- How To Replace A Headlight Bulb On 2006-2013 Impala & 2014-2016 Impala Limited Chevrolet
It's a fairly simple process to replace a headlight bulb on the model years of the Chevrolet Impala and Impala limited listed above. It doesn't take very long either, as it's normally just a 5-10 minute job. I only replaced the low beam bulb in this video, but once you have the headlight housing removed (I show you how to do that in this video), you can also replace the high beam, turn signal, and sidemarker bulb lamps as well. The low beam replacement lamp required is a type H11, and I bought a Sylvania Silverstar bulb for my vehicle. The high beam requires an H9, the turn signal requires 3157NAK, and the sidemarker is a 194LL.

Thanks man this helps a lot. my pops just passed away, I never took the time to watch him and here I am. God bless
Really sorry to hear about your dad. Glad the video helped.
Dang dude well now I’m depressed tryna change this bulb
Mine died when I was ten. Spent the rest of my years trying to fix stuff myself. Most things didn’t work out too well. You Tube is the best invention, along with PlayStation.
May I suggest the TH-cam channel "Dad, How Do I?" It's a channel with a dad who decided to teach all the guys out there who didn't have a dad or who lost theirs too soon "dad" things. Topics range from changing headlights to shaving, to making pancakes, to sharpening a pocket knife.
@@athena8794 he is a treasure.
Took longer to find a 7mm socket than do the fix. Appreciate the video.
You're welcome, and I had to do some searching for a 7mm myself.
You just helped this girl change her head light. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear you got it fixed!
Awesome, thank you for showing me how to replace my light! 💪🏼😁 Seriously appreciate your calmness and simple details that even I can understand :)
You are so welcome...glad I could help!
Thanks.thats a great r eply..
N
😅
This grandma on a set income appreciates the great job of explaining everything perrrrfectly! Thanks 👏👏👏
Wow! Older female here (61 still knows how to work on cars 😊) Thanking you SO much for this effortlessly instructional video!!! I waa just getting ready to schedule an appointment with my mechanic! Saved me time and money!!! (Looks up part now hee hee)
I’m gonna join the chorus of people thanking you for this video. Saved me a whole bunch of time and trouble.
Glad it helped, and we both have Chevrolet to thank for engineering it so that it’s a fairly easy process!
I just changed the low beam light in my 2012 Chevy Impala LTZ after watching your video. Thanks!
Glad to hear it helped!
Thank goodness I found this video, all the other video for 2015 impala were much simpler and not like mine.
Fantastic structure. This helped me perform one of the fastest headlight changes I've ever done. The disclaimers about stubborn parts like clips and the continual progressive instruction make this video one of the best car fix videos out there. Well done!
Thank you, James! I'm glad it helped.
Thanks! This old lady changed the bulb all by myself. Great instructions.
Haha - way to go! Glad it helped!
Thank you for this! Replacing my low lights was the second car repair I've done by myself, and with your video it took about 20 minutes. I feel way more confident plus you saved me a good bit of cash!
Always nice to save some money, isn't it!
I feel this will be me! My second time doing anything like this and it will take me 3 times longer but the satisfaction is worth it 🎉😂
If only every car was so simple ❤
Ok, first, awesome video. Told me everything I needed, tyvm for making this.
Second, when the lights dust cover won't come off, here's what to do. Take a screwdriver with a large, flat head and put it on one of the cover fins near the base. Apply firm, constant pressure and see if the cover starts to turn. If you do that for about 30 seconds and it still won't budge, move on to part two. Keeping the screwdriver head in the same place, start tapping on the base of the screwdriver with a rubber mallet. Don't hit it very hard, just a couple of inches is all you need to swing it. Keep doing that and it will eventually break free so you can turn it. And that's all there is to it.
Thank you for this! Great information...this will help me and a lot of other people.
Straightforward, concise, easy to follow. Excellent in every way. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this video. I just changed my bulb in less than 20 min.
That’s great - glad to hear it helped!
Thanks man, one thing to note is you should use a glove when handling the actual bulb, as hand oil can reduce the life of the bulb. cheers
You’re very right about that, and it can definitely cause the bulb to burn out quicker. Thank you!
Grateful for this video. I’m a girl without a dad and a little lost when it comes to these things, so thanks for this! Took me less than 10 minutes!
Very glad to hear that it helped you out!
Good for you for taking on this task! DON’T TOUCH THE GLASS ON THE NEW BULB. “If you touch the bulb with your fingers, the salts and oils from your skin will damage the bulb and cause the heat to concentrate. This can significantly reduce the life of the bulb or even worse cause it to shatter.”
Thanks for this video, well filmed and concise. My grandson replaced his lickedey split..Thanks to you sir.............:)
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!
Its people like you man... you didnt have to make this video, but you did. Out of love to help people out. I dont usually comment but thanks man.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it, and I hope it helped!
These instructions made it a quick an easy job on my 2011 Impala. Thanks!
Glad to hear it helped!
Thanks for your quick, close up video with no wasted chatter time, you saved me a bunch of guess work and time.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Thank you! Not only did this help me with the install, but by mentioning the H11s, you helped me realize that the auto parts store sold me the wrong part. You saved me a lot of time (that they wasted).
Glad it all worked out for you!
How do u save time...but wait,how exactly ,,is time wasted,or wha t svtime wasted,and d I especially it come with fries, uh,,t go
This is the best how to video I have ever seen for anything. Thank you! Took 30 mins and I got both of my wife's headlights fixed and look like I know how things work because of you! Thank you!
Thank you,
I have to completely replace the light housing for my daughter's 2006 Impala LT and your demonstration for replacing the lightbulb shows me how to replace the housing too. I appreciate your video.
You're welcome, and I'm glad to hear it helped.
Thank you! Took me and my dad less than 10 minutes to fix my headlight after we got a bulb. I appreciate you sharing this :).
Very glad to hear it helped…thanks for letting me know!
Great video. Got it replaced in 10 minutes. Thank you
Unfortunately, my dust cover didn't cooperate and 2 out of 3 tabs snapped, leaving me unable to remove the dust cover. I have a pair of light replacements on order anyway since the lens were excessively cloudy. There was no way the mother-in-law would have done this at her age. Great video and thanks for putting it up for us Stan.
Mine has some sort of glue or rubber sealing the dust cover closed and idk wtf but I didn’t put that in there
thank you, mine went out yesterday and I thought it was going to be complicated. you saved me from going to the shop vs spending 20 odd bucks at AutoZone
Glad I could help. It's a good feeling to do something like this yourself and save some money.
Thank you... made it look so easy and was about change both in a flash. THANK YOU AGAIN
You’re welcome, and glad to hear it helped!
Video really helped. Also if you don't have a 7mm socket you can also use a 9/32 standard socket as well.
I was just told by a man at O’Rileys that u have to take the whole battery out! So glad l found this video! Thanks!!!
You’re welcome, and I’m glad you didn’t have go to all the trouble of taking the battery out!
The hardest part was removing that hard plastic bracket. Your video made it look so easy. Mine took a pair of pliers and a little prayer to the auto gods that I didn't break the dang thing
I’ve had some trouble with mine before too. Doesn’t always work as easy as it did in this video. Pliers and prayers are a great combination!
Thank you. Changed my headlight in about 10 minutes. Easy. Would not have known what to do without the video.
Awesome...glad to hear it helped!
DON’T TOUCH THE GLASS ON THE NEW BULB. “If you touch the bulb with your fingers, the salts and oils from your skin will damage the bulb and cause the heat to concentrate. This can significantly reduce the life of the bulb or even worse cause it to shatter.”
This was a most helpful video. The dust cover tabs snapped off when I tried to twist it off. There was some kind of glue lining the inside and they are pushing being 10 years old.
Awesome straight to the point video! Thank you very much! Appreciate it!
Omg thank you so much..My friend and I r gonna replace mine for like 20 bucks..Yay I thought it would be really difficult…Thanks again! ❤
A perfect tutorial. Short and to the point. Just installed two in about 20 minutes. THANKS!
Glad it helped! Oddly enough, I had to replace my right headlight tonight. This time, I didn't rush it and even remembered not to touch the bulb with my bare fingers. It does make them last longer.

Hey Thanks a LOT Stan! I went to change my bulb in my 2006 Impala and was overwhelmed with how to do it. HUGE help man. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome, and I’m glad to hear it helped!
Thank you so much for this one, mate! The manual I had for what you needed to unscrew first to get the assembly out didn't specify the location, so I ended up turning the aiming screw for about a minute before I realised I wasn't getting anywhere. You got it done quick and painless, though, and I can't thank you enough, hahaha.
I ended up snapping one of the ridges for the dust cover trying to unscrew it, but when I did finally get it open (praise the WD-40), I found out the cover had been cemented in place! After replacing the bulb, I got everything set back in place, and powered her on to see the shiny new light pointing almost straight at the ground, so I'm gonna need to adjust that back.
Again, thank you! You've helped me more than I can say!
Glad it helped, and thanks for taking the time to leave the comment!
Thank you. First time, I ever tried a youtube tutorial. I borrowed the tool from Advanced Auto Parts
Awesome! Glad it all worked out for you.
Nice, clear photography, makes the replacement easier when you can clearly see each step.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for leaving the comment. I always do my best to try and produce clear photography and video because I know that's what I want and expect.
This was so helpful. This was my first time changing a light and it took me less than a few minutes
Yeah, I’m glad that Chevrolet designed it this way to be so easy to do!
Excellent video.I was ready to pull the battery out for access which is a pain. Would not have done any good. Thank you for this video
Best video because of better camera work with more detailed description. Also shows more clearly what we're getting into ....I may let my Chevy dealer do it while they're changing the oil.
This was a major help to me now infeel confident that I can get the job done without messing up this was a awesome step by step video
Thank you so much for this video. I gave up working on my own cars years ago. But this was easy, step-by-step, and great photography.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Great video. Helped me out. I was trying to figure out how I was gonna squeeze my hand in between the crossmemeber and headlight housing.
Glad to hear it helped!
Thanks for this. Because of this video, I was able to replace a burned-out low-beam bulb on my '09 Impala quickly, easily, and successfully, earlier today. 👍
Glad it helped!
I never realized how easy this would be!!! Ty so much for your very informative video. It is much appreciated!!
Glad to hear it helped - thanks a lot for watching!
Worked perfectly. Thank you.
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for this video - I've now used it twice to replace headlights!
Nice...really glad it helped...both times!
Great video saved me lots of time
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!
Thanks so much!! Saved me an expensive trip to the dealer or mechanic. I was able to find that exact same brand bulb at Walmart too. About $50 for a 2 pack. Might as well replace them both at the same time. Probably would have been $200+ for an "expert" to do it. Thanks and God bless!
Glad it helped! It’s a great feeling to save money by doing it yourself.
Absolutely right about replacing both at the same time! When one goes the second probably isn’t far behind. Remember in the future: DON’T TOUCH THE GLASS ON THE NEW BULB. “If you touch the bulb with your fingers, the salts and oils from your skin will damage the bulb and cause the heat to concentrate. This can significantly reduce the life of the bulb or even worse cause it to shatter.”
Oh awesome, it's actually super easy, I was worried it was gonna be a pain when I looked in. Thank you, good sir!
You’re welcome! Yeah I’m glad this was an easy fix.
Short and to the point. Thanks for this video, its invaluable. Don't have to take my car to the shop or ask a neighbor now!
This was very helpful and I was able to change a headlight on my daughter's car today after watching it! Thank you for making this very useful video!
Glad it helped! And I'm glad that Chevy designed the lights this way so that it's a fairly quick and easy replacement to do.
@@HowSkills After watching this video, and replacing a headlight bulb on the Chevy Impala, we were able to use the same principles to replace a bulb on a Buick from another daughter's car of about the same era. This video was doubly helpful!
Thank you for the video. I have a 2014 Impala Limited LTZ, first video that was exact for my vehicle after looking up several other videos.
Just replaced mine with the help of your quick & easy video - thank you!👍
Seeing this video helped me a lot. Very comprehensive . I was able to replace my headlight with no problems. Thank you so much👍🏼
Glad it helped, and thank you for watching.

Awesome video! Now I can replace the headlight on my daughter's car. Thank you.
You’re welcome, and I’m sure your daughter will appreciate it!
anything you can do yourself and save money is amazing. Good job honey!!!!
Thanks!
wholesome
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was a real help and saved me the money in hiring someone else to do it. Bless you..
Very glad to hear it helped! Enjoy your day!
Thanks for this, dude! Driving a borrowed Impala and it looked different from any other headlights I've dealt with.
Glad it helped...thanks for watching the video!
Just replaced mine. . The dust cover were really tight and I wanted to make sure how it came off. I did not want to force it. Thanks fo the help.
This is one of the best detailed videos I've ever seen on here. Dang good job
Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks! Helps to know in advance exactly what is the correct bulb in addition to the right size socket to use 👍. Sometimes you buy a used car, there is no car manual and desk clerks at part shops can be clueless on the right bulb to give you...
Super clear, super simple instructions. Thank you, sir.
You're very welcome! I'm glad this is something that Chevrolet engineered to be fairly simple to do.
Thank you. Life saver. You saved me so much misery. Very easy change after watching your video.
Glad to hear it helped!
Best video on this procedure I've seen.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This took me MAYBE 2 minutes to do on each side. ☺️
Took me 5 mins. Thanks.
Nice! It really is a quick job to do, and I appreciate when the engineers design vehicles that way.
just got two replacement bulbs today this will help me greatly
Glad to hear that, and I'm sure you won't have any trouble with it. Thanks for watching!
@@HowSkills successfully replaced my bulbs this morning thanks
Very easy to follow your detailed instruction. Thanks a bunch Stan
You're very welcome, and I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Worked great and was easy and my nails are one inch long! Thanks 😊 MUCHO!!
Awesome...glad to hear you got the job done!
Youre a god send i cant find many maintence videos on the 2014 limited impalas
I’m glad it helped!
Thanks! Very clear, thorough, and at a good speed.
You're welcome!
Easiest video I've seen yet. Thank you.
Glad it helped, and I appreciate your taking the time to watch it.
@@HowSkills the other videos didnt show doing what you did. Yours was easy. If it should happen again, I know that I would be able to do it.
Perfect, straightforward explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for your help! Had my light changed in under 10 minutes!
That’s awesome! Chevy did a great job of engineering this to make it easy to change.
Thank you Stan this video was great!
I really enjoyed how you walked us through it!
I'm glad it helped, Jasmine, and thanks a lot for watching!
Thank you! Guys like you make life easy. Appreciate your way of cutting through the fat & getting to the issue.

Great video. Thanks, I'll be doing this up job later tonight.
Good luck with it, and I bet it won't take you long to get it done!
Just finished, thanks again big bro !!!
Haha! You are welcome, and glad it all went well.
Just got done thanks for making this video
You’re welcome, and good to know you got that fixed!
Thanks so much! Great video, straight to the point and more then helpful! Hopefully you make more for other situations. Thanks again!
This is my second time changing it and it took less than 3 minutes. The first time was more difficult because the factory glue that holds the dust cover was extremely tight.
It is a quick fix once you've done it before...and when Chevy doesn't make things harder!
Thanks for the clear and concise video. Very helpful!
Great...glad to hear it helped! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot, changed it out, in a flash, with your help!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful! Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
thanks for this. I haven't had to in a while and didn't want to embarrass myself asking my dad how yet again lol
Haha...glad I could help!
Way easier than I thought it would be
Glad it went easy for you! This is something they designed pretty well so that the average person can do it.
Bro thank you was so calm and so nice very simple instructions
Thanks...glad it helped!
Much thanks, great teacher!
You’re welcome, and much thanks to you for watching!
Thank you so much. Perfectly detailed. Easy to follow.
You’re welcome, and I hope it helped!
Thanks so much! Great video and very explanatory
Thank you, i sell grass and the feds were on my case cuz my light was out. Im dumb when it comes to cars and i did this in 15 minutes
