Thank you so much! I'm a middle aged female who has never had to do my own auto maintenance, so even headlamp replacement seems overwhelming for me. I found your instructions simple and straightforward and without a lot of unnecessary fluff and chatter. It took me less than 10 minutes. I feel so empowered now - ready to take on an engine rebuild. (OK maybe not...)! Thanks again!

[@KateKintail]

THANK YOU! I am also a middle-aged female who found the idea of replacing my headlights so overwhelming I started brainstorming ways to never again drive in the dark or the rain. After watching this video, I was able to replace both bulbs with no problem. I shrieked and jumped up and down with happiness. Thank you!!!!!!

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

You are so welcome!

Your channel is an INVALUABLE resource for ANY Element owner. Thank you so much for your work.

[@GhostGal42]

Thank you! I just got this Element 2 days ago. Didn't realize that there was a headlight out till I got pulled over 😆. That little push clip is not something I've ever seen before, but the majority of my experiences with domestic vehicles. I appreciate you talking us through. I was able to change out my light bulbs easy peasy with your help!

[@KatjamiErosEa]

Thanks from another senior female, It was done without too much effort!

[@warsthx1138]

I had a 2004 Honda Pilot same type of set up configurations, not so with the 2014 Honda Pilot I had to GO to the DEALER and got them switch out GO to KZbin and you be amazed how much CRAP you have to take off to get to your LIGHTS. GREAT work your doing.

[@bencoker]

Thank you! I wouldn't have figured out how to do the driver's side bulb replacement without your help! (2005 Element owner)

[@riledmouse4677]

Same year, same model, same feedback! Great video. Enjoy your ride! So many people want to buy mine, but I can’t seem to give it up!

[@peterlowenthal4066]

Great! did it faster than watching the video.But without the video wouldn't know the trick about the clip.!

[@kc392]

Thank you so much! The guy at the parts store would not install due to the clip. I was able to do this on my own in 5 min.

[@sayswice5621]

This is my exact car, exact color, and the exact bulbs I bought 😂 so convenient! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@projectelement4980]

You are so welcome, thanms for watching!

[@saleemkhanazad]

I appreciate you very much. I was just out there to replace the bulbs and gave up thinking to take it to a mechanic but after watching your clip I should be able to take care of it. Thank you Sir.

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

Were you able to do it yourself?

[@JackfnHammered]

I'm going to try this on my car today, your video was clear and easy to understand!

[@TratzPatratz]

Just picked up a 2008 EX-P and wanted to put in some LED Lights. found this video showing me how easy it really is. Thanks!

First light change out! Thanks for the video. -03 Element owner

[@JakeJake746]

Thanks for the video! My poor little 05 Element decided it wanted to have a headlight go out.

[@jpocketrocket]

Great camera work! The Mechanic not to bad either, I was thinking of putting LED's in my wifes 2005,we'll see how that goes.

[@soulchampion3027]

"Hopefully someone will see how easy that is." 👋 I see, and I thank you for making this easy and helpful video. Happy New Year, btw🥳

@@projectelement4980 Here I am again! One of the bulbs I replaced last year went out and Iʻm back watching the video. I just turned over 300,000 miles yesterday.

[@kellymohan3284]

Thanks for making this video, looking on KZbin is always my first step before starting a car project - even something simple like a bulb replacement! Keep it up!

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

Thanks, we enjoy making them. We are glad they are helpful.

this video won't go out of utitity until the last element dies; mine a 2011 with 115k; keep going

Gracias amigo

[@MastaniStJames]

Thank you so much!!! I know literally nothing about cars and with your easy tutorial, I did it in no time flat! I very much appreciate your no-nonsense method of instruction, your instruction is straight and to-the-point, thank God! And that little extra bit about not touching the bulb…bless you. It dorsn’t say it on the packaging and I definitely WOULD have touched the bulb if not for you. Triple A+

Awesome, we like to know that our videos help.

Worked like a charm! Thank you.

[@michelleblair7352]

Great video your steps are very easy to follow. One suggestion, on your next video please have the camera man turn down the volume, his heavy breathing made it hard to hear your instructions at times. But your video was awesome.

[@jessejamesburnitt]

I can't get that damn clip off to save my life! Don't know how y'all make it look so easy...

Very good video - thanks. That 'clip' is a little tricky unless you get a clear look at it. Two minutes start to finish, with a small light to look into back.

Big thanks!

gonna swap mine now , 2004 element original owner, its my WAR wagon, it wont die

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

Awesome, I am glad we could be a help.

[@kingmanarizona2661]

Man I looked and thought this was impossible....looked like I could not get to it and might need the dealer. So easy. Glad that piece of tubing came off easily or that would have been a knuckle buster. They just can't make these things no-brainer, can they?

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

I agree, they could be much simpler, but with that said, this is much better, than the old replace the whole light assembly methods.

[@Kizzle001]

The clip flew out on mine when I did this and it is hard to align the bulb now..

[@dkimphoto]

Shouldn’t the rubber be covering the clip to prevent water and such from splashing onto it?

[@ryanguzman942]

Yooooo thanks man!! How’s the element running so far?!

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

Not bad for 389,000 miles

[@pamelawhite4416]

Question for you. One of my low beams was out. So I went to Autozone & picked up Halogen replacements. Your video was very helpful for installation. I put them in the exact same way I took them out! When I tested the new lightbulbs, the low beams light up the top half of the light & with high beams both top & lower half are lit. I was wondering if the low beams should be the lower half only?

[@leesire]

What’s the answer? Getting ready to change mine now. I’ll check the good one.

[@pamelawhite4416]

Lee Sires The way I installed them seems to be working just fine! Easy peasy install!

[@leesire]

Pamela White, thanks Pamela.

[@leesire]

Pamela White took less than 5 mins and it seems to be working great. I love my Element. 250k miles

[@user-ub4pj2ps6d]

good

[@paulczerner3286]

what about the electrical contact grease? It was recommended by the parts store.

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

So, the parts store recommended they sell you something else so they make more money? I am sure it can help, but I am not sure it is necessary!

[@victorpayne1076]

Lol the person holding the camera breathing is cracking me up

[@crieverytim]

Not touching the bulb - safety issue or avoiding fingerprints?

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

They say that the oils in your fingerprints can cause per-mature bulb failure.

[@crieverytim]

@@RepentanceAnabaptist thanks!

[@fortnb]

Is there only one bulb for low and high?

[@projectelement4980]

Yes!

[@fortnb]

@@projectelement4980 high beam works great low beam is out

[@projectelement4980]

@@fortnb So, you need to replace the bulb. There are two filaments in each bulb.

Guy subtly mouth breathing in the background is hilarious

[@imcannabess]

I just attempted this and it was a nightmare. The spring popped off, fell down into my engine, then it started to dump rain. I gave up.

[@RepentanceAnabaptist]

That sounds like how things normally go for us. Hopefully, you found it and were able to get it installed properly.

[@peterp1158]

It's the Element telling you not to mess with it! lol

[@Bluesidian]

why didn't you turn it on to see?

I did, I just didn't film it. Sorry, we did not think of it.

That clip is a bitch... ended up losing mine!! Dropped and and it disappeared.
