How to: change HID bulb 2015/2016 Charger no fascia removal

[@JohnReid-jm7vi]

HIGHLY VALUABLE - Only video I found that said to turn THE COLLAR, as opposed to trying to turn the square base of the bulb - Thanks very much, 7 years later!

[@JamesG918]

2 things, thanks for the video BUT I was easily able to get to my bulb and change it from the top without having to remove the plastic inner fender at all. Just takes a bit of patience and the right feel. SECOND and this is probably more important, I had assumed when the light wasn't working that it was the bulb. It wasn't, apparently there is a fuse for EACH HID headlight (#15 and #16) check these first. In fact, all I did was swap them and I got the bulb working again.

[@Omar-um6vv]

I had the same issue🤦🏽‍♂️

[@maxjpilet]

Dang bro. I changed 1 bulb after a fight and new bulb didn't work. Thx for this tip...I'm gonna check the fuses next. 👏🏾

[@freddied41]

Thanks for this video. The dealership was gonna charge me $130 for labor cause they said they'd have to remove the front bumper. I'll do it myself. Thanks a lot!

[@perfectlyshunned8611]

This was an excellent and very QUICK way to do it. Literally three push pins removed and had this done in less than 3 mins! Thanks and do not believe any overhyped mechanic ego on here that says you should go through engine bay!!!!! Not true!

[@XanHenderson]

Thank you for this!! I wached a shitton of videos. None of them explained or showed it as good as you!

[@theknow7557]

Personally if one bulb goes out do them in pairs. It is nothing to remove the bumper, remove the whole headlight assembly and do all the bulbs. Your good for another 5 or 6 years. Outside of that great job replacing the one bulb! Cheers!

[@panama2500]

Just replaced mine today on my challenger, took me about 1.5 hours. Pulled both wheels off to bend that wheel well shroud out of the way. Used bungie cord to keep it open. Just make sure you put collor on the new light the same as it came off the old one. Great video thanx!

[@Ujskksks]

1.5 hours ? Takes 10 minutes lol

[@Menard892000]

good video man! if you guys need more room just jack up the car, take the tire off and bam!!!! way more room to work with.

[@Matthew-w5s8m]

Check the fuses first ! Just was going through this process and it was a pain in the ass , saw a comment about the fuses and sure enough the bulb was fine it was a blown fuse

[@JermaineJohnson-rb9rv]

i was just about to spend $150+ on new bulb and all it needed was a new 20 amp fuse thank you!

[@limitlesskontent4172]

I have a 2017 Daytona this helped alot

[@ashleyvazquez9743]

Really had to search up a video on how to change my headlight 😩😩 lol thanks!!!

[@thom71gt]

How the hell did you remove that white retaining clip? That's what Im trying to figure out.

[@BigjuicyJay956]

Turn it counter clock wise as well then the bulb

[@darrell5703]

Exactly! I can’t take mine off. It goes half a turn and stops. That’s it. No way to take it off without damaging it seems. Theirs just came right off

[@alfredotorres9655]

@@darrell5703 I just pulled it right off no problem

[@noeperez7928]

Just pull it off

[@darrell5703]

@@alfredotorres9655 I finally got it off after I purchased new ones. The new ones went on and off so easily. The factory ones literally felt like I was gonna break the plastic off. Scared the crap out of me each time I tried. But after my new ones came in, I said F it and I’ll break them off. After applying a lot of pressure they came off.

[@MasSmokes]

That clip is a Bxx for me man did you like squeeze it and turn counter clockwise? Because I’ve been turning it counterclockwise but it’s resisting and I even blistered a finger in the process

[@TheCoolKyle]

I appreciate the time you took out to make this video but honestly the factory headlight shade is great I don't find a need to change it.

[@estebandavilajr7632]

I just replaced the bulbs on my daughters 2015 charger and you do not have to go through this process you can do it by simply lifting hood up and do it from the top it’s easier to remove the air filter compartment to get to bulb on right side and the left side is even easier you will save a lot of time and effort,just saying

[@paulandre560]

Not necessarily on a hellcat - there is a secondary fresh air tube that comes from the front grille (true cold air induction point), and replacing the air intake box is a bear - very easy to break a tab on that intake tube wrestling it back in place.

[@derreckrobert9525]

How do you get the bulb out. I can get to it from the top but I can’t figure out how it turns

[@tonyg124]

I appreciate your time n effort in making this helpful clip. I changed mine in no time

[@angelvalentin447]

Yep I checked my fuse in my 2015 srt and it was burnt replaced it light came on thank you sir

[@abdulabbas607]

Dealer wanted to charge me 400$ just for the bulb. Thanks for showing me this! Luckily all the components that don't work are on the passenger side, much easier to get my hands into it from the engine bay. I just wish I knew where I can get a matching after market bulb. -2015 Dodge Challenger R/T.

[@warrnp845]

Abdul Abbas Try Diode Dynamics website there great.

[@RCVelezWasHere]

They tried me to charge $1100.00 at the dealer to change one HID on my Challenger.

[@abdulabbas607]

That's insane! I got a river remover pry tool and the his light at AutoZone. 200 for the bulb and 5 for the tool! What madness these guys are too much.

[@busa89]

Don’t ever buy one bulb. Replace the set. I recommend color temperature between 5500 and 6000k. You can regularly find them on eBay for $30 for the pair. The dealer is a complete rip off.

[@KillersFromTheWest]

$400?! It’s literally 45 mins of labor, which shouldn’t be more than $130/hour. Fuck your dealer lol.

[@wade6972]

Where’d you get the bulbs please reply

[@anthonymullings]

Aye thanks man the one on driver side was my biggest issue your trick helped whole process took me about 10 minutes

[@cantkilldrench]

Rudebwoymullo Mullings what lights did you buy to replace the factory ones?

[@juanvega1927]

What's up I got a regular 2017 charger did you go get those 6k from the dealership or did u buy them online they look easy to Install I wonder if they make them in 10k blue and price or website if you can find please let me know thanks

[@MATRIX19257]

Did you ever address this?

[@motifman07]

Tried this way took too long i just removed the air filter

[@TnP_GAMER]

agreed, taking the air filter and its basket out is what 2 screws and more room to work.

[@shawnbates1590]

Found it easier on the driver side to just remove the whole air intake and i had enough room to put a basketball in there. I had plenty of room to maneuver.

[@Nile528]

Thats what I did as well

[@capthelightman]

Went threw the engine bay took 10 minutes a side easy headlight clip has to be turned to release and put back on and turn it at an angle like it was when you removed it still a great video

[@jeniselindsay2871]

Thank you for this video... still too hard to get light out, so my old man going through the air thingy, lol

[@LSp8]

It's a damn shame I had to search for this video just to change a fucking lightbulb. Modern cars are clearly not designed with the do-it-yourselfers in mind. Plus the HID bulbs are $60 higher than the ones in my Caddy Escalade. $250+😵. After fighting it for an hour and ripping extra shit apart, light still didn't work. Checked the mini fuses (next to the RH headlight) and the damn fuse was halfway Melted!!! Will be going to the dealer tomorrow. I miss the simple good ol days when $10 bulbs took 30 seconds to change on every car.

[@wb2glp]

Before doing all this, check you fuse panel to make sure it’s not that simple. 20 amp fuse independent left and right circuit.

[@crazyboi1984]

Is this specific installation for a V8? because I have a v6 and changed mine out in 10 minutes just by removing the air filter housing. The other was easily accessible.

[@cantkilldrench]

crazyboi1984 what lights did you buy to replace the factory ones?

[@1leviro]

Where can i get the white thing you took off from the old bulb and put in the new bulb? Because im having trouble finding it. I have a 2014 charger RT with the new 2018 stile headlights but the regular LEDs dont fir because it looks like i need a little bracket.

[@paulhyde4899]

If I put it on and the light doesn't come on, what could be the problem? I noticed there's a little metal clip that holds the plug in place. You did not mention that.

[@gregory.chalenko]

It's also recommended to wear gloves to not accidentally touch the glass and leave oily stain on it

[@ahol9120]

Thanks for this video saved me having to take it in just to have bulb replaced as my sausage fingers couldnt reach it from above!

[@ggillock2]

Which is better...HID or LED bulb for replacement? If switching from HID to LED, is there any special wiring needed?

[@butterflydoze]

Led sucks for projectors I'm switching back to d1s on my 392

[@otvfilms]

Is there any clips on the connector? Or does it just pull off

[@ncrolle]

How do you get the connector off I'm pulling down but it's not budging. Is there something I need to press to release it

[@iFilmThings96]

When you upgrade from the yellow bulbs to the white led ones, is it just a plug in replacement? I read somewhere you need additional connectors and such to convert the bulbs

[@MrJoel2709]

The headlamps are of two types: 1. High Intensity Discharge (HID) 2. Halogen bulbs. You can get white xenon lights in either types. You'll have to check what kind of headlamps your car came with

[@corinnaortiz3705]

Thank you for this video! I was able to change my halogen bulb myself 😁👍

[@midstatesindustrialgroupin6694]

You can remove the air filter housing with (1) screw and gain access to the same area yall. No need to pop out the wheel well guards

HID bulb at O'Riley's in Texas $140 for my 2016 R/T Charger

[@deanrackley4917]

My question is how do you get the electrical connector back on, broke one bulb so far trying to do this, and these bulbs aren't cheap!

[@LSp8]

I just bent the metal flaps a little then wiggled the connector off. I just spent the last hour fighting that bitch only to find out I didn't need to buy that ridiculous $250+ bulb. It was just the RH mini fuse halfway melted and the LH ain't much better but still clinging to life. Hopefully the warranty will fix that.

[@faizanshahzad3191]

Hi. I recently financed a 2015 dodge charger and all of a sudden one of the headlight went out and then couple of days later both went out. I checked the fuses under the hood, looks all ok. Please don't advise me to go see the dealer where I got the vehicle from, they are big time scumbags. Anything you can tell me to help me out. Please note the led day lights does turn on but not the headlights even if I have it on auto or on headlights position won't turn on. Please help

[@JDSantana336]

It's the light assembly

[@TERNI2000]

you only purchased the HID bulb, no conversion kit ? i m looking for the same thing could you please give me the link of the bulb you purchased, and if you did get a kit could you please reply with the link for the same stuff you got ...i would really appreciate that , im going crazy to figure out what to do ....thanks

[@SRTMUSH]

+italy2000 if your car already has HID, then all you need is a set of bulbs in the color temp of your liking. If your car doesnt have HIDs, then yes, you need a full kit that includes ballasts, harness, bulb out warning cancelers, etc. Here are the bulbs we used www.diodedynamics.com/store/led-bulbs/listed-by-vehicle/dodge/charger/2011-2014-dodge-charger-replacement-oem-hid-bulbs If you dont have HID already, you need the full kit, ive used DDM Tuning in the past and had good results with their kits. There are hundreds of other companies that sell kits as well.

[@TERNI2000]

+SRTMUSH Thanks

[@deeralph561]

Was the piece you transfer to the new bulb hard to remove? Another guy in a video said it was on the 2012 model

i mean what type of bulb did you use?

Ronald Hopkins I purchased a replacement bulb on eBay for 40 bucks free shipping and it was just as good as the cheap one they had in their before and looks great.

[@karlanunez8118]

Where did you buy your HID light?

[@F8FULLSRT]

Funny @12:52 it shows them sliding the white locking collar off and onto the other 😎

[@Nitemare3219]

This is a bad way to do it. Going through the engine bay is MUCH better. You have plenty of room once you remove the intake, which takes less than 5 minutes. You need to be able to see what you are doing, and you cannot see through that tiny gap in the fender area... plus, I don't want to be yanking out my fenders if I don't have to. Also, those bulbs you bought look like cheap China crap. If you are going to replace your OEM bulbs, use Osram CBI or Philips Ultinons.

Washer fluid tank is in the way on the other side. Good luck with yours.
