In this video, we walk through the process of checking and replacing the Daytime Running Light (DRL) Bulbs on any 2000 - 2006 Suburban, Tahoe, or Full-sized GM Truck.
A Tahoe owner's manual's page 5-60 shows Daylight Running Lamps use bulb number 4114K. Overheating socket problems are caused by using 3157 bulbs instead of the specified, lower wattage, cooler, 4114 bulbs. It's the same socket with smaller wires, for the lower wattage Daylight Running Lamps, leading to 3157 drawing too much power. Bulb number 3157 is used elsewhere as the Rear Marker Lamp / Taillamp and Stop Lamp, Rear Turn Lamp, and Back-up Lamp. Thanks DIY Auto Homeschool for the excellent video.
You sir, are absolutely correct. I made a big misstep in this video that I hadn't known about until you pointed it out. I trusted that the correct bulb was in there, and that using the same was appropriate. I was wrong. Shortly, you'll be seeing a video on soldering new sockets in and using the correct bulb. Thanks again for the correction.
Thank you soooooo much, you are incredible, the guy at o'riley was going to have me dismantle my whole grill, you should be a trade school instructor 🤝🏽💯
Good video..... thanks for telling the model bulb also..... The other way of checking to see if the lights are working is to pull up to a window big enough to be able to see your reflection in it...
Daytime running light assembly pulls forward easily after pushing the tab towards the outside off the assembly. Really simple to remove the whole assembly assembly.
Very good video. Covered the replacement procedure in detail, without a lot of grandstanding talk. It is refreshing to see a video that gives clear and exacting steps in whatever is being showcased without the technician trying out for actor of the year! I have saved the video, subscribed to your channel, and will be returning. Again, THANKS.
I check my lights by driving up to a store with large glass windows that reflect the front of my car. I also back up to the store to check the rear lights.
I had a problem with water collecting in the housings and blowing the bulbs. Got my cordless drill and drilled a couple of 1/8 holes in the bottom. Problem solved!
I got a 2005 and due to the rubber gasket wearing away I dumped about a gallon of water from each light system or lens I checked the sockets horribly rusted and corroded I plan on replacing these sockets thanks for this modification I also plan on sealing the case back up with butyl
Um, I have a very simple way to check lights front or rear. Just find a store with shiny windows on the front and view your vehicle front or rear in the reflection. They might be getting fewer and far between now, with the advent of the big box stores, etc. but you should be able to find one in your community. Frequently an Autozone has shiny windows on front of building that will do.
I bought a 01' Tahoe and just figured it didn't come with daytime running lights 😂 they've probably just been burnt out this whole time. I hate the fact that you have to have the car in gear in order for them to turn on
The DRLa come on with the truck in gear and the parking brake on. Don’t get someone killed or have a run away vehicle trying to chock the tires and put the truck in drive. LOL.
I will eventually drive behind a vehicle with a chrome rear end or a flat reflective painted surface that will reflect my grill & lights to show me if any bulbs need replacement.
Itskvngrichh2x ALL LIGHTS ON MOD VIDEOS CAN HELP YOU ALOT. I used regular small cables connected to the ground holes and is no risk to get in trouble. because is not a positive connection.

I read your comment. Well said. U done your research. Thank you. Good job.
Would you still have that issue with an LED bulb ?
What if you use a 3157 led bulb. Would that fix it since it’s lower power
THANK YOU!

That's how I always check all lights, front and rear.
Best video on DRL replacement that I have seen. Most informative, and showing how you can get your hand behind the bulb to turn it. Great job!

Of the assembly, not off the assembly; sorry for the typo 😢

I used 4114 bulbs. Good video, thanks!
You just made my life a lot easier. Thank you! Just changed it out on my 2005 Tahoe
I usually just pull up to a convenients store. You can see your lights in the glass window panes of the store.
I noticed mine driving behind a truck reflecting off the tailgate.
Thanks for the video! I didn't realize the DRL's only came on when the car was in gear.
Dude thanks so very much for this information I was wondering why they would not turn on 😂
Pull up to a building with a glass front, and look at the reflection of the truck in the glass.
Exactly 😂
Aye man, luv da video. Broke it down simple, no fluff. I like when u said "my parents car, I know how they are" 😄😄 God bless you general. #respect.
I check my lights by driving up to a store with large glass windows that reflect the front of my car. I also back up to the store to check the rear lights.
Thank you!!! owe you a cold beer!!!!!
Thank you for showing this!
Thanks man I've saved all your videos for chevy trucks do have one for the bumper

Nicely done thank you for your help...
You are awesome my friend!! I did it!! Feel like I am a mechanic now!!! Ok that might be an exaggeration but feels good.
You can pull the bottom row really easy too. There is just a thumb clip then you can pull it out about 2 inches and it's easier to unseat.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thanks for your help.
Great video👍
Appreciate you brother
Very helpful, Thanks!
Thank you,Vary well done👍
Thank you!!
Awesome!
Would checking other makes be the same process?

Just remove lower assembly, push clip on outer end . U don't need to remove headlight.
What type pf bulbs are the headlights and side marker lights?
What if the sockets got submerged in water due to a crack that my headlight had? Should I replace them then?
If they were submerged in water, I probably would. Not too difficult to do yourself.

Why u didnt just take the day runin housing out??? One clip lol 2 tight to work in

Yo le cambié los focos y no trabaja, Usted sabe que puede ser el problema espero me ayude gracias
Pudo resolver el problema?
Do those lights come on in reverse? both do not turn me on
Is there any LEDs for that ??
Why don't you take the daytime running light assembly out forward after pushing the tab on the right?
Be sure to use the correct bulb, a 4114 not a 3157. The 3157 can fry your bulb socket!
I will eventually drive behind a vehicle with a chrome rear end or a flat reflective painted surface that will reflect my grill & lights to show me if any bulbs need replacement.
Good video. Thank u.
How do you turn drl lights on ? Anybody
Itskvngrichh2x ALL LIGHTS ON MOD VIDEOS CAN HELP YOU ALOT. I used regular small cables connected to the ground holes and is no risk to get in trouble. because is not a positive connection.
I've replaced my drl with LEDs still it doesn't work. I've checked the fuse and still the new lights dont work.
Did you get this problem fix?
It's fixed
@@bigalcervantes5118 what did you do to fix it? I’m having a similar problem.
@@FrankC28 I changed the lighting harness. The harness was burned up
@@bigalcervantes5118 got it. Thanks! I’ll try that next.
Como le hago para prender esas luces ami silverado
Debería ser lo mismo que este vehículo. Lo siento si esto suena raro, estoy usando un traductor.
El mio tampoco prenden les acabo de poner foco nuebo y no prende que sera
NOW IS TIME TO REPLACE YOUR FORD HAT FOR A CHEVROLET.
I've been looking into doing that... but Ford has made me so much money over the years! 😂😂😂
@@DIYAutoHomeschool. thanks for the reply .:)
Skip to 3:43
3:48 gets past the unnecessary talking (AKA you *know* the bulb is bad and you want to change it)
