How to replace GMC Terrain headlight bulb the easy way

[@GarageKing]

Thanks so much !!!!! I do appreciate it :) Thanks again and hope you are enjoying your weekend :)

They tried to charge me 180 dollars to change the fog lights and low beam headlights. I’m now at auto some buying a T 20 screwdriver to access my low beam lights I already have the fog lights installed all you have to do is reach underneath the front bumper lol

My guy. I’m 59yo female. Instead of paying $50 at the dealership, I paid $18 for the part at AutoZone and followed your instructions. Took me some time to get the cap back on, but videoing my process helped! TYSM

Now you are a 39 y/o woman who knows something !! And will continue to learn more. Very happy you were able to tackle this and empower yourself :) Have a great weekend :)

[@def8017]

IMPORTANT TIP - the H11 bulbs come with an orange polyurethane washer at the base of the bulb. This creates a seal when you put the bulb into the socket. When you take the old bulb out this washer often sticks in the socket and doesn't come out with the bulb. That makes it impossible to get the new bulb to seat and twist-click into the socket. MAKE SURE THE OLD WASHER COMES OUT WITH THE OLD BULB OR REACH IN AND TAKE IT OUT BY HAND !! BTW - great video ... short, well scripted and very accurate.

[@GarageKing]

Thanks so much for the great and detailed comment and tip !! Sounds like what can happen to oil filters if your not watching and the ring stays on the engine. Thanks !!!

You could also just get LEDS safer brighter cheaper 🤗

[@GarageKing]

You certainly could, LED’s are a great way to go, less heat and energy and they last. Good suggestion !!!!

[@microlonincmanufacture4621]

It's real hard not touching the bulb when I can only get one hand in there. I recommend putting the new bulb in, then attach the cable. I heard you don't touch the bulb is because the oil from your hands will burn off and fog the lens. Probably won't have that problem with the LED bulbs.

[@mahudnell28]

Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank you!!! We've been driving around about 3 weeks with a new bulb in the vehicle without knowing how to change it. The auto parts store where it was purchased didn't have a clue. I had a feeling I would find it on KZbin and when I saw rhe length of your video, you were my first choice! All videos should be like this (straight to the point) without all the unnecessary stuff. You have another new subscriber. Now can you do a video on how to stop the oil consumption of these SUV's?

[@GarageKing]

Thanks so much !!!! I appreciate the great comment. With how to videos on things like this, brakes, and other maintenance I try to do the videos as short as I can because when I search for things I'm the same way :) I don't want to hear someone rambling on forever. As for the oil consumption its a major issue on these vehicles, and there are there are lawsuits against GM in Canada (not sure about other countries) The problem seems to stem from the design in the PCV system where things get plugged up. To keep the PCV operating at full capacity you have to keep the oil vapours that circulate in all gasoline engines as clean as possible. I think to fix it, its a bigger job, as you would have to take the intake manifold off and clean everything, and then install something like a catch can to prevent it from happening again (because it's going to happen again, it's in the design of the engine) While I have not installed one on the Terrian, I have put catch cans on a lot of other vehicles and they purpose of them is too keep oil out of the intake manifold. Some vehicles are worse than others for oil consumption so they are not needed for all engines, but I find the good quality ones do work. I'm a licensed mechanic so I have seen quite a bit, and this KZbin channel is a hobby for me where I can make some cool videos :) The terrain actually belongs to my friend so if she brings it to me for oil consumption I would make a quick video on it for sure !!! I do have more Terrain footage, I just have to edit and upload, and I like to vary the vehicles every week. Here is a shorter video on catch cans for your general knowledge kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIKoYqR7qbVrmrM Thanks again !!! GK

I found this video and had her get a bulb and driver.. she did it herself.. in the dark... that cop just sat there.. waiting ...she finally get things going and leaves ....the police officer went to drive off as he follows her but doesn't turn on even his head lights... big rig come through and knock him into the shoulder of the road, and cop car flips. I asked my daughter if she stopped.. she said no.. he made me a big girl, changing my light in the dark.. he's a big boy too...he can get out of his upside police car by himself. he doesn't need my help... karma waited an hour of patience to right a wrong... but your video was the best 5 minutes of my life to help her...

You have one of the best videos on changing these headlights, any chance you could show how to change a High Beam bulb as well?

[@GarageKing]

Thanks and I appreciate the comment. The car was my friends car. If I remember correctly you can get the high beams out, you just have to reach a bit more, but it can be done the same way. OK - edit, I just watched the vid, and I'm remembering, I think you can get to the high beam with a little more twisting. If you have at least one high beam working make sure to turn it for a check to locate the right bulb, and then turn off, just so you know you are replacing the right bulb.

My son has a 16’ Terrain, he was wanting some brighter bulbs, still has oem. It doesn’t have the access on the inner fender, I’m guessing just remove inner fender would be the same difference. I think they did away with the access maybe 15’ or 16’ model? They just made it more difficult when they did that, probably in hopes that you would take it to their “stealership” to get it done. We have an 18’ Acadia and a Sierra, both of those are so simple to replace headlight lamps, just open the hood and nothing in the way.

[@GarageKing]

Hey Thanks for the comment. Yup I have heard from a few others that GM did away with the access hole in the newer years. Personally I think it was to save a few dollars per vehicle. You have a good idea, and I think the same, if it were me I would try with the inner fender 1st, I would think that's a lot easier than taking off the front bumper !!!

Might be good to note that not all terrains have this panel, and on some of them like my 16 SLT, you will have to remove the whole fender well cover.

[@GarageKing]

I learned that after the video as some commenters came forward and told me. Its too bad that GM changed the design, but I did hear from some others that attempted your style and they said they were able to get to the light by loosening and pulling back the inner fender which is much easier than the bumper. I can't confirm as I never tried it, but figured I would let you know.

[@michaelbaxter8249]

Thanks!

[@GarageKing]

Thank you for the comment :)

[@DiscoveringTheArtofLiving]

Wow! I wonder if it is this simple for all vehicles! Great tutorial! I think even I could handle this! I knew about not handling the new bulbs. I think it is because the oil on your fingers can cause the bulb to blow when it heats up... is that correct?

[@GarageKing]

Most are pretty simple. A lot of the headlight changing vids on KZbin are like 10min, so I wanted to take a different approach and see how a quick one would do. Plus you know its good science as eventually the results of different tests get shared on MoneyTree. You are right its the oil from your fingers that cause the bulb to blow. These bulbs get super hot and any oil on them will boil and cause a variation in temperature in the bulb and the unequal temp causes them to blow. Very important not to touch the glass. Thanks for the great comment and happy Friday to you :)

I checked my engine in the parking lot on and sure enough, it was bolted and inaccessible without tools I don't have with me. Looked under the wheel well and 🤯

You know it :) Thanks for the comment and I enjoyed reading your story !!!!

Thanks

My terrain doesn’t have this entrance.

[@GarageKing]

Sorry to hear that. I did receive a few comments where people said they didn't have the access hole. I'm not sure exactly when GM stopped making the hole, or if it was just for certain models.

[@TheRoadDawg]

You could show how you accessed the light to begin with. Too close-in to actually see where to go. Thanks for the video even still. It certainly helped once I knew I had to go under the wheel well. Regards…

[@GarageKing]

Good point, and noted. Thank you

[@madison8208]

I was told this would take an hour and was quoted between $160-$190. Screw that!

[@GarageKing]

All in a two minute video right !!!!1 Just beware that some of them, for some reason don't have that access hole, so take a quick look at yours to make sure you do :)

[@rehtuluv]

Yeah the dealer tried to charge me $100 to change this. Hilarious!

[@GarageKing]

You know they try !!! Good on you for changing it !!

[@juanMacko]

If you touch the glass just clean it with alcohol wipe

[@GarageKing]

Good call, a wipe with alcohol usually does the trick !!!

[@samcuratolo3885]

easy enough except there is no cover on the inner fenderwell on my 2016 terrain so i have to do it the like most videos show...bummer

[@GarageKing]

That’s too bad and I wonder why GM would take such a good design and discontinue it. Probably saved a buck a vehicle or something.

[@noro305]

My 14 does not have it either

[@noro305]

@@GarageKing like everything else... so you take it to them and pay to replace them

[@GarageKing]

@@noro305 That's too bad, not good for GM to do something like that

[@GarageKing]

@@noro305 That's what every manufacturer wants, they don't want people to do it yourself anymore :( Newer vehicles don't break down as much as the older ones, so every chance they get, they want you to bring it in. They design vehicles to discourage the average person from working on them.

Why I can’t get my cover off to get to the low beam. I have been twisting and turning for about 10 mins

[@GarageKing]

Once you take out that torx screw, you have to turn counter clockwise, and then it should release. My guess is there is a bunch of crud in there. You have to make sure to line up the teeth when you unscrew so you can pull the cover off. If you go a bit too far then the teeth are not lined up to come out.

[@darrellegriffin2882]

How would you remove a stripped screw from it?

[@GarageKing]

Hey there, if you are talking about the torx screws there are two ways. You take a cut off wheel (faster) or a hacksaw blade (slower) and file a slot in it. Then turn it with a flat head screwdriver. You can wedge a very thin tool under it when you are turning it and that will help when you turn it (in case its stripped into the receiving female end. Or you could take some vise grips, or good pliers, grab the head and twist. The wedge tool (if it turns but does not come out) would be something like this amzn.to/3CPg8dX Sorry about the late reply, just seeing your message now.

This procedure does not work for 2016 ... Same tool needed but small hands too

[@GarageKing]

Thanks for letting me. I had heard there may have been something with 2016, but I wasn't sure if it was a trim level (some had the different style). You are right, small hands in this situation really help !!!! Thanks for the comment and hope you are enjoying your day, its almost Friday :)
