Thank you for the video. I had to replace the entire headlight assembly due to an accident. The new replacement has this issue. I'll sure give it a try. Keep up the good work. People like you are a true blessing.
Had the same problem with both sides...thank you! Just bought this car a week ago and could not figure out why the headlights were so dim...hope I don't have to make this adjustment every time I hit a pot hole, we shall see. Glad I saw your video.
you must have hit a super pothole to knock that light out. at any rate, that was informative and I will share this out because I someone else that has this issue. Now I get to be the hero thanks to you.
Glad it could help. I'm not 100% sure what happened with the headlight, it was acting crazy when I bought the car, just glad I didn't have to drop $400 for a new light🤑
My driver side headlight went out in my 2013 regal gs and I went to autozone got the same d1s but when I put it in it didnt work, is there any programming that needs to be done possibly? or am i missing something simple? ps: I also replaced my battery myself before the light went out and I was starting to think that could be the problem but i wasnt sure since the headlight went out way after the battery was replaced.
Good question, it sounds like your ballast may be toast. You can order a replacement on Amazon, it will be much more cost effective than the dealership.
@@3Wheels1Block Thank you so much, I called the dealership today to get an estimate of the light bulb replacement and it was already going to be $195... Ordering ballast rn instead.
Thank you, the headlights will enter change fitment wise. However the wiring and lamps may be different on your model. It depends on if you are running HID light or halogen bulbs. I think that you can get a plug and play conversion, just not sure where.
@@joesnuffy7929 I have not, but I will be very soon, I unfortunately have a broken lens and will be removing both lights to replace lens, and some other work, I will include the bulb replacement in that video👍🏾
@@PARIS8500 thank you! If you have larger about a of moisture, as in droplets rolling down to the bottom. I would check the lens cap at the rear, make sure it is tight. If you are under warranty, which I would imagine you are at 28k, I would have the dealer inspect it and see if the gasket is failing.
To remove this unit completely you need to do the following: Remove the front bumper Remove the headlight assembly Remove the head light lens There are 3 or 4 plastic tabs to turn The projector assembly slides out. I currently have a light apart I will post a video.
I trased my projector healights and replaced them with incandescent. The hid replacements cost $900 mimimum new Incadesants wrre $600 for pair with lifetime guarantee and yes they are plug and play
Hey HyperXprojects! What ever happened to the video with those Americans Racing 20" black wheels? I'm still waiting to see what the whole car looks like with them? Your video just had a close up. To answer your question, I did not have any moisture issues until I had one get cracked. I ended up replacing the lens and it has been fine for the past 6 months. If you have moisture you should 1st check your rear gaps and make sure the gaskets are good and they are tight. If that doesn't fix the issue you have a leaking gasket. You will have to remove the light, bake at 250 F in an oven for about 14-17 minutes, remove the light lens and use a small butyl tape or black permatex to reseal it. I do not recommend household silicone, even though a lot of people use that. I'm the meantime get some silica gel packets and toss in the housing to remove as much moisture as possible, the electronics in the housing will fail it you don't. You typically lose your LED switch back and then the ballast for the HID headlight. Good luck 👍🏾
@@3Wheels1Block A lot has been going on - life happened and I'm a new father. Doing dad stuff the past year has kept me busy with no time for videos and only the odd post on Twitter and Instagram. The wheels are not on the car now - coming up on winter. When I swap them next spring I will see if I can set up and film. Thanks for the info. I don't know if it is too late for me but I will check the seals.
@@HyperXprojects congratulations! I know all about the dad life and how time vaporizes, since I commented on your video we've been blessed with 4 little ones 😅. It's amazing that I can still put content out. Best wishes to your family and getting your headlight issue resolved.
Question: If one knows what they are doing, how long can you assemble the full assembly for 1 side from start of taking bumper off until finished and bumper back on? Aka estimated time for the job?
If you are replacing the headlight assemblies probably about 2 hours. It is not hard to do, just a lot of fasteners. Just take your time, there are hidden screws that you can't easily see.
@@wildwillybilly If you are replacing both head light assemblies roughly 2 hours. The second will come off quicker because you will know where the hidden screws are. I think there is a video on this somewhere. I will probably post one next year.
It sound like it could be the fuse or the ballast if you have HIDs The fuses are in the fuse box under the hood: 37 Right high-beam headlamp 38 Left high-beam headlamp Hopefully it is a fuse, the ballast is located under the headlight assembly and you would need to remove the front bumper cover to get the headlight assembly out.
I love my regal gs turbo but the headlights i hate i always get moisture in it and it blow the day time running light wish they would never put the led day time running lights inside look so tacky with one blown on one side and they are expensive to buy the whole assembly
I understand your pain. You can remove the rear cap then moisture starts to form and it can help dry them out. Also use decadent packs for moisture abortion. The lights are resealable, but there is a little bit of a process to it.
Thank you for the video. I had to replace the entire headlight assembly due to an accident. The new replacement has this issue. I'll sure give it a try. Keep up the good work. People like you are a true blessing.
You're welcome, I'm glad that this helped, I have another video on headlight projector removal.

Hi 3 wheels and a block. You are one of the lucky ones. You get to work at what you truly love.
@angela critters that is very true. I am blessed beyond what I deserve 🙃😊
I truly wish I knew kore about cars lol it would definitely help me out 😂 awesome video 💓💓
Come through, a quick fix but still would need help for sure! haha Awesome job my friend :)
Thank you 😊
Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Liked your video. Question do you know if Buick Regal Premium will fit the headlight assembly of the buick regal gs that you showed? year 2012
Thank you, the headlights will enter change fitment wise. However the wiring and lamps may be different on your model. It depends on if you are running HID light or halogen bulbs. I think that you can get a plug and play conversion, just not sure where.
Wonder if this is the problem with them leaking…
Good question. Typically the butyl seal between the lens and housing breaks down causing them to leak.
Can all of our repairs be this easy, please?
@The Daninator 😂😂😂 I wish....but I think we both know only every once in a while do we come across these easy ones.😂
I’m looking for a video to replace the HID headlight bulb
I can post one for you. Thanks for watching.
@@3Wheels1Block Did you ever do the video for replacing the actual light?
@@joesnuffy7929 I have not, but I will be very soon, I unfortunately have a broken lens and will be removing both lights to replace lens, and some other work, I will include the bulb replacement in that video👍🏾
@@3Wheels1Block New Subscriber here, any idea what would cause condensation on the INSIDE of the headlight covers in less than 28,000 miles?
@@PARIS8500 thank you! If you have larger about a of moisture, as in droplets rolling down to the bottom. I would check the lens cap at the rear, make sure it is tight.

How do you remove height unit completely to replace it
To remove this unit completely you need to do the following:
Remove the front bumper
Remove the headlight assembly
Remove the head light lens
There are 3 or 4 plastic tabs to turn
The projector assembly slides out.
I currently have a light apart I will post a video.
I trased my projector healights and replaced them with incandescent.
The hid replacements cost $900 mimimum new

@@jeffcoker48 I wish you would have sent them to me 😅 they aren't too bad to repair.
I agree the new price is outrageous though 👍🏾
Any issues with moisture? I have moisture in mine.

how do you adjust headight aim on these?
You can adjust them up and down with a hex key or Allen wrench at the top of the headlight
@@3Wheels1Block thanks!
sure thing, hope it helps.
Congrats on 600 subs! Need to meet up sometime.
Thank you! Send me a message on Instagram @3wheels1block and we can see what we can work out.
I just replaced my headlight on the driver side.. but get no power on my light. Is it possible it can be the fuse..
It sound like it could be the fuse or the ballast if you have HIDs
The fuses are in the fuse box under the hood:
37 Right high-beam headlamp
38 Left high-beam headlamp
Hopefully it is a fuse, the ballast is located under the headlight assembly and you would need to remove the front bumper cover to get the headlight assembly out.
Nice video
Thanks
