

[@meleniedevine7475]

Such a huge help and money saver!! Many thanks!

[@mattmullaney8518]

Very welcome

[@mirandasamson5358]

Thank you!! This helped so much! Quick, simple, and to the point you’re amazing

[@mattmullaney8518]

[@saintlouisdieufait2601]

I just fixed my headlight after this video thank a lot

[@jeffhan1239]

thanks you find the simplest way

[@mattmullaney8518]

Mingjie Han I’m glad to help.

[@drakethomas9166]

Auto zone told me corporate doesn’t let them do jobs that take more than 10-15 minutes thanks to your video got it done 11 minutes after the sale and had a real nice thanks for nothing moment when I returned the nickel I borrowed from one of the employees.

[@davidbussey2053]

The only thing I would correct you on is the panel does not really pop off. There is a screw at the top of the panel that you turn a 1/4 of a turn. That lets the panel rotate out of the way. The bottom part you popped off needed to stay connected. Mine is now broken because of that. Other than that perfect.

[@theolivepatch7481]

Should've read the comments first. Same.

[@lindseysummers5351]

Same. The bottom part is riveted, at least in my car. I have to replace my other headlight right now, so this was a helpful reminder!!

[@TheWallaceLife]

THANK YOU! 👍

[@taytaymane]

That was easier than I was expecting

[@Crimsonoverlord.]

[@chandlercarr1134]

[@fredpepin8735]

[@VigneshDhakshinamoorthy]

You sir are a legend. Thanks for sharing how easy it is! Also is the passenger side as easy or complicated?

[@mattmullaney8518]

Same on passenger.

[@wesleycolas2635]

Thanks sir cuz so many mechanic man they don't know shit for real I have my Chrysler 200,2015 he takes all the bumper out just to put a light bulb and he spent all day on it

[@DevilsRe6ct]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@skipmartin5138]

Thank you sir

[@missaelcampos4939]

Did these come out white? I bought the Sylvanias XZE and came out yellow went down to silver star “brighter whiter” and still yellow

[@v1rot81]

READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE CHANGING YOUR BULB!!! There is a major glaring error right at the beginning of this video!

[@jcampanelli90]

Are these the brightess ones?

[@theolivepatch7481]

Preciate ya Matt. I'd have never found that little flap. Had a bit of trouble closing it though. Thoughts?

[@daynasha]

Me too, hard to close

[@marioromero237]

Autozone told me that this was a 40 minute process so unfortunately they weren't able to help me out lol

[@mattmullaney8518]

Haha. Awesome.

[@riverviewoutdoors9581]

At least they thought to put an access panel! I hate having to take that wheel well apart!

[@quicksilver11-18]

I can’t get the driver side bulb out for some reason any tips?

[@KinggTevann__]

About to change mine now

[@05sxt4]

Do you go through the same panel to change out the turn signal bulb??

[@nathanday2595]

(3. Years. Later.) No, you can get to the turn signal bulb through the engine bay.

[@Sabrina-ln9ky]

What bulb does a 2016 chrysler 200 take?

[@bseeds1234]

Yea, NO! Bottom of access cover is held by a butterfly rivet, which you'll have to replace if you rip it off. The upper joke of a fastener may be impossible to turn but turn you must counter clockwise 1/4 to release. I pried into pieces but was able to reassemble. Luckily I had a butterfly rivet as well.

[@lafaye85]

How did you get the rivet to pop back in so easily? I’m struggling right now with this

[@epsala6676]

lafaye85 the rivets don’t go in so well. It’s ok. You can just tape the panel to close it

[@luisdalcomune8131]

@@epsala6676 or.... you can just unscrew the screw on top.. and not rip rivets out

[@v1rot81]

Answer: he didn’t. If you look closely, it’s just kind of hanging there. It’s a major glaring error in this video. See other comments.

[@aoutlaw09]

An easy 10 minute job.

[@BAnde53507]

To reiterate an earlier comment: Do NOT pull the panel from the bottom, as demonstrated. This is a riveted pivot point. Use a wide stubby screwdriver to turn the fastener at the top of the panel 1/4 turn in either direction. I made this mistake but managed to pop the rivet back in the hole. Otherwise, easy peasy.

[@lafaye85]

How were you able to get it back in? I’m having issues with that

[@stickygreen366]

I have a 2015 and definitely don't pop the panel off from the bottom

[@ericanderson3967]

Matt's video and directions have a flaw in them. He says, "Just pop the panel off." Don't follow his example. What Matt popped off at the bottom of the panel is a rivet. You can see in his video he tries to push it back in. Good luck with that. The top of the panel has a plastic slotted screw looking thing. Turn that 90 degrees, and the top of the panel will open, and you can rotate it out of the way, pivoting on the rivet. I followed Matt's directions. Now I need to get a new rivet from Chrysler to get it put back together correctly.

[@v1rot81]

I wish I’d read your comment before I popped off my panel too. You’re right, the slotted screw at the top is how you remove the panel, then just pivot it around the rivet. The rest of the video is spot on and it really is that easy. One more tip is to raise the hood to get more light down there.

[@theflashjohnson1650]

Yeah it just fucked up my panel now god dammit

[@losmatix]

Be careful with the part about popping the peace off to access lightbulb. You're suppose to unscrew the top piece and swing it down. If you do it this way, you won't be able to pop it back in.

[@mantejwalia8660]

Twist it left or right to open that plastic screw

[@brandiplummer5092]

Great video but would’ve been even more helpful to show the other side as well .

[@RyanKemperinOhio]

“You just pop it open”….ummm no.

[@timothyjackson4788]

Bro this video is useless you didn’t even show how you had to twist the yellow thing just show your arm moving

[@squibblez2517]

Who designs this shit?! They just don't design cars to be worked on anymore man
