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 😂
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
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!
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.
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
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
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 👀 “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
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.
Thats soo true about the humor and the oil on the bulbs. 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. 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.
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 👍
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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
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’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 😁👍
Thanks for this! Helped me fix up the wife's headlights. Extra grunting noises did make it easier!
This is literally the best video I have ever watched in my life
LOL Thank You.

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? 😆
Thank you! You saved me from spending a ridiculous amount of money having someone do it for me.
I need to take one course of community College class for this. Good job gmc

To remove headlight assembly, you do have to remove grill.

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 👍😁
I really enjoyed your video! We need more humour in our world!
Especially the dogs watching.

I had it on a lift where the wheels hung down an turned and it was still hard. Easier. Coming out than in. Mad props like cuz did it
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
"Wiggle it a few times, more than that you just playin with it"😂
He is so funny and informative at the same time I love it lmao
I like your SlingPlayer impression
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.
Same
I'm thinking this is the way to go 😳uffda!!

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 👍😁
My mechanic messed up the headlights and this saved me $$ and a fun little drive back down.
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.
The metal piece the balb goes in to connect to the balb came off with the head light ??
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

In my opinion world's worst headlight design
@@Kenneth-ny2oxhmm mine wasn't, 2011
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!
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
👍😁
Good camera work. I would have never got that bulb out of the socket.
Thanks
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. 😂
With this i can replace both the headlights & fog lights?
OMG I have tears!!!! Best example ever!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
😁 thanks for the awesome comment. And happy thanksgiving 👍😁
I pull the engine out myself. It takes a little extra time but definitely worth it
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
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!
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
Got it done! Took awhile…. Go Dawgs
OMG I love this video! Easy like Sunday morning! 😂😂
😂

Ouch. That sounds like my lunch. 👍😁
A lot easier than how I was trying to do it lol. Thanks 👍
Helping out a friend in need my man!🎯 I got her done
I sang easy like Sunday morning at the exact same time as you lol😂
😂😂😂 too funny. Lol
Thanks for the info. Really didn't need the shot on the dogs
I think that was pretty necessary
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.
Was that the highbeam light that you replaced?
It’s listed in your owners manual
So helpful! Thank you!
If you can't see what you'r doing close your eyes. "Got to love it."👍😎😀
😁
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.
You're a hoot! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
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
Wish me luck I’m about to try this out 😅 good thing I got small hands
Thank you, love the video
LOL! Make a few grunt noises! Great Vid My Friend!
Haha
I left a like...really helped me
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 😂
Best tutorial video ever !!!
Wow! Amazing. Saved me a lot of money.
Glad it helped!😀👍
Part number of the bulb ?
How do you aim them both lights are pointing down and all the way to the left. Don't light the road at all
Do car designer go to special classes to make stuff almost impossible to work on?
I believe they do. Haha.
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
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
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
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
What's the part # or bulb type??
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 😅
Full on sling blade has me laughing 😂👍 great video
Bill Cox says "Van is one Eli Whitley when it comes to headlights on GMC Acadia's" 🙂
😂😁
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 for your help 🤗
Glad I could help. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me. 😁👍 have a happy Easter
The dog at the beginning is like “what you doing now” 🤣🤣
Thanks for being so cool!
I started singing the same time you did the same song. 😆
😃😂
Awesomeness ♡♡ are the grunts optional?
😁
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.
Thanks got mine all changed out.
It stinks that both go out at the same time. 😀👍
Thanks for the info
All I can think about while you're talking is the movie Sling Blade but thanks for the video
Thanks for the video... maybe turn the wheel in to get more arm room.
That would help. 😁👍
I change my lights out and now they are pointing outwars any idea on what i did wrong
Sure don’t. Sorry.
Thanks I was going to take off bumper
Yeah this design sucks lol
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
Man you sound like sling blade lol.. Appreciate the video
Sling blade. 🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh.
Alright then 😂
Well at least he is singing the right song. Now I know I can do it.
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
Love the dog edits😂😂
Love it thanks 😊
Awesome thanks
Thank you so much
Thanks boss
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!
Ty hate that they started doing it this way
Me too 😁

Easy like Sunday morninnnn😂
