How to change HIDs in 2017 Durango

[@wutdafeezy]

I like the fact that you literally showed everything even the type of bulb. Out of all the videos we’ve seen this was the most helpful. The other ppl didn’t point out what type of Durangos they had and so their lights were different. This was the best for us and we have a 2017 r/t. Most detailed and helpful video by far!!!

[@doingishwithish622]

Much appreciated! Thank you for the feedback. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@pansykoelsch8904]

I completely agree. Very helpful video.

[@pansykoelsch8904]

@@doingishwithish622 So, I posted my first comment while waiting for the bulbs to come from Amazon. They came today and although frustrating at times, I got both bulbs replaced. Despite being a 5'0" tall female, I apparently have man-sized hands as it was a bit tricky with such little room to manuever. The hardest part for me was getting the bulb unplugged. Finally had to get pliers shoved up in there. Bottom line, I am grateful for your video as it saved me hundreds of dollars... and every dollar matters to this widowed single mom of two teenage boys!! Thanks again!

@@pansykoelsch8904 awesome! I’m glad this video was able to help you out. And even more glad that you a single mother banged this out! That’s awesome 🙏🏼

Broooo u are a life saver because the dealership told my wife they have to take her whole front bumper off to replace the lights and wanted to charge her $600 for labor when u literally just did everything wit one hand💪🏿

[@doingishwithish622]

Appreciate you brotha, glad it was able to help you out bro 💪🏼💪🏼

[@sapperjackson7132]

Imagine being quoted $360 for them to take the bumper off and install lights when you did it in less than an hour and for waaaay cheap… thank you so much brother

[@christopherwilson8488]

This was the best video I found. I changed both bulbs in 40 minutes. Also order the same bulbs in the link and they arrived the next day, probably bc I’m literally 10 mins away from the Amazon shipping center😂. Great video, really helped out.

[@doingishwithish622]

Glad this was able to help!

I’m one of the big hand guys. Tried up through the holes…uh nope…. Pulled Air Intake off the top. It’s literally right there. 100x easier. Best vid I came across though. Got me going in the right direction. 👍. (2016 Durango Citadel V6). Dealer wanted $350 per side, I was shocked. Sylvania Ds3 was $104 at AutoZone.

[@doingishwithish622]

Haha I hear ya brother! Glad you got it! The stealership prices are crazy!

[@305eo8]

Only video that actually helped 👍🏽

[@moniquewilton]

Omg! Best video for Durango HID bulb models. Actually was able to remove everything- such a tight space to work in! Thanks for sharing!

[@ejay1120]

Great video! Just replaced both bulbs today and your video really assisted me. 40 mins I had both sides done.

[@xxxceazer1000]

Thanks bro! Nobody explained how to take that clip off. Appreciate you 👍🏾

Thanks alot saved me a ton of cash having the dealer do it!!

[@doingishwithish622]

Awesome I’m glad!

[@EdCruz320]

Yeah it's 3 years after you posted your video, but thanks! You made changing the bulb easy.

[@BS-un1wk]

So I didn’t know about the access points in the wheel well and popped the hood. Looked at it and said fuck it, called local dodge shop to see what they charged to install. The guy said they are tough to do cause you have to move shit around and yada yada. Quoted $780 part included… $780!!! 1 headlight, not even both bro. Laughed at the guy. Knew it couldn’t be that damn hard so looked and found your vid after watching a few that didn’t explain shit. Cheers man, appreciate ya.

[@doingishwithish622]

Glad you were able to save a buck brother! Cheers!

[@toddwmac]

Great vid...thanks a ton. The best out there and some impressive 1 handed mantaince. Now I know what to expect when I get into my RT. Thanks again!

[@doingishwithish622]

[@415Sand]

Getting the light bracket back on takes a little pressure to get it to secure properly. I kept getting a loose connection until I finally got it to line up. I'm glad I didn't settle when I got a loose connection those bulbs get hot and would've been problems if it was touching the wrong surface. Thanks you for saving me a grip.

[@CoIoneIPanic]

Great video. I was able to complete this now thanks to seeing you do it. I hope i have your patience and if that noisy neighbor comes over i wont tell him to stfu like you didnt😅 Btw i got to the rubber bulb cover easier through the hood opening. At least on the passenger side. Peace and thanks again

I bought 9005 and found out my wife’s truck has hid. Can I still plug or I need a conversion kit?

[@doingishwithish622]

You have to use D3S bulbs if she’s got HID. I put a link in the description to the bulb you’ll need if she’s got factory HIDS

[@vanessazavala3938]

mine had the same issue and the fuse kept popping, so we know there is a short somewhere thats why, but we took it to the dealer and they said it was a balancer or something like that and it messed up because we put hid lights on when its the same lights we ordered. do you know what that is or hear of it?

[@ericarenas287]

Thanks helped the most. By the way I did have a clip. Found it easier to use flat head and wedge between body and plug and twist to get it started. Aholes as Dodge could have given us an inch more of cable. I also found it easier to put the new bulb in first then plug the cable and clip. Other issue I had was the cable to the other light. It was in the way to put the waterproof cover back on. Slid on top of cable to get in the access hole above the cable and then back under the cable to put it back.

[@ericarenas287]

Also very stupid when searching for bulbs for 2017 RT only 9005 come up at parts store. Never asked if I needed HID. Had to buy try to install and go WTF. Then when I went to go back to the store they wanted $150 for a new bulb, again WTF. While at the store I looked them up on Amazon and I got 2 for $50. Are these guys insane? Oh and when I showed it to the parts guy he says yeah but I have it now. It was 11am, Amazon delivered it home at 6pm.

[@sportmodel220]

Wow you do this swap 1 handed 👏 and I broke a nail taking the first cover off! Your Durango sounds awesome! What kind of exhaust do you have?

[@bigtony2048]

I only had my 2017 Durango 8 months and both headlights are out. Did you check the fuses first or just decided to change the bulb?

[@doingishwithish622]

I replaced the bulb on that side because it randomly went out. It was giving issues little by little, then finally gave out.

[@michaelgearhart6685]

Why not use oem equivalent or better. In my expeirance hid vary so much especially off brand or no name bulbs. My original bulbs lasted till 160k miles why change to something that won't hold up or last. Osram xeanarc 4300k are oem bulbs a good upgrade is the osram night breaker laser.

[@doingishwithish622]

Truck only has 30k miles and the OEM went out, I guess some things have better luck than others? Still running the lights with no issues till date. Light pattern looks good too!
