Job can be done from in the fender well. Takes about 10 minutes per light bulb.

[@princeofdeath7696]

Leave it to GM to make you disassemble the front half of the car to replace the headlights!

[@Fulano5321]

Thanks! We got the job done... Only took us about 3 hours. :)

[@67Bulldog]

Much appreciation for this video! Just changed out both lenses on my 2009 Traverse and save for a couple of broken bolts due to rust, everything went just like your instructions.

I've owned a 2014 Traverse since it was brand new. I do all my own maintenance - including oil changes. When I first started working on the vehicle, I used to wish a lot of bad things on the person who signed off on the way is designed. Then I realized something: It wasn't just this vehicle. That person probably has a long history of allowing this kind of thing with no regard to the impact it has on hundreds of thousands of other people (There were nearly a MILLION Traverses sold between 2009 and 2017). They are probably the most disliked person at any company they work for. Their family probably doesn't even like them. I kinda feel sorry for them.... until I need to change a light bulb again.

Hi there I just want to say “thanks you” very helpful video very simple and practical. It helped me to get my job done the right way. 100% good video

Just finished replacement on a 2017 Traverse. Instructions here were right on! We found removing a bolt from the support bar attached to the quarter panel allowed for more room to remove and re-install the headlight. My only challenge now is that the amber light in the headlamp is not working. I hope it's just a loose connection but going to have someone check it out when it gets adjusted. Thank you for the thorough instruction and video. It saved us about $600.

Just changed my headlight assembly. This video was very helpful. Thank you..

[@erickenny82]

This is for replacing the light fixture. Not to replace the bulbs. That’s already a PITA in itself

[@HipHopVersusCrap]

Thanks for the video!

[@ronkerouac309]

Do you remove the driver side the same way

[@sebastian-gi6gk]

Tansk the help a lot

[@mariannawilliamson2045]

Why would anyone design a car with this much work to change a headlight

[@atanasiosanchez5631]

Quiero saber si topa la dirección cuado da vuelta

[@russell_poppi]

There has to be an easier way just to change the bulbs?

[@xHadesStamps]

Dang, all this just for a headlight assembly (by which I mean the bumper cover)? Horrendous, GM!

[@FrankenJhingx]

Un fucking believable

[@javiermartinezsanchez3426]

Bien

[@lewisautomotive9853]

Missing several important removal sequences

[@bucksnortbumblefuk6872]

And they say cars have evolved over the years. Haha.

[@elcomandante9299]

Being careful as to not break any plastic as accomplished in this video.

[@Vmartin70EZ]

All this trouble to change a headlight bulb? From an American Manufacturer....what a shame.

[@allenboe5654]

The sad thing is we had a chance as a nation not to bail Chevy out in 2008 and then they wouldn’t have had a chance to design a stupid headlight system like this to begin with. I’ve changed exhaust systems with less effort….

[@Razzule]

If you want to save time and effort and just replace the low beam light... watch this video instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGerhoBrYp2ZlaM

[@timfoster7979]

Not for headlight change. Much easier to come in from wheelwell to do that. This is to replace entire light assembly

[@sross6443]

Ha ha I am a female and I did it!

[@jasonross3500]

They really made this so you have to got to chevy to get that simple ass shit done for 400.00 plus the light assembly cost 600.00

[@baldohernandez1236]

Damn, you have to dismental the whole thing just to replace the headlights.

[@bmbxiii2045]

Why so complicated??? 😮

[@chamwow168]

What a joke, should take 10 seconds, thanks Chevy

[@AllenStenhaus]

I am so glad I stopped driving American vehicles. Korean cars are so much easier to maintain.

[@amallogisticsllc599]

Stupid car

[@danross5510]
