    As a non-dexterous young lady with who never took shop class: I always approach projects with my van with the complete and perfect understanding that there is a strong likelihood I will break something irreparably during the process. I am not a handy lady! Your tutorial kept me from fatally injuring my vehicle and myself, so thank you!

    Thank you! I'm very pleased with myself for being able to change the headlight on my own after watching this video. -Katy

    I LOVE this and other videos I have used to replace and repair my 07 grand caravan. the fact that I can do these things without taking it to professional, makes me want to KEEP my mini van. Im a girl!

    THANK YOU. Now that my I'm divorced and my Dad has passed I need to do these simple type fix-it's on my own. Bought the 9007 from WalMart earlier and will replace tomorrow morning. Looks easy enough.

    Thank you for the perfect, concise information on benefits / consequences of failing to line up the screws by hand first, when inserting the headlight. It sounds patronizing, but I would be "that guy" who strips out the screw landing, and it would fail to engage net time!! Very thoughtfully done, sir. I chose yours because it was short... now I see also concise. Not one second of my time was wasted. I've " liked" and subscribed today. People around used cars for sale all the time need to know how to fix cars. You rock!

    I love how simple this design is. I want one of these vans. I like when the headlights are round or squarish because it makes replacing them easier. I her these new cars with the scowly narrow headlights are going to be fun to fix when they start getting older. Cars just get crappier and crappier.

    This was very helpful as I wasn't sure how to get that retaining ring out without breaking it. One thing to mention for anyone in the South or any other humid environment, you need to apply electrical contact grease to the bulb prongs, to keep them from corroding and to make sure that you can disconnect it easily when it eventually has to be replaced again.

  • @northshorepc1

    Thank you for this video, including the tip on not touching the bulb! The person at the auto parts store included a small package of some special contact grease to keep moisture and corrosion out of the connection to the bulb. It looked like the original bulb did have this stuff on it so I did use it. Also, another comment below said to check the new bulb before putting the housing back in and I was glad I did, the first new bulb did not work but I had purchased the two pack so I tried the other bulb in the package and it worked fine. Saved a few minuets and returned the bad bulb and now I have an extra in the glove compartment just in case the other bulb goes out. Thanks again

    Thanks for this video man! My headlight has a leak in the seal somewhere so the past few times it stormed bad over here I had quite a bit of water in my headlight and caused the bulb to blow. Need to get in there and fix it

  • @piggly-wiggly
    @piggly-wiggly Před rokem

    Getting those locking tabs to release is the hardest part. I spent several minutes with a screwdriver trying to get the tabs away from the bulb assembly. I think the trick is to keep twisting the bulb while you pry up the tabs in order to gain a bit of a start that you can keep working to free up the bulb. However, this was a walk in the park compared to changing the bulbs in my 2006 or 2009 Prius.

  • @enargins

    Thanks for the helpful video! I found that when lifting up the two tabs to remove the bulb (0:50 in the video) that it's easiest if you just use your fingers to lift up the tabs, and then pull the bulb out with your other hand. Works great!
