several have asked for info on how to access the headlight bulb on the new gen chargers. Forums say, remove air intake, or remove front fascia..none of that is needed, as demonstrated here
HIGHLY VALUABLE - Only video I found that said to turn THE COLLAR, as opposed to trying to turn the square base of the bulb - Thanks very much, 7 years later!
This was an excellent and very QUICK way to do it. Literally three push pins removed and had this done in less than 3 mins! Thanks and do not believe any overhyped mechanic ego on here that says you should go through engine bay!!!!! Not true!
2 things, thanks for the video BUT I was easily able to get to my bulb and change it from the top without having to remove the plastic inner fender at all. Just takes a bit of patience and the right feel. SECOND and this is probably more important, I had assumed when the light wasn't working that it was the bulb. It wasn't, apparently there is a fuse for EACH HID headlight (#15 and #16) check these first. In fact, all I did was swap them and I got the bulb working again.
Thanks for this video. The dealership was gonna charge me $130 for labor cause they said they'd have to remove the front bumper. I'll do it myself. Thanks a lot!
Awesome video Sir. dealer tried charging me $252.0 even for A bulb. Yes! a single bulb.. so many other places that provide the same product or better for far less. 79.0 at (summit racing).. For two bulbs. can't be beat. Not buying bulbs that can't make a two year lifespan.
Personally if one bulb goes out do them in pairs. It is nothing to remove the bumper, remove the whole headlight assembly and do all the bulbs. Your good for another 5 or 6 years. Outside of that great job replacing the one bulb! Cheers!
Just replaced mine today on my challenger, took me about 1.5 hours. Pulled both wheels off to bend that wheel well shroud out of the way. Used bungie cord to keep it open. Just make sure you put collor on the new light the same as it came off the old one. Great video thanx!
Went threw the engine bay took 10 minutes a side easy headlight clip has to be turned to release and put back on and turn it at an angle like it was when you removed it still a great video
That clip is a Bxx for me man did you like squeeze it and turn counter clockwise? Because I’ve been turning it counterclockwise but it’s resisting and I even blistered a finger in the process
Where can i get the white thing you took off from the old bulb and put in the new bulb? Because im having trouble finding it. I have a 2014 charger RT with the new 2018 stile headlights but the regular LEDs dont fir because it looks like i need a little bracket.
@@alfredotorres9655 I finally got it off after I purchased new ones. The new ones went on and off so easily. The factory ones literally felt like I was gonna break the plastic off. Scared the crap out of me each time I tried. But after my new ones came in, I said F it and I’ll break them off. After applying a lot of pressure they came off.
When you upgrade from the yellow bulbs to the white led ones, is it just a plug in replacement? I read somewhere you need additional connectors and such to convert the bulbs
The headlamps are of two types: 1. High Intensity Discharge (HID) 2. Halogen bulbs. You can get white xenon lights in either types. You'll have to check what kind of headlamps your car came with
What's up I got a regular 2017 charger did you go get those 6k from the dealership or did u buy them online they look easy to Install I wonder if they make them in 10k blue and price or website if you can find please let me know thanks
If I put it on and the light doesn't come on, what could be the problem? I noticed there's a little metal clip that holds the plug in place. You did not mention that.
Is this specific installation for a V8? because I have a v6 and changed mine out in 10 minutes just by removing the air filter housing. The other was easily accessible.
Dealer wanted to charge me 400$ just for the bulb. Thanks for showing me this! Luckily all the components that don't work are on the passenger side, much easier to get my hands into it from the engine bay. I just wish I knew where I can get a matching after market bulb. -2015 Dodge Challenger R/T.
That's insane! I got a river remover pry tool and the his light at AutoZone. 200 for the bulb and 5 for the tool! What madness these guys are too much.
Don’t ever buy one bulb. Replace the set. I recommend color temperature between 5500 and 6000k. You can regularly find them on eBay for $30 for the pair. The dealer is a complete rip off.
I'm trying to find these in 10k. Do you know where I can get them from ? I accidentally ordered the hid kit and those will only work on the 6 cylinder chargers.
Check the fuses first ! Just was going through this process and it was a pain in the ass , saw a comment about the fuses and sure enough the bulb was fine it was a blown fuse
I just bent the metal flaps a little then wiggled the connector off. I just spent the last hour fighting that bitch only to find out I didn't need to buy that ridiculous $250+ bulb. It was just the RH mini fuse halfway melted and the LH ain't much better but still clinging to life. Hopefully the warranty will fix that.
Found it easier on the driver side to just remove the whole air intake and i had enough room to put a basketball in there. I had plenty of room to maneuver.
I just replaced the bulbs on my daughters 2015 charger and you do not have to go through this process you can do it by simply lifting hood up and do it from the top it’s easier to remove the air filter compartment to get to bulb on right side and the left side is even easier you will save a lot of time and effort,just saying
Not necessarily on a hellcat - there is a secondary fresh air tube that comes from the front grille (true cold air induction point), and replacing the air intake box is a bear - very easy to break a tab on that intake tube wrestling it back in place.
I can not remove the white locking collar off the old HID bulb. It just won’t come off. I have a 2017 GMC Acadia Denali, not sure if that matters or not. But it won’t come off. Any suggestion please. Thanks.
Do you know if this applies to 2015/16 charger r/ts? I think the r/ts come standard with halogen bulbs. Only the hellcats and 392s come with the bixenon hids right?
Ronald Hopkins I purchased a replacement bulb on eBay for 40 bucks free shipping and it was just as good as the cheap one they had in their before and looks great.
you only purchased the HID bulb, no conversion kit ? i m looking for the same thing could you please give me the link of the bulb you purchased, and if you did get a kit could you please reply with the link for the same stuff you got ...i would really appreciate that , im going crazy to figure out what to do ....thanks
+italy2000 if your car already has HID, then all you need is a set of bulbs in the color temp of your liking. If your car doesnt have HIDs, then yes, you need a full kit that includes ballasts, harness, bulb out warning cancelers, etc. Here are the bulbs we used www.diodedynamics.com/store/led-bulbs/listed-by-vehicle/dodge/charger/2011-2014-dodge-charger-replacement-oem-hid-bulbs If you dont have HID already, you need the full kit, ive used DDM Tuning in the past and had good results with their kits. There are hundreds of other companies that sell kits as well.
I'm not sure how "bright" they are. But the color is somewhere around 4500k I think. Which is closer to natural light, closer to halogen light. The 6k are more pure white, like white LED
You need to press the sides of that metal connector, then it easily comes off. I actually disconnected the main headlight power cable beforehand, just to be safe. Did all that through engine bay.
for passenger side do you twist clockwise or anticlockwise... man that passenger side is stuck .. my hand started bleeding but wont come off .. Help plz ..
I spent an hour again.. my driver side came easy i twisted it both ways. the manual says anti clockwise.. but man .. this bugger wont wanna come off.. im would gve it a third go if i have solid solution for this.. plz suggest if you can something. i saw your video . your is kinda whitish in colour, mine is black . 2012 charger factory hid
Hi. I recently financed a 2015 dodge charger and all of a sudden one of the headlight went out and then couple of days later both went out. I checked the fuses under the hood, looks all ok. Please don't advise me to go see the dealer where I got the vehicle from, they are big time scumbags. Anything you can tell me to help me out. Please note the led day lights does turn on but not the headlights even if I have it on auto or on headlights position won't turn on. Please help
Because I have very small hands I'm going to try to from the top if that doesn't work I will be trying it this way.. thank life saver, my dealership said over $100 just for one side

Thanks for this video. The dealership was gonna charge me $130 for labor cause they said they'd have to remove the front bumper. I'll do it myself. Thanks a lot!
Aye thanks man the one on driver side was my biggest issue your trick helped whole process took me about 10 minutes
Rudebwoymullo Mullings what lights did you buy to replace the factory ones?
I appreciate your time n effort in making this helpful clip. I changed mine in no time

Really had to search up a video on how to change my headlight 😩😩 lol thanks!!!
Thank you for this video... still too hard to get light out, so my old man going through the air thingy, lol
This video got me right to it man, appreciate you!!!!
I appreciate the time you took out to make this video but honestly the factory headlight shade is great I don't find a need to change it.
Thanks man!Was able to reach pass side from top,but it worked for the drivers side.thanks and nice kitty btw!🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Thank you for this!! I wached a shitton of videos. None of them explained or showed it as good as you!
Thank you so much for your video it was so helpful and I love they way you teach us thank you
I know the video been up a while now has your ballast ever with out and if so do you know if you have to remove the headlight to replace it
That clip is a Bxx for me man did you like squeeze it and turn counter clockwise? Because I’ve been turning it counterclockwise but it’s resisting and I even blistered a finger in the process

You guys really helped me out with this vid saved me some cash when my headlight when out
Thank you so much You save my life
Thanks for this video saved me having to take it in just to have bulb replaced as my sausage fingers couldnt reach it from above!
good video man!
if you guys need more room just jack up the car, take the tire off and bam!!!! way more room to work with.
Is there any clips on the connector? Or does it just pull off
How do you get the connector off I'm pulling down but it's not budging. Is there something I need to press to release it
THANKS GUYS FROM NASHVILLE💡💡
Will this work with regular halogen bulbs?
Thank you bro you save me a lot of money
I have a 2017 Daytona this helped alot
Where’d you get the bulbs please reply
Thanks man I figured as much so how do u change the board
Thank you for the video.😃😃😃😃
To remove the connector you just squueze and pull down?
This worked on my 2022 ! 🙌
whats the name of the part you used dude
Thanks for this, my tech was intimidated by the white locking collar lol
What did he ended up doing
Awesome job, where do I need to order those 💡 from, thanks 🙏🏽
How the hell did you remove that white retaining clip? That's what Im trying to figure out.
Turn it counter clock wise as well then the bulb
Exactly! I can’t take mine off. It goes half a turn and stops. That’s it. No way to take it off without damaging it seems. Theirs just came right off
@@darrell5703 I just pulled it right off no problem
Just pull it off

I was wondering if the installation of fog lights on SE charger 16 required programming by the dealership
Azzam Dokmak sorry my friend. Im not sure to be honest with you
Do the foglights have a bulb

Whats that white plastic called i broke mine, where can i buy it?
Where did you buy your HID light?
If I put it on and the light doesn't come on, what could be the problem? I noticed there's a little metal clip that holds the plug in place. You did not mention that.
Tried this way took too long i just removed the air filter
agreed, taking the air filter and its basket out is what 2 screws and more room to work.
Is this specific installation for a V8? because I have a v6 and changed mine out in 10 minutes just by removing the air filter housing. The other was easily accessible.
crazyboi1984 what lights did you buy to replace the factory ones?
What kind of light did you put in???
Does this work on the 2018 rt?
Appreciate this 💪🏾
is there a wire harness adapter to change my H11 to D3S?
We're can you get the retainer at
Dealer wanted to charge me 400$ just for the bulb. Thanks for showing me this!

I just wish I knew where I can get a matching after market bulb.
-2015 Dodge Challenger R/T.
Abdul Abbas Try Diode Dynamics website there great.
They tried me to charge $1100.00 at the dealer to change one HID on my Challenger.
That's insane! I got a river remover pry tool and the his light at AutoZone. 200 for the bulb and 5 for the tool! What madness these guys are too much.

$400?! It’s literally 45 mins of labor, which shouldn’t be more than $130/hour. Fuck your dealer lol.
I did all that but now my car won’t start , any help ?
Yep I checked my fuse in my 2015 srt and it was burnt replaced it light came on thank you sir
How can you tell if it's out
THERE IS A QUICKER METHOD TO THIS BUT VIDEO IS STILL GREAT
I'm trying to find these in 10k. Do you know where I can get them from ? I accidentally ordered the hid kit and those will only work on the 6 cylinder chargers.
get LEDS from amazon I had some on my 2012 charger they looked very good! instead of HID kits
Can someone pls lmk what rims he got?
What replacement bulb you used? My factory hid, pass side bulb has gone out. Looking at my options.
Eric Beal mine too. It went out at 38k miles. At how many miles did your went off?
@@logannguyen5493 it turned out to be the 20amp fuse
How to change the halo light one of mine went out the ring light
Which is better...HID or LED bulb for replacement? If switching from HID to LED, is there any special wiring needed?
Led sucks for projectors I'm switching back to d1s on my 392
Check the fuses first ! Just was going through this process and it was a pain in the ass , saw a comment about the fuses and sure enough the bulb was fine it was a blown fuse
i was just about to spend $150+ on new bulb and all it needed was a new 20 amp fuse thank you!
Mines missing the cap and i dont know where to get it
Is this only for v8 chargers ? I have a v6
My question is how do you get the electrical connector back on, broke one bulb so far trying to do this, and these bulbs aren't cheap!
I just bent the metal flaps a little then wiggled the connector off. I just spent the last hour fighting that bitch only to find out I didn't need to buy that ridiculous $250+ bulb. It was just the RH mini fuse halfway melted and the LH ain't much better but still clinging to life. Hopefully the warranty will fix that.
does it have the high and low beam already?
Yes sir
It's also recommended to wear gloves to not accidentally touch the glass and leave oily stain on it
Was the piece you transfer to the new bulb hard to remove? Another guy in a video said it was on the 2012 model
It was pretty easy, just slide off
+SRTMUSH ok thanks
Found it easier on the driver side to just remove the whole air intake and i had enough room to put a basketball in there. I had plenty of room to maneuver.
Thats what I did as well
I just replaced the bulbs on my daughters 2015 charger and you do not have to go through this process you can do it by simply lifting hood up and do it from the top it’s easier to remove the air filter compartment to get to bulb on right side and the left side is even easier you will save a lot of time and effort,just saying

How do you get the bulb out. I can get to it from the top but I can’t figure out how it turns
How do you remove the locking collars, my 2016 chevy impala ltz has the same thing but I cannot seem to remove the locking collar.
on this car they just twist and pull off
Fucking life saver! Thank you so much for this!
Are the 6k bulbs brighter than stock? Where can I purchase these?
Same light output I believe. Just more pure white. Less yellow "regular" headlight looking. We got them from diode dynamics. Www.Diodedynamics.com
+SRTMUSH Yeah mines are kinda yellow on my R/T, looking into 8k
will these lights work on 2016 charger SE ?
if you have the factory HID package
I can not remove the white locking collar off the old HID bulb. It just won’t come off. I have a 2017 GMC Acadia Denali, not sure if that matters or not. But it won’t come off. Any suggestion please. Thanks.
Slide it sideways like you would slide a hockey puck ➡️➡️➡️➡️
Replaced passenger side twice with now luck. But Then...wait..what two separate fuses for right and left HID on 2016 charger.
Would like to see an installation video of your Power Stop Z23 brake pads if you could
Definitely. It would ever quit raining! Next week maybe
@@SRTMUSH have you tried leds in stock hid equip headlights
Do you know if this applies to 2015/16 charger r/ts? I think the r/ts come standard with halogen bulbs. Only the hellcats and 392s come with the bixenon hids right?
phatfool33 pretty sure the RT doesn't have an option for hid from the factory. But you can get a cheap HID kit for like $60 and do the same thing
i mean what type of bulb did you use?

What is the factory brightness
I'm not sure how "bright" they are. But the color is somewhere around 4500k I think. Which is closer to natural light, closer to halogen light. The 6k are more pure white, like white LED
What do i do if the bulb doesn’t wanna twist/turn. It’s literally stuck😭
How do u change the turn signal light bulbs on a 2015 charger
Robert Johnson you can’t. It’s not regular bulbs. It’s an LED board.
Robert Johnson assuming you are talking about the front turn signals?
How did you disconnect the wire from the bulb? I can't seem to get my wire off.
MrLimesc1 it pops off. Use a real thin flat blade screw driver
You need to press the sides of that metal connector, then it easily comes off. I actually disconnected the main headlight power cable beforehand, just to be safe. Did all that through engine bay.
