I know I'm late, but I am so glad I came across this video. The dealership just gave me a quote of $470 + tax and I was like "the devil is a liar," I'm a female but my step dad was a mechanic so I may not know my way all around a car but I do my research and if it's something I can do I will, if I wasn't afraid of my car falling on me I'll get under there and change my own oil instead of taking it to the dealership
Thank you for this video! A dealer quoted me $300 for a bulb and $100-$200 in labor to change my headlight. Thanks to you I bought a bulb for $70 and did it myself.
Thank you. Dealership was going to charge me $300 for one bulb, plus $35 for the install. Amazon price for two is now $119 though, but still a huge savings!
Thank you for this post. Just got a quote at the dealership this morning for $400 to replace one on a 2015 Impala. I’m ordering the bulb off amazon right now.
Thank you for taking the time to post this video! I saved myself $325 by buying the bulbs off Amazon Prime and doing it myself like you did. My bulb was also broken as yours was. I removed the cover for my engine air filter to give myself a little extra room to work.
Thank you so much! I had to use a flathead to help wiggle the old bulb off my 2015 Ltz, but after that it was just as you said it would be and was simple and I’m a woman! I feel accomplished! Thank you! I literally saved myself $600 for both. I changed them both and they work perfectly
Thank you so much for this video you saved me a ton of money. But showing me how to do this myself. There's not many videos for this particular headlight change. Once again thank you.
Thanks for the advice. Seems really doable. I was of buying the LT and making it look like a Premier and the headlights were the most important aspect.
Darren Duggal the halo light will require you to install complete new headlight assemblies. The bulls I replaced here are the HID bulbs that go inside the the halo assembly.
@@randomhowtovideosforregula4761 Hi sorry if this is a dumb question. my left Halo light is not working. So fitting this bulb from Amazon will do the job?
Thanks for the video. Some suggest disconnection the negative battery terminal first. Not sure if that is just a general precaution or because these are a high voltage discharge system.
Dealership wants to charge me $300 for the bulb and $250 for labor. That’s for one bulb!!!! I think I’ll try this first. Ridiculous what Chevrolet wants to charge!
Trey G I k is it’s crazy. I hope this video helps you. I still have these same bulbs in my car with no problem. Work just a good if not better. $550 for a headlight bulb was crazy.
Can you just turn the bulb counterclockwise or do you have to you use a screwdriver/tool to release a catch somewhere? I tried to turn the bulb but, it doesn't want to move. I'm afraid to break it by using too much force.
The item to turn is the white bracket. I thought it was the silver bulb housing, but it is not. It is the bracket you turn counter-clockwise from the rear of the bulb. Place the bracket onto thew new bulb at 180 degrees and then turn counter-clockwise and seat back into position, Turn the bracket clockwise until it snaps back on and the ends of the bracket are 180 degrees. I used a screwdriver to help turn it back on as in the video.
for those having a tough time, it's very stiff. Someone with stronger grip that can pull it out may be needed. It's as was shown in the video though. Pull out like a usb thumb drive.
I have LED Bulbs on mine and they work amazing. $60 for the pair, LASFIT is the brand and they're on Amazon as well. They come with a built-in fan to keep them cool.
LASFIT LEDs are not compatible with the stock HID headlights. LEDs will only work with the stock halogen headlights. Check which one you have to make sure they will fit.
@@kevinellis8967 So, I ended up removing my headlight assembly, and it was a broken wire. While out, I briefly looked and did not see a way to replace the bulb assembly. Of course, I would have put in extra effort to look further had the broken wire not been so obvious.
Kellee Arrington there is a plastic grommet that hold the bulb in. At 2:56 you can see the grommet. It twists a 1/4 turn then you can pull the bulb out. Twist the grommet towards the outside of the car to remove the bulb.
If you want to upgrade these lights your not gonna be able to switch them over to led unless you take the factory ballasts out and put a after market hid kit system in I recommend paying the money and getting gtr lightings kit there the best I bought some for my 2016 Chevy Malibu premier and there great the only thing is that the factory projectors were not made for them so the beam patterns kinda weird but it looks great when you out in the highway.
Edit: for those having a tough time, it's very stiff. Someone with stronger grip that can pull it out may be needed. It's as was shown in the video though. Pull out like a usb thumb drive Need a suggestion too. The connector itself doesn't jiggle out as easily as shown in the video. Squeezing it and pulling with a fair bit of force doesn't budge the connector out
I appreciate this video my friend. My bulb just went out on my 2014 impala and the dealership is trying charge me an arm and a leg. I was wondering if you still had the link to your Amazon purchase. I see this video was a while back & I'm having a hard time finding the exact same part or similar. And I also liked and subscribed.
Very good and informative video but I would be more impressed if you showed how to change that pain in the azz side marker that's a real challenge thanks

Whatever you do, don't go cheap or off brand. I bought some from xenondepot and burned out in less than 10 months. I just put in some Osram 7000K bulbs and they look good with the halos.
@@randomhowtovideosforregula4761 I have one important question for you I seen you do the installation of the light bulb but I am curious when you use the screwdriver what did you have to do?... I wanted to know how do you screw the bulb into back into the harness is it just a simple turn or you have to use the screwdriver to press on it to pop back in place

Unfortunately mine wouldn’t come out. I was so hopeful. That bulb doesn’t budge!

To set up the halos do you need a conversion kit? Or is it just plug n go?
Thank you for your public service
Thank you!
Would you happen to have the bulb part number?
Thanks and have anyone had to replace the halo bulbs mine went out on driver headlamp or do you have to replace the whole headlight assembly?
I did the same thing. Just don’t forget to vacuum out old glass from broken bulb
I wonder if I can replace the soft white bulbs with bright white ones.
I have LED Bulbs on mine and they work amazing. $60 for the pair, LASFIT is the brand and they're on Amazon as well. They come with a built-in fan to keep them cool.
Can you share the link of yours and will they fit a 2016 model?

@@CJ-222 oh you right I completely forgot hid have a different bulb
Thanks man.
Joey Splats anytime. Glad it helped
Did this HID light come with the car or did you use a HID conversion kit? Trying to replace the Halogen lights on my 2015 Impala..
Does factor come with the 4300 or 8000
greay you did the easy side
Thanks for saving me from removing the front clip for a stupid lock ring😂😂
How did you set up the halo rings on it? Did you do it yourself?
Next time remove your fuse box cover. Gives you way more space to play around with. I found out the hard way too lol.
Haha ending up doing the same
Is the highbeam and low beam in the same bulb?
Thanks
Thank you thank you thank you
What does this have to do with the actual Halo illumination (does it have it's own bulb?)
Does it? My halo ring is out as well

When you removed the headlight do you pull up then out or do you twist it out?
Kellee Arrington there is a plastic grommet that hold the bulb in. At 2:56 you can see the grommet. It twists a 1/4 turn then you can pull the bulb out. Twist the grommet towards the outside of the car to remove the bulb.
I have a 2014 Malibu LTZ and I don’t have a twist off there’s screws thanks for video do
The interior cap dropped in your video and I ran into the same issue. How did you fish it out?
Me too
Hello....my ring does not light up but the main headlight is fine. Is there a seperate bulb for the ring part???
Is it? My halo ring is out as well

What color is this bulb mine is like a light blue?
Does it work with the LS ?
Will D1S work ?
Which one do I buy from Amazon
I’m looking now it’s a few
even when squeezing and pulling to get the old bulb out it won't come out any suggestions?
There is a white grommet that needs to be twisted then the bulb comes out

I was told they have to take my front bumper off in order to put my bulb in. But I’m going to try this myself
tflo73 It can be done on your own without removing the bumper for a fraction of the price. If your somewhat handy you will be ok.
