    If this guy could go ahead and explain everything about life as esially and thoroughly as he did in this video then that would great.

    Had my TJ for several years, passenger side headlight just went out. Watching this video before I replace with new one. Thanks for sharing this "how to" video.

    I just came across this video on Tuesday 10-22-19. My headlight burned out on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler. I went to Auto Zone on Wednesday 10-23-19 and bought 2 headlights. Thanks to this video I changed them both myself! The shop wanted a minimum 1hr of labor which was $100.00. Plus the cost of the parts so approximately $150 (maybe more), to change my headlights. I paid $48.00 for the upgraded brighter headlights and that’s it. It was super easy all thanks to this video. Thank you so much for the in depth instructions and info!

    Thank you so much! I installed mine myself instead of waiting for my husband to find time!!!!

    Thanks for posting the video. It helped with the install but also put me on to the same headlights, which seemed to be one of the few replacements with good ratings that I saw.

    Just a tip- the left side and the right side trim pieces I believe are different so don't mix them up as it makes it hard to align back up.

    Great video, thanks!
    Also gotta say your front end paint looks mint! I know it's a 7 year old video now, but I hope you still keep it that way!

    From the UK. I Have Wrangler 2001 TJ. Just to say you can access the light bulb from the inside back of the headlight, with out removing it. Pull the lead out and then rubber surround, fish old bulb out. Put the new bulb back on the lead, between the rubber surround. Now push it all back in. You could probably get the rubber out with buld still attached to the lead be easyer. Usual thing, don't touch the actual bulb with bear fingers. Wear rubber gloves.
    That access, UK Jeeps only maybe. Cheers.

    Great vid high quality. It can be tricky if you have a grill guard but once you get the angles it's easy. Took me about 20 min.

      “Replace both if one goes out” comment I’d imagine. Do you do this in your house when a light goes out? lol. Tutorial great! Recommending replacing both not so much. I’ve had my other light for over a year after replacing the out one.

  • @aaronzerbin8718

    thanks for the video! to lazy to figure it out. only thing I'd add is a telescoping magnet.. I dropped a few putting new ones in. There's a nice pocket under the bulb to catch them but you can't get your fingers in there lol

    • @natewoodard34
      @natewoodard34 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Amazingly this is the only job I've ever done on my Jeep that I didn't drop a single screw. I had 14 opportunities (really 28 since each one had to be taken out and then put back in) and DIDN'T. DROP. A. SINGLE. ONE!!!
      Yes I do want a cookie.
      But you're right, telescoping magnet has been a lifesaver for 99.9% of my Jeep repair jobs (except for, as mentioned, this one!)

    So how do you adjust the lights if they are aiming high or low?

    I got new headlights for my tj. Your video helped but having issue. My old lights had the screw brackets built in to them. New ones is like your video. So now i need the retainer rings to hold the light in its place. Do you have any idea where i can buy those?

    HELP! I have a 97 Wrangler. My hazards light come on by themselves. I can hear the clicking but the lights don’t illuminate on the dash. Sometimes if I gentler wiggle the turn signal lever it seems to turn off the hazards.

    Thank you for sharing; You did it correctly; but the lights are not LED. 😅🙁

    Any one who says the chrome trim Bezel on the headlights is a “nice finish” is someone I don’t want to know.

    • @rickjames5998
      @rickjames5998 ปีที่แล้ว

      but its semi more functional than having it be like matte black or something, because the chrome at least reflects light

  • @yvetteberndt3155
    @yvetteberndt3155 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Should you unplug the red terminal on the battery before installing new headlights? Even if they are LED plug and play headlights?

    • @natewoodard34
      @natewoodard34 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. Just turn the light switch off and there won't be any power going to that area.

  • @germanshepherd13

    are the screws that hold bezel the same size (thickness and depth) as the one that hold the light in place ? I need to buy replacement screws and see some for sale for the bezel but not the light part. can I used the same screws as for the bezel for the light? thx

    • @FreedivejeepHD
      @FreedivejeepHD  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are different sizes. If you have at least one of each kind of screw you need, just take them to your local hardware store. They can usually match them identically.
