@@kiteracer2497 and then proceeds to place the bulb in the engine crevice.. filled with oil most likely also the camera showed nothing I still don't know where that smaller thing is
This is a big help. My truck is old, and the front light specifically is stuck on, so I am planning on unplugging it to not kill the battery till I can figure out what caused it
What about a dust cover for the signal bulb? The headlight had one. My headlights have dust covers but I just changed my signal bulb today and there was no dust cover for protection. Is that unusual?
Mine were not burnt out but the metal bands that touch the bulb side and base needed a gentle tug outward with a flat head screw driver. This would have saved me $4 but, I saw the old bulb paint was flacked off a lot so, after that, I replaced them. Kept the old bulbs as back ups. Also, some bulbs are like shown but the holder has a flat handle you twist. Be sure to note its position vertical or horizontal before removal and note left and right side. All these matter for putting it back.
Does anyone know why a signal light would burn out fairly regularly causing some melting of the plastic where it is inserted. Maybe an issue with the receptacle?
Check to see if the socket has any corrosion. If it does, with the lights off, scratch the surface of the metal contacts until there's some shine where the bulb contacts touch. A bit of dielectric grease on the contacts, or petroleum jelly in a pinch, can stop further corrosion. The corrosion adds resistance, and the resistance creates heat and voltage loss, melting the bulb housing and shortening the life of the bulb. If everything looks ok, or this doesn't solve your problem, you may wish to have a friend with electrical experience or a mechanic to look it over for you.
Cause the previous owner might have changed the plug and bulb completely it does not depend on the car sometimes the plug harness and the bulb is changed
No it will not, power only goes to the globe when it is on (i.e. when the turn signal is blinking). If you are still sceptical, you can always remove the negative terminal of the battery while doing this job, it will cut all power to the vehicle.
Don’t forget the blinker fluid
😂💀💀💀💀
Chris fans here😂

Love how he says don’t touch the bulb with bare hands but grabs the new bulb without his glove on
Yes, his dog ate his second glove

I know, they say don't touch the bulb.
Why do you have to unplug the power to it first? For example the back blinkers you just pull out and throw new bulbs in.

If it's a running light you probably have to turn off the lights with the knob on the dash
@@AngelaScene18 nope tried that it was only 1 light stuck on
@@AngelaScene18 meaning it was a wiring problem

Are the Superman pajama bottoms required? Because I only have the Batman ones.
I was able to do it the first time. THANK YOU!
I'm also an engineer here in kenya and I'm happy to do this ❤
fell asleep and want to throw my phone this guy's an idiot.
I still cant find blinker fluid every time I ask them they look at me like I'm stupid or something

So you don't think putting the bulb down on the part underneath the hood of the car can get oils/junk on it too?
Okay so my car is old. When you say a little wiggle, I’ve been wiggling my dude. Do we turn it Left from this angle or right?
Do you know what bulb number I would need for a 2017 Chevy malibu?
Check your manual
@kristinloucks6325 I would have done that already. They didn't give me one. They helped me out at autozone though.

@@hobolurkin thanks bud, I'll give it a go.
Ask your glory boy in this video.. he's really the winner of an idiot award he might have to go and tell you to go and use your tire gauge tool.
Love these videos
Thanks!
I bought the size my manual says my car uses and it still doesn’t fit. It’s not even the right plug
Cause the previous owner might have changed the plug and bulb completely it does not depend on the car sometimes the plug harness and the bulb is changed
Tell me ur car make and model I might help u
Try putting the make and model of the car in that title of this video

I would like to know too.
@@annhamlet8247 it doesn’t :)
