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.
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!
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!
Found this video insanely in-depth and watched it twice just to be sure I could do this on my own. Discovered my Impala doesn't like 7mm sockets but did like 1/4 ones. But seriously this video saved me from paying $50 just to change the bulb.
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).
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.”
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)
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!

Thanks this video helped me a lot I'm 14 and my sister needed her headlights replaced but she could only afford the bulbs thanks to this video I could help her
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.
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 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.
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.

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!
@@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!
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
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.

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.
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. 👍
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.
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
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!
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.”
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

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!
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!

Always nice to save some money, isn't it!

Mine has some sort of glue or rubber sealing the dust cover closed and idk wtf but I didn’t put that in there
Took me 5 mins. Thanks.
Nice! It really is a quick job to do, and I appreciate when the engineers design vehicles that way.
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.
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!
I wish I knew this the first time I changed a bulb 😂
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! ❤
