Glad you posted this. I was expecting there to be bolts underneath I'd have to get to. Much easier than I anticipated. Although, like yours, previous owner busted a post and most the black covering
Thank you for putting this video together for others. I need to do my mothers vehicle in the cold tomorrow as well. I decided to look it up before even looking under the hood. You probably saved me a Good hour or more in the cold tomorrow. If not more. Hate working on new vehicles
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped with the process, I have to tell you even with the help of the video we also broke the bracket on the passenger side so it might just be a thing that happens. Thanks again.
Cause the cold stresses the bulb that's why. When the bulb is lets say 5 degrees and all of a sudden you go out to open your car the bulb turns on and the rapid change in temperature at the filament stresses it out and burns it up. Man if only some genius would figure out a design where the current is slowly delivered to the bulb, especially when its cold, we would gain so much more life out of the bulb. Guess it's pointless as mine finally burned up and I'm at 130k, I'd say thats pretty good life and I bought the car at 43k, so guessing it never had new bulbs put in.
Easy! Awesome, mine just burn't out for good I think, it burnt out a few months ago then I think the filiment flung into place and welded itself back together and it worked until now but I'm guessing that filament has burned up now. Way easier than my Wife's Malibu where I had to remove the entire front bumper and 100 snap pieces what a pain in the butt!
Hi bubba! You actually only need to remove the first two bolts. There is hole on top that you can stick a flathead screwdriver down inside to release the whole headlight apparatus!
drektech you are totally right!... I will adjust my video to make a note about it. Here is the manual for the 2008 vue, as a PDF, showing those 3 plastic screws as an extra step (page 5-46): www.saturn.com/content/dam/saturn/northamerica/usa/nscwebsite/en/Home/Owners/Owner_Resources/Manuals/en/us/2008/vue/2008-saturn-vue-owners-manual.pdf
Thanks bubbamex12. I was wondering why it just would come out after I removed the top 2 crews. I didn't know about the one under the skirt. This was a big help.
Try to take a flathead screwdriver and lift them up as you unscrew. Chances are, they have been pulled off already and the inside threads are messed up so they won't unscrew out.
This just isn't specific enough man. I really appreciate the video, but it isn't helping me very much because you assumed too much about my knowledge. I am mechanically minded to do small car repairs, I've done them on past vehicles, but I had exact instructions. The problem is that I've never worked on any part of this Saturn before and I need to know exactly from Step A to Step Z how to do this. There are so many little plastic plugs and bolts that you already had taken out before the recording began that I am apprehensive about it.
+mirzda ... Sight unseen I am less handy than you, and maybe/probably one of the top 5 least handy men of all time, and I don't feel at all confident that this video was of much help, but, unless there is another video out there, I'm going to take the shot...We'll see...
Thank you!! Helped out a lot :)
Thanks for the video, it's helped me a number of years ago and I'm refreshing the memory for another round, much appreciated!
Thank you very much for sharing this.

Thaaaaannnnkkk you!!! I've never done anything ever on a car and you just saved me hella money!! 😊 both went out at once! 😂😂
thanks for the video. I have to fix my brother-in-laws head light on his vue this week.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I just changed the same bulb and your video prepared me for the job. 👍
One of my moms screws are broke any tips
Which screws? The plastic ones or the screws for the bracket?
Thanks what is name of plastic bolts to screw back in all my bolts wasn't there sad

Thanks for the video, the manual really does suck and the hidden bolt threw me for a loop. Good one
Thanks for the video. Now I can do it myself!

Thank you!! Saved me a bunch!
Thanks! Why do these always need to be changed in 10 degree weather! Thank you for helping me find bolt #3.

Right. Doing my mothers for her now.
Thanks so much for this video. Just to save me over $100 trying to get a mechanic to do it.
Nice
Couldn't find that third one. Helpful. Us a philips head on the small ones not a flat head.

thanks man very helpful!

Just replaced the bulb on a 2008. Had to follow this video. Yours was well done, but doesn't work for the 2008.

RandomStuffFixer not on the 2008. you actually have to get all the screws to change the bulb
Thank you.. very helpful
Thanks I didn't know there was a hidden bolt
Thanks. The owner's manual sucks.
Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks, because the manuel that comes with the car is useless on this topic
Thanks bubbamex12. I was wondering why it just would come out after I removed the top 2 crews. I didn't know about the one under the skirt. This was a big help.
Bruh why wont my black screws twist off? Just keep spinning. All of em.
Try to take a flathead screwdriver and lift them up as you unscrew. Chances are, they have been pulled off already and the inside threads are messed up so they won't unscrew out.
Thank you so much! Without this video it would have been very challenging for me to figure out. Keeping in my Saturn Vue forever!
Thank you! They just run you over the coals to put these in. Thanks for the demo!
