How to Install Headlight Bulbs in a Dodge Caravan

[@LouisPFoulnzwater]

As a non-dexterous young lady with who never took shop class: I always approach projects with my van with the complete and perfect understanding that there is a strong likelihood I will break something irreparably during the process. I am not a handy lady! Your tutorial kept me from fatally injuring my vehicle and myself, so thank you!

[@katymarsh1968]

Thank you! I'm very pleased with myself for being able to change the headlight on my own after watching this video. -Katy

[@sneddiful]

I LOVE this and other videos I have used to replace and repair my 07 grand caravan. the fact that I can do these things without taking it to professional, makes me want to KEEP my mini van. Im a girl!

[@gabbygryphon]

THANK YOU. Now that my I'm divorced and my Dad has passed I need to do these simple type fix-it's on my own. Bought the 9007 from WalMart earlier and will replace tomorrow morning. Looks easy enough.

[@mrarain6188]

Catherine G maybe u can help me with some suggestion, the bulb u mentioned that u bought from walmart, is it bright enough? Are there more brighter bulbs available wich will support my dodge caravan ? Thnx in advance

[@usedcars6680]

Thank you for the perfect, concise information on benefits / consequences of failing to line up the screws by hand first, when inserting the headlight. It sounds patronizing, but I would be "that guy" who strips out the screw landing, and it would fail to engage net time!! Very thoughtfully done, sir. I chose yours because it was short... now I see also concise. Not one second of my time was wasted. I've " liked" and subscribed today. People around used cars for sale all the time need to know how to fix cars. You rock!

[@bumpintheG]

Thank you I'm getting ready to replace my whole headlight, I am watching your video now to prepare myself☝🏾😜👊🏾🚐

[@HARBRINGERZERO]

I always come back to this same video every time my headlights go out on my 2003 Dodge Caravan. Short, concise and to the point. 👍

[@digger8963]

This was great, took like 15 minutes to do both sides. Very clear cut on how it was explained. Thank you very much. Boo to those who did a thumbs down.

[@skinnydavenport407]

I love how simple this design is. I want one of these vans. I like when the headlights are round or squarish because it makes replacing them easier. I her these new cars with the scowly narrow headlights are going to be fun to fix when they start getting older. Cars just get crappier and crappier.

[@bjzwrld]

Don't know WHO WOULD dislike this. THANK YOU!!!

[@duramax78]

Thank you, those little tabs took 6 days off my life, but you stopped it at 6 days, cheers from Canada.

[@scottcochran67]

Thanks, You made it real easy for someone who was clueless.

[@timothyhobby6546]

Well done video production. Very professional and easy to follow. Made my job replacing my bulb very easy. Thank you.

[@katnapper1966]

Thank you so much! 51 yr. old female here, not very mechanical (especially with vehicles) and I changed both my headlights all by myself thanks to your video. Big hugs to you for sharing your knowledge and putting it online to help others!

[@northshorepc1]

Thank you for this video, including the tip on not touching the bulb! The person at the auto parts store included a small package of some special contact grease to keep moisture and corrosion out of the connection to the bulb. It looked like the original bulb did have this stuff on it so I did use it. Also, another comment below said to check the new bulb before putting the housing back in and I was glad I did, the first new bulb did not work but I had purchased the two pack so I tried the other bulb in the package and it worked fine. Saved a few minuets and returned the bad bulb and now I have an extra in the glove compartment just in case the other bulb goes out. Thanks again

[@CoolAuntSusie]

Great instructions! I'm clueless when it comes to cars but I was able to change a headlight thanks to this video.

[@FogoFox]

CoolAuntSusie Haha! You are welcome. You are now on the path to becoming a regular mechanic!

[@ldbenj]

This was very helpful as I wasn't sure how to get that retaining ring out without breaking it. One thing to mention for anyone in the South or any other humid environment, you need to apply electrical contact grease to the bulb prongs, to keep them from corroding and to make sure that you can disconnect it easily when it eventually has to be replaced again.

[@raymondmora2642]

You were awesome. I'm a retired mechanic. And you explain it acute. How to do it and what not to do. Thank for refresh course. This is different from the whole headlight replacement

[@jmcab69]

both my headlights were out, watched this tutorial in 3 mins and walked away confident enough to fix them, no problems. Thank you

[@pdelaureal]

Very good..just what I needed to know. Brevity is the soul of wisdom.

[@clivebrown45]

Perfect! Succinct, well filmed, accurate advice. Just what I needed, saves me time and stress. Thank you

[@leopardsita]

Thank you so much as a single woman with short term memory problems I was never so glad to find this video thanks so very much

[@jjaagg5050]

Thank you! My wife actually had a little "boo boo" and busted the lense. So now I have to replace the entire assembly. I thought it was this easy. Thanks!

[@Strongman1977]

Thank you for your awesome video the only one I found with lots of detail in how to put the light bulb in from start to finish so thank you keep the good work out man

[@enargins]

Thanks for the helpful video! I found that when lifting up the two tabs to remove the bulb (0:50 in the video) that it's easiest if you just use your fingers to lift up the tabs, and then pull the bulb out with your other hand. Works great!

[@JuliHoffman]

Thank you for posting this! Changed the bulb without a hitch!!!

[@snuff2023]

Thanks for this video man! My headlight has a leak in the seal somewhere so the past few times it stormed bad over here I had quite a bit of water in my headlight and caused the bulb to blow. Need to get in there and fix it

[@Ukesclub]

That was the perfect tutorial. Plain simple concise! Thanks!!

[@digbads]

You saved me a ton of time and grief. Thanks!

[@charlesespinelsenior]

Thanks sooo much. I walked through your explanation in the car, and it worked! Very much appreciated!

[@imakeuhatem3]

Thank you for making my life easier.

[@neeosstuff7540]

[@toronado455]

By far best video on this subject!

[@jimkulerski593]

Great video. I had a feeling this was how to change em but it does not hurt to double check!

[@Reverendkenny]

Thanks!! You saved me a half an hour!! God bless!!!

[@MrWebster]

Thanks great video. Made changing the bulb extra easy.

[@tommeisbell3628]

It worked for me, being that it was my first time it only took me 15 mins. Thanks!

[@fatebegone]

[@williamdrewes7905]

Thank you, i just got a bulb and tried to figure it out myself, i pulled the whole air cleaner housing out and there is a little hole and could not reach it, so looked it up and i was doing it wrong thanks :) merry Christmas.

[@451hist]

Great advice! Thank you for posting!

[@bigrich1381]

Thanks for being very thorough. I'm headed to Advance Auto Parts now.

[@mikegruber172]

did you finish yet

[@piggly-wiggly]

Getting those locking tabs to release is the hardest part. I spent several minutes with a screwdriver trying to get the tabs away from the bulb assembly. I think the trick is to keep twisting the bulb while you pry up the tabs in order to gain a bit of a start that you can keep working to free up the bulb. However, this was a walk in the park compared to changing the bulbs in my 2006 or 2009 Prius.

[@XoTicGunner]

This video was extremely helpful thank you!

[@bengunn9451]

Very clear instructions. Thank you.

[@anaatanasio1]

thank you, you make it look so easy. I am going to replace a bulb now ;-)

[@MrK9hq]

Nice job on the video. Very helpful.

[@photomom6310]

GREAT instructions!!! THX. Very clear and concise.

[@MrSheckstr]

Trying to do this right now but I cannot get that ring to twist off, we have had an assload of snow in the last month and this vehicle has been sitting outside the whole time and hasn’t been run that much, I think moisture has gotten in there and frozen. Thinking about either using a hair dryer or disconnecting the electrical connections for both the head lamp and the turning bulb and bringing it inside to warm up.

[@soundbeings1]

[@ankurpatel1702]

can you upload the video hot to change ACTUATOR SWITH OF BACK PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR for dodge 2006 or 2005 caravan nice and excellent video i ever seen. like steady camera and clean instruction by which i can easily can do anything THANK YOU

[@jontheman3527]

Excellent explanation.

[@joepflager7783]

Do you have anything for 2012 caravan? Most guides say just rotate the socket and pull it out. That works fine on the driver side but, unless you are plastic man, it's almost impossible to reach the socket on the passenger side. What can be easily removed to give access?

[@TheFozi76]

Awesome. Very helpful. Thanks👍

[@jamiegallion5248]

You are a lifesaver!

[@pyrstaf]

Thank you - you made it easy!

[@Kneelin83]

thank you for posting

[@keytothegate68]

If your metal clips on the head light are too rusted or broken and you can't re attach the bolts use cable ties or wire to run it thru to secure the headlight

[@bethsanford9076]

Yay! It worked! Easy peesy. Thank you!

[@vladikirov]

Thanks very helpful to me too:)

[@MrRuiner213]

very good...i have an additional problem you may be able to help me with. When my park lights or low beams are on, one of my beams does not light up.....same when my low beam headlights are on, but when I turn on my high beams , the opposite lights engages and the other side now seems to be burnt out. I have bought and replaced new bulbs three times with no avail, could this be my high beam switch or a relay switch or something else....thank you for your considerations....regards ...Peter

[@bobbarrow8492]

+Peter Lykow I have the same problem, did you find a solution??

[@FogoFox]

Crazy. I hate electrical problems, but from what I know about them, the first thing people say to check is for a good "ground" connection. After that, shooting in the dark, I think you are on the right track looking at the relays. They should be pretty cheap to replace or fairly simple to troubleshoot if you just pull them out and test them on the bench...

[@Rockyhuynh2009]

Peter G Lykow you have the wrong bulbs

[@LegionofLoom]

Thanks! Now I'm off to change me light.

[@kadishasteward23]

Wait till I show my date I can do this on my own😂😂 can you say married! 😂😂
