How does the water get in there, I have the same problem

5/16 bolt? On a German vehicle. Maybe you should re-evaluate that assessment and come back with the correct metric size.

Thank you for doing this video.

Them rims are sweet.

Having the sam problem with same set-up. Once I change back to DD, system seems to keep reverting back to DD+ every 30 mins or so, are you having same issue? Any know fix?

I have a 2017 Regal - same side headlight issue, just curious - was there a reason that you didn't try and fix the 'leak' - seems that mine is along the upper edge - had mostly cleared and then we had a deluge and without driving the car the headlight had quite a bit of water.... the unit is so expensive I thought it might be worth the effort...

Not a good step by step video

Hello Bryan. Where did you get your Headlight. I been looking for a year now.

Which bumper is that ?

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?

Whats the total eta for changing this? If you are a trained mechanic 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 mins, 1 hour?

I have to replace mine cuz the same exact problem and dude $800 way too much for a freaking headlight

Where did you buy it

Thank you Bryan...I had 1 replacement from dealer...talk about a rip off...$1700 dollars out the door...I have a 2012 Regal GS...Now the other is full of water and out...why would they put the ballast where it fills with water...I will be doing this myself ..thank you again!!!!

What size mounting screws is it for the headlight itself

Dude thanks so much for this video! Helps me a lot. I’m about to tackle the exact same repair.

Thanks for the vid. Helped a lot. Oddly enough, mine had another bolt on the bottom. Almost broke it before I found it. Oh, and GM uses metric sizes. Those bolts are actually 7mm.

Thanks for the video, what site did you find your headlights on. I can’t. Seem to find it them

This is a good reason not to buy these cars! The price they have on this stuff that shouldn't go bad in the first place is beyond ridiculous! If I were you, I would sell it right after fixing it!

Instead of just fixing the broken sealant , for Like 5$ , people get new Lights ≈ 1000$. Can't believe this. It could have been way easier

Fuck buick. These should be recalled.

Nice job man! Sharp looking ride too!

Any link to where you bought them from?

Thanks for this video, doing a friends in the next few weeks or so. Same issue with the moisture, great car otherwise. Thanks again bro.

Thx you

There are 4 bolts holding it on!. And if you want to get rid of the old assembly let me know lol

Just a PSA. The root cause of my headlight getting water in it was not a good seal on the headlight and the drain beneath the windshield wiper was clogged up so the water went down the hood to the headlight. I ended up changing the ballast.

Lol you missed the fourth nut on the bottom. I was wondering why I couldn't take it out. Also the leak on my headlight was on the very top seam between clear and black plastic housing.

Anyone know if the 2014 headlights are the same size as the 2013s? They definitely cost less?

I found the headlight online for $250 that was the cheapest and was brand new and yes for the GS not base model headlights but still way easier to just repair I have come across this issue recently on my 2012 Regal GS

Thanks for posting man!

I have a 2012 Gs the driver side headlight went out and it has alot moisture in it. Now the passenger side blew so i got new bulbs and still no headlights but side marker lights work.i also checked both fuse boxes and my fuses are good .im lost what could it be? Why hasn't buick recalled this issue? Its no after market lights u can by for the Gs model.i went to Dealership in my area and was quoted $1353+ tax for just the headlight and also told its on back order and dont know when they will get more just to keep checking back. My advise is to pass up the Regal Gs model nice cars but headache because u will have that headlight issue.if i had known this i would never have gotten this car

The hex head on the screws is 7mm. I work in a GM plant and used to install headlights

You are a life saver. Thank you

I just found one for my 2011 regal....on line and brand new----$179.00 delivered....just sayin

Good video, but one thing to note. I’m not sure if the passenger side is different, but I had to remove 4 bolts from the headlight assembly to remove it rather than 3. There are two bolts to remove when you flare the fender out.

Bro you don’t have to do all of that to replace LEDs in a buck Verano

Thank you so much, God bless

I have the 2014 model. This video saved me a $1,000! Mine had about 1/4 cup of water. Rotated it until I found the leak. Sealed it, and also drilled 3 small holes for drainage on the bottom of the lens just before the black housing. This is where water will pool. Make sure you drill the holes on the lowest part of the lens! Note: the holes are not visible, just be careful not to drill through the reflector housing. I got this tip from a guy fixing Mercedes headlights.

Oh gawd that's rape 800 a piece

Did u ever sell the old one I will buy it

Join the Regal Nation page and 2011+ Regal page on Facebook if you haven't already

7mm and a Tora driver....

Bro, so all the other lights work except for the low beam, did the entire assembly stop working for you? I tried changing the bulb but no luck. Im assuming its a fuse?

What company did you buy from? I have a '14 Regal Premium,. That needs the drivers side light replaced.

My '12 Regal has the same issue right now. How is this not a recall? I'm seeing it all over online now that I'm searching.. anyway thanks for this post!

My car has same issue I would say it is a manufacturing fault and should be a recall aren’t faulty light considered dangerous if not working properly I’m called the manufacturer 🤬

Thanks man I appreciate your video so much. I was able to find a cheep part online instead of going to dealer and was able to put my headlight in. Thanks 👍

thank you

My wife has the halogen on her 11 and drivers side is getting water in it now which I need to repair or replace. it is ridiculous what they charge for the HID. I have them on my 12 acura tl and praying I don't have issues. These manufacturers needed to go right to LED I think the HID is a joke.
