How To Replace Your 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 Headlights

[@MightofSatan]

This was so helpful, i did both my headlights and foglights at once following this guide. I did not have to take the screws out from the bottom of the bumper, the 10mm bolts on the sides and the 4 pop anchors at the top was all it took. Thanks!

Hello I just got back from installing my new headlights on my 07 Chrysler 300 Touring. Last week I tried to do it WITHOUT taking the bumper off. No Bueno couldn’t reach the bottom bolt to the headlight. So my bumper came off according to your video. I also bought a box of plastic clips , different sizes. I also figured if I was taking the bumper off I’ll just swap out the fog lights. New LED fog lights. Well 2hrs later the job is complete. What a difference & the front almost looks brand new. Can’t wait to try it out at night. Thanks for your video I studied it the last 2 days. Saved a lot of money on labor & I enjoy working on my car. Thanks again!

Thanks for video. FYI for anyone changing headlights on a 2009 Chrysler 300. I changed the headlights today and there are 3 (10mm) bolts behind the plastic wheel shield on both sides holding the front bumper cover in place. If you only have one bolt, then someone did a shoddy job and didn't replace the bolts. You do not have to remove the bumper cover from the car, you can just remove those 6-10mm bolts and pull the bumper cover forward and let it hang; you will have all the access needed to change the headlights. Also, you do not need to unplug the side markers if you do not remove the bumper cover from the car. Additionally, if you use the correct grommet tool (don't know exact name, but it looks like a 2 prong fork), you can remove and reuse those plastic clips at the top of the bumper cover under the hood (i.e right tool for the job). Those plastic clips at the wheels are one time use, so be prepared to buy new ones.

What are the clips called ?

[@Methodical2]

@@Kaotix Unfortunately, I do not know. Call the dealer and explain what they are and they should have the official name.

[@tomgarrett687]

The correct tool for the fasteners would be great. My 2005 only has one 10mm bolt on each side.

[@Jim-Wade]

Thanks for the help. Engineers who design things to make them harder to work on should be shot. Instead, they get promoted because the dealers can make a killing doing otherwise simple tasks. After fifteen years, I discovered the left assembly never had the bottom screw installed. It didn't line up just right so they skipped it. This car has 240k miles on it and the only major work done has been to replace the A/C compressor, and replace front suspension parts. The engine 3.5L engine is still strong, but I'm holding my breath regarding the transmission and rear end. No signs of issues yet, but they can't last forever.

[@kjc1878]

I totally agree 👌

[@DornanTheRemnant]

I almost lost my shit working on these. I had to fucking break my old headlights where the bulb connects to the casing because the fucking bulb would NOT unscrew. and then when I installed the bulb on one side would not screw IN! Could have been previous owner bought wrong bulbs perhaps but holy FUCK i could not be a mechanic bro god bless them.

[@RoganRicheart]

You can fix them. Some wet sanding then clear spray afterwards and mine look great.

[@3ldesconocido424]

Wrong thats the trash way to do it. Wet Sand with 400 Grid then, 1500 Grid, 2500 Grid, Final steps Polish with Heavy Compound fluffy pad then Finish wax with Sponge pad and 100% clear no Clear coat needed clear coat will only last up to a year if lucky before the same thing happens again

[@RoganRicheart]

@@3ldesconocido424 Would it last less without clear?

[@PIHYT]

Just replace them … Amazon has some for like 60 - 100 bucks 👍

[@jmmx69]

Wont last...youll spend more money on sand paper and sealer in the long run than just replacing

[@RoganRicheart]

@@jmmx69 mine last like a year when i apply clear. I would buy but have projectors and 300 for a car this old not worth it in my opinion

[@deganash7767]

Would like to see the bracket inside the bumper, where you take 10mm bolt out. I'm missing it on my 300

[@shanedsouza7508]

Great video made it so much easier thanks mate

[@mr.sinister1279]

I took my lights without removing the bumper.. jus get a large screw driver wedge it in between the light n the bumber n you’ll see the screw.. get a long extension n 8mm socket n u can get it out wit no damage to the bumper.. faster n easier

[@bxpak1975]

I was thinking the same thing thx for the info.. also what size screw driver wedge can I use?

I hope changing the fog lights is much easier than that how would I go about that?

[@LivLuvLol76]

Just what i needed thank you

[@doeboy7849]

Didn’t need to remove bumper my lights look great now!

[@biggworm6655]

What's the other way to do it without removing the bumper? I'm going to be swapping my out soon.

[@Bezirksverwaltung]

I would also like to know please

[@martinmeaders2067]

Thank you.

[@dartareusffxi]

Thank you 🙏 so much for making this video.

[@williamwalker8721]

If you dont wanna go through all that...buy a t27 star bit that is magnetic that goes on the ratchet and a long extension...and just push down on the top of the bump... and put the extension through and line up the star bit with the star bit bolt on the bottom... its way less work and time. Took me about 10 mins to do both.

[@midnightterminator]

Great tip! It's worth it to but a few tools and save hours of work. Thank you!

[@altonglover9802]

Great lesson just purchased a used 300 and the lights look terrible

[@simonmoore5770]

What is that stuff called on the old lights the foggy stuff?

[@emmetthouse5600]

Man that's a lot of work 😕 thanks you for sharing 🚙🚙🚙

[@user-yt4id5np9f]

Not really you just gotta do it for the progress. If it was easy everyone would do it

[@jose2144]

I thought it was a lot of work too. But Taking the bumper off is the way to do it. I was hesitant but when I did it it was so easy to replace the headlights & fog lights. Car looks so much better

[@hectorboyar4321]

Great video 👍

[@austinhiggs7257]

Thank you sir, used this video to install my new halo headlights !! Well done.

[@chrisgarvin2135]

[@valerielawrence8669]

Thank you, I called the dealership & they want $650 to do this, I can do this

Hey man help me I bought a 2006 Chrysler 300 see from bumper and put it on my regular Chrysler because I didn’t wanna lights I took it off A Chrysler C my question is would I be able to add Chrysler c headlights

[@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC]

If the 300C bumper fits, then you should be able to use the 300C lights. But we have not tried this exchange. Good luck.

[@kevingonzalez3519]

@@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC okay man thank you I just hope there not going to be extra extra Wireleing

[@charlesseara8502]

Those clips on the wheel well have a little button in the middle that you lightly depress and it comes loose.

[@Mr_57ChargerRT]

I have a 2004 Chrysler 300m Special and i see it's the same as mine. you gotta remove the front bumper just to replace a bulb .btw great video👍👍

[@Cristiann392]

I have a question so I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 and I want to buy some new LED headlights but they are usually 2008 300c / SRT so with that being said would those headlights fit in my 2006 300?

[@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC]

Crxst6n - They should fit your vehicle. However, I would make sure you buy from a company that allows a return for a full refund before purchasing the headlights in case they don’t fit.

[@midnightterminator]

300c and 300 headlights are not compatible because they are shaped and wired differently. If you want to convert your stock halogens to LEDs, you can just change the bulbs.

[@midnightterminator]

Thanks for the help. I am about replace my OEM HID headlights, and I was looking for a tutorial. My twin 2006 Heritage Edition 300c are both in need of new headlights, but other than that, they are in excellent condition. Do you recommend removing the front facia to access the fog lights for replacement?

[@bossjazzguitarplayer3052]

Thank you for this video. Really helped.

[@WAYWAY92]

Thanks

[@richforeverflawda6030]

Thanks i gotta 06 3.5 ima replace mine

[@Methodical2]

No adjustment is needed for these style headlights? My parents have a 300 LX, but I see lights for 300 C, but they look to be the same. Will these headlights work? Thanks...

Wouldn’t been easier to clean the headlights? I literally thought you were upgrading them to some special headlights that had angle eye or some fancy colour.

[@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC]

Cleaning the is fine. But this was needed.

Thanks for the video, wow what a pain in the a$$ just to change headlights, should be as simple as taking off headlight bolts that hold the headlights on then remove and replace. Thanks Chrysler,

[@arturdav1723]
