I couldn’t get that some buck for nothing but as soon as I did two grunts, that some btch came right out! So did a buck on the wood line when I did it 😂
On the 2012 Acadia's left /drivers side it ha to be done this way. Yet on the right / passengers side, all you have to do is remove 2 bolts for the coolant expansion tank and one bolt for the AC line. Remove the tank and you can reach inside the fender to replace the bulbs. EASY!
LOL Thank You. Hey have you looked at jerky subscriptions? I just subscribed to one that sends different jerky from all over the USA to try. Click this link to check it out. bit.ly/3p8XCZk Thank You for your comment and for watching
Thanks Van! Loved the video and more importantly it worked like a charm. Way quicker than some other videos I dug up in the past. I think I was only 5 to 6 grunts in by the time I got it finished.
Thank you for your video. Out local mechanic said it was 2 hours for each side, like $300 to do the job. They said they had to remove grill and headlight housing. You are a wizard!!
LOL, Thanks.. I called a local Goodyear before I tackled this.. They were wanting $400 to do it. Saved tons of money on this one Thanks for taking time to comment and as always thanks for watching
I really enjoyed your video! We need more humour in our world! Especially the dogs watching. I often say they are our biggest fans! Lol! One thing to remember is to never touch the halogen bulb with your bare hands. The oil from your skin will burn when the bulb heats(it gets very hot) and will end up killing the bulb very quickly. If you do touch the glass part, you can use 99% alcohol on a very clean towel to wipe them clean.

Thanks Van. I did it the long way and took the wheel off and removed the whole plastic fender liner. Takes longer but much easier and didn't destroy my hands. For those not pressed for time and that can easily lift a vehicle, I recommend the long way.
omg!!!!! i had to look this up but had to look at it multiple times!!!!! this guy is great. for anyone that didnt know most of his jokes came from the movie SLINGBLADE. Thank you for helping me and also making me laugh
I did this on Saturday. I made some noises but they weren't grunts. It was more like "mother f***ing, engineers made this as difficult as humanly possible."
Yes the worse vehicle I have had to deal with yet! Tried to drain my tranny and the bolt is blocked by the exhaust. I have to disconnect the exhaust to take the bolt out.
Everything about the GMC is an engineering wet dream to piss mechanics off. I swear. Every single thing on the vehicle is a fight or designed like garbage!
You know I will watch whatever you post. I have a 2000 Subaru and it just happened to me. I was afraid to drive all the way to my mechanic son's place of work. I went down the street to Jiffy Lube and they did it for 23.23. I didn't think that was too bad. Thanks for sharing. I'm a smaller person so I don't drive the bigger cars or vans.
My problem was with trim screws on passenger side. Top screws went out easily. But bottom three stuck. Had to use Dremel tool to cut-off them. Looks like acidic debris along curb did good job killing 3 screws/speed nuts.
Thanks!!! Best video I seen helping those that have no clue what we're doing but know we can!!!!! I had to close my eyes n tell my son hush so I can see lol
Two grunt noises is a must! 🤣 too funny, I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for the info ! Going to change my bulbs right now! Like someone else said we need more humor in this crazy world , you made it fun to learn 😂 “ and if you can’t see what you’re doing, close your eyes 👀 “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
Love your video!! Your funny! I think I'd make more than 2 grunt noises though 😂 and GMC ...really!! Through the wheel well!! No wonder I couldn't figure out how to get to it under the hood like a normal car! I think I'll just use my high beams and pray 🙏 I don't need this car much longer 😂😂 GREAT VIDEO 👍
Awesome, thank you..I started down the road of the other way to change just a light bulb and thought there has to be an easier way. Glad I checked. Took 5 min to replace.
We don’t have our Acadia anymore. It was a pretty good suv. Had to add Freon once and had to add some stop Leak to the radiator. I made a video for both. I think the headlight was the worse thing though lol.
man I love this video you are f****** hilarious dude. the first video I watched they had me taking the axle off pulling the motor taking the bumper off all types of crazy s***, I like yours
Yep Exactly the same way... Thanks for the question. Good Luck. Dont forget to close your eyes and feel.. Have a good one. And as always thanks for watching
I have been putting off doing this for a year driving with one headlight because I am scared of electricity and getting shocked do I have to disconnect the battery which I heard is behind the passenger seat
We were just quoted $400 to change both lights on the driver's side. Then he called and said it would be another $900 cause water got on the computer? i don't if this guys is full of you know but any advice would be appreciated. We have a 2012 gmc acadia
I’m having trouble getting the bulb to come out. I know I have to turn it a bit but which way clockwise or counterclockwise? Because I’ve tried both ways and nothing and I’m afraid of breaking it. If someone could please help me I did everything else correctly! I just can’t get it out to change it to a new light bulb! And I’m 10 grunts in 🤣
@@VansWorld thank you so much for responding, so my 2011 acadia Denali seems a bit different, there is a box with like a clip holding it close, I took a picture of it and tomorrow I’ll try again because it looks like the clip is supposed to come up to open it. I don’t know but that’s ridiculous how gmc didn’t think to make this stupid bulb more accessible, so so stupid! 😂 again thank you so much!
No problem. A guy at work owns a suzuki car. When his headlight went out it costed him $800. They had to remove the fender and front bumper to change the headlight. Idk why they make things as simple as a bulb hard to change unless it’s their way of providing more income to the dealerships.

😂 this is the best comment I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It made my day. 😂
@@VansWorld 😂😂 🙏
This is one of the greatest headlight changing videos I've ever witnessed. 🙌 thank you sir 😂😂😂
“Make a few grunting noises makes it easier too.” Appreciate the video
The grunting definitely makes it easier. And fun lmao 😁👍

Haha. Good deal. 👍😁 have a great Easter weekend
I was just trying to learn how to change the head light but I think I found my fave video ever😂
You made my day👍😁 thank you
I swear his fun personality definitely made me subscribe n I was just trying to learn how to put my lightbulb n lol ❣️
Thank you!!! Your video is the first video I clicked on!!!! With the comedy and knowledge my stepdad is changing my lights out as I type this!!
Lol. Thanks. My wife says my voice in the video is annoying. Haha. I hope your dad got it fixed for ya. Have a great week 👍😁
Hey, wait a minute! Why don't I have a stepfather to do this for me? 😆

To remove headlight assembly, you do have to remove grill.
I need to take one course of community College class for this. Good job gmc
"Wiggle it a few times, more than that you just playin with it"😂
Thank you! You saved me from spending a ridiculous amount of money having someone do it for me.
I really enjoyed your video! We need more humour in our world!

😁
This video not only helped me with this at work, but also made everyone who heard you, laugh. Love it man
😂 thanks.
This is such a great video... saved me about $150 which was the quote the software GM dealerships have to use to price this. Thanks for your help
Is that $150 just for one headlight?
@@VansWorld Yes it was
I did this on Saturday. I made some noises but they weren't grunts. It was more like "mother f***ing, engineers made this as difficult as humanly possible."
😂
Yes the worse vehicle I have had to deal with yet! Tried to drain my tranny and the bolt is blocked by the exhaust. I have to disconnect the exhaust to take the bolt out.
In my opinion world's worst headlight design
@@Kenneth-ny2oxhmm mine wasn't, 2011

I was about to pay someone. I’ve been trying to get sick for a couple days. It’s bad today. Must be the pollen 👍😁 thanks for watching all my vids 👍😁
He is so funny and informative at the same time I love it lmao
I have been dreading putting my lightbulb in my car! it was just that easy after all
thank you
I’m glad you got it changed out. People have commented unreal mechanic prices to change the bulb.
My problem was with trim screws on passenger side. Top screws went out easily. But bottom three stuck. Had to use Dremel tool to cut-off them. Looks like acidic debris along curb did good job killing 3 screws/speed nuts.
Ouch. That sounds like my lunch. 👍😁
You make it look so easy but I know better than to try it for myself. I'm not very good at things lol Great video I hope you have a great week
I hope your week goes great too 👍😁
My mechanic messed up the headlights and this saved me $$ and a fun little drive back down.
Great video thanks for posting such a easy fix. hardest part was getting the screws off in the wheel well due to rust and debris
👍😁
Thanks!!! Best video I seen helping those that have no clue what we're doing but know we can!!!!! I had to close my eyes n tell my son hush so I can see lol

What will also help is turning the front tire in as far as you can. This will get it out of your way.
That's great advice. I love helpful tips like this one. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great week 👍👍😀
Thanks a million Doc . Was wondering if I was going to have to remove the front of the motor just to get to a light
No problem. I’m glad the video helped. And thanks for the great feedback
If you can't see what your doing, close your eyes!!😂
Have you ever tried to ride a bicycle with your eyes closed lol. I have when I was a kid. lol
My favorite part.. haha
Close your eyes and TURN IT! 😂
We gonna tuuurrn it and make some grunting noises with our eyes closed.
I cracked up when he said this
If you can't see what you'r doing close your eyes. "Got to love it."👍😎😀
😁
I pull the engine out myself. It takes a little extra time but definitely worth it
For anyone thats going to do this if you turn your wheel inwards it gives you a bit more room and makes it a bit easier.
OMG I have tears!!!! Best example ever!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
😁 thanks for the awesome comment. And happy thanksgiving 👍😁
This is the funniest video ive seen in forever
Each and ever thing you said i was saying the same thing. Lol with your eyes closed. Lol right!!! 😂
Thanks lol. 😂
Got it done! Took awhile…. Go Dawgs
OMG I love this video! Easy like Sunday morning! 😂😂
😂
I sang easy like Sunday morning at the exact same time as you lol😂
😂😂😂 too funny. Lol
Just finished
Good humor, suscribed. Knock out the suspension next
Lol. Thanks brother 👍😁. We traded this on in a couple months ago for a Kia Optima. Have a great weekend brother and thanks for watching
You’re the best
Thank you for posting
I subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that
@@VansWorld You’re very welcome. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, thank you..I started down the road of the other way to change just a light bulb and thought there has to be an easier way. Glad I checked. Took 5 min to replace.
Awesome. Have you had to add antifreeze to your Acadia yet haha. It sucks too. Thanks for the feedback and for watching. Have a great week 👍😁
@@VansWorld no not yet. I've heard the early ones like 07-11 had the major issues. So hoping our 2012 will be better. It has 85k on it
We don’t have our Acadia anymore. It was a pretty good suv. Had to add Freon once and had to add some stop Leak to the radiator. I made a video for both. I think the headlight was the worse thing though lol.
@@VansWorld I think we are about due for the Freon. Just doesn't feel as crisp cold like it used to.
Helping out a friend in need my man!🎯 I got her done
The metal piece the balb goes in to connect to the balb came off with the head light ??
A lot easier than how I was trying to do it lol. Thanks 👍
Sling blade. 🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh.
Alright then 😂
Thanks for the info. Really didn't need the shot on the dogs
I think that was pretty necessary
LOL! Make a few grunt noises! Great Vid My Friend!
Haha
The dog at the beginning is like “what you doing now” 🤣🤣
man I love this video you are f****** hilarious dude. the first video I watched they had me taking the axle off pulling the motor taking the bumper off all types of crazy s***, I like yours
😁👍 thank you. I really did close my eyes and felt for it 😂
I started singing the same time you did the same song. 😆
😃😂
Wow! Amazing. Saved me a lot of money.
Glad it helped!😀👍
Full on sling blade has me laughing 😂👍 great video
You're a hoot! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Bill Cox says "Van is one Eli Whitley when it comes to headlights on GMC Acadia's" 🙂
😂😁
With this i can replace both the headlights & fog lights?
Was that the highbeam light that you replaced?
It’s listed in your owners manual
I left a like...really helped me
So helpful! Thank you!
Appreciate you that was easier then it looked
Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you got it fixed. Have a great week and stay safe
Best tutorial video ever !!!
Thanks for the video... maybe turn the wheel in to get more arm room.
That would help. 😁👍
Guess I should finish it off with some French fried taters. Great vid brother
Haha. And a mustard biscuit 👍😁 thanks for watching and for commenting. Have a great week
Thank you, love the video
Do car designer go to special classes to make stuff almost impossible to work on?
I believe they do. Haha.
Thanks for being so cool!
Question. Since it’s AWD can I just jack up the car and take the wheel off for a better visual? Or will it mess up my other tires or anything ?
It won’t mess up anything. You can do it that way if you want.
Just do it the way shown. Crank wheei inwards.
Love the dog edits😂😂
Wish me luck I’m about to try this out 😅 good thing I got small hands
Awesomeness ♡♡ are the grunts optional?
😁
Well at least he is singing the right song. Now I know I can do it.
Man you sound like sling blade lol.. Appreciate the video
How about the one the left ?? Do i do just the same ?
Yep Exactly the same way... Thanks for the question. Good Luck. Dont forget to close your eyes and feel.. Have a good one. And as always thanks for watching
Thanks for your help 🤗
Glad I could help. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me. 😁👍 have a happy Easter
Easy like Sunday morninnnn😂
I have been putting off doing this for a year driving with one headlight because I am scared of electricity and getting shocked do I have to disconnect the battery which I heard is behind the passenger seat
Thanks got mine all changed out.
It stinks that both go out at the same time. 😀👍
Thanks I was going to take off bumper
Yeah this design sucks lol
Thanks for the info
How do you aim them both lights are pointing down and all the way to the left. Don't light the road at all
I did one grunt noise and I couldn’t get it until I did the second grunt thank you I should of paid more attention 😅
We were just quoted $400 to change both lights on the driver's side. Then he called and said it would be another $900 cause water got on the computer? i don't if this guys is full of you know but any advice would be appreciated. We have a 2012 gmc acadia
I did that, note my acadia won't start!
Please help!
Not sure how to fix that. I am so sorry your having an issue like that. Maybe it’s something simple. Good luck
Right on🎯🔥
I change my lights out and now they are pointing outwars any idea on what i did wrong
Sure don’t. Sorry.
Love it thanks 😊
Awesome thanks

Part number of the bulb ?
This is ridiculous how you need a fcking mechanic nowadays to change a damn headlight bulb!
LOL I feel the same way
You can make no more than three grunting noises to for pulling it out and one for putting it in lol 😂
I do work in the dark somtimes.All you gotta do is feel
Yep 😁
Ty hate that they started doing it this way
Me too 😁
@@VansWorld changing mine tomorrow see how it goes lol 😆
What's the part # or bulb type??
Make sure you close your eyes 😅
man, this helped a lot!
Thank you so much
What bulb do they use some say H7's some are sayin H11's like wtf
This is not easy! Trying to turn it to get it out is driving me flipping bananas!
