Depends on the trim level. Some of the them have high and low beams installed and most search engines erroneously give you the wrong trim level. If you can do the search by VIN number you can’t go wrong because sometimes their 9005s like in the description

@@cruzecontrol2017yea mine have projector style headlights which use one bulb for high and low on the Cruze premier RS trim

They really did! But once you get inside the headlight and see exactly what the fitment is, Amazon and eBay have a bunch of different options to replace this bulb no hassle with a perfect size that fits over the OEM dustcap. Local retailers have these bulbs too but usually the crappy versions and costs about $10 more for no damn reason.

No you do not. It's fine either way and there is no risk of shock.

I did the exact same thing on the opposite side. Pry out the side piece and trace out the line.

Absolutely. I get irritated when other users post half ass videos too. I need ALL the steps without shortcuts. I try to be thorough man I appreciate it.

how to remove cap-Twist counter clockwise until cap comes off threads

Yeah man I have a love/hate relationship with my Cruze because the parts have so many variations versus the manual. Glad I could help!

So there’s a few ways to go about this: 1:) You can disconnect the headlight assembly and take the headlight apart, but it’s a real pain to do yourself because you have to take the entire front end off to get all the screws and fasteners that keep the headlights together, if you want the led strip on the inside for a stock look…but you will also need to reseal the headlight or water could leak inside during rain and damage all the components and blow the bulbs. 2.) However, you can also run a strip on the outside and avoid all that (and splice the wiring into the same line the stock led is on) and cover up the bad led. I’ve seen it. It looks good if you take your time but you run the risk of exposed lights on the outside of the headlight so you either need really good adhesive or make the strip long enough to add fasteners where you can’t see them for a cleaner look. If one side of led light array is out already out it might look weird because one side might be brighter than the other so be aware of that too. 3.) If you’re feeling generous you can opt to buy a different headlight assembly but they can get pricey. Or you find an OEM replacement at a junkyard. With this option or option 1 I recommend you take it to someone who does light installations, just because all of the work involved to remove the actual headlight assembly from the car body if you lack the right tools. Sorry for the long post I just like to be thorough as possible!

I’m not sure to be honest. The best way to know for sure would be to pull the bulb out, but you have the same headlight assembly (w/the daytime running lights) I’m almost 90% sure they the same.

Just be careful though the plastic is fragile and gets brittle and breaks easily

Make sure you confirm that your model is the same as the one in the video first. As stated before, one side of the dome is longer than the other. Also, the dome light not going out could be a sign that one of the switches is not closed or in the wrong position. Make sure all the doors are closed completely, and that the dome light switch is set to the proper slot just to make it isn't anything else. If you can't do it by hand, use a plastic prying/trim tool (Walmart, auto/hardware tools) to pop it so you don't damage the roof or the dome light itself.

#578 is the bulb size inside the housing

Yes. The clearance was fine. No need for custom or secondary dust covers.

Yeah it does. It also throws you off in the store too because some stores list the low level H11 bulbs for all trims. This is not the case if you have the projector type lights installed with the LED assembly

It looks good. It feels good. What are you getting at?

lol I appreciate it. As I tear up my cars I’ll make sure to upload the process 🫡

It's a pain and you definitely need the book. The book says they are green and brown but in my model only one side was that color the other side was completely different. I bought a book on complete teardowns for my model and used the electrical wiring section as a reference.

0:42 And I showed the frame brackets that come off. If you can’t figure that out I can’t help you, but judging from your comment I think I see why 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yes, sorry for the late reply. I replaced the dust covers with no issues. Make sure the bulbs you purchase have this design or you run the risk of bulky garbage that doesn't fit, and you'll have to get additional universal dust covers as well.

Yes they are. I'm actually surprised. Also no tarnish or "sweat" on the headlamp assembly either. Keep in mind I bought these a year ago and uploaded the video maybe a few weeks after that 👍🏿

Yeah they still work. I found a vendor with some blue lights, so I replaced them, but they NEVER went out the entire time I used them.

Much appreciated thanks!

Walmart has some around the same price but the LED quality may be less.

Glad I could help!

I agree. I changed all those options to either red or white or ice blue, and silver metallic or black tint.

Man I'm having the same problem smh

It depends on the voltage in the light. Cheaper LED lights in the dome recreate issues similar to when you change turn signal lights from halos to LEDs...also known as hyper flashing

Never. And I haven't had any issues with headlight degradation either.

I mentioned that in the video but your idea works as well. With a metal screwdriver you risk scratching the finish or tearing the roof's fabric because it flimsy and delicate. A plastic or wood radio pry tool works just as well. Thanks for the input though.

@@cruzecontrol2017 That's a good recommendation, man. My main point is that you are prying in the wrong place. The pry bar should never come near the fabric. There is a specific place on the clear plastic cover that has a pry location. This causes the clear plastic to unfold and the the whole fixture slides out by hand. Prying the fixture itself out like in the video is much more likely to break a tab. Still, thanks to anyone sharing how to do things.

@@funkingitup1805 A quick note, it also appears to apply to certain 9th generations model years too but to each is own.

The rearview mirror lights (the two lights actually attached to the rear-view mirror) are also called the map lights, which are 194. The Vanity mirror I believe is the same size, because on Chevys from that era the smallest bulb is usually 194.

Darth Auto oh wait. So the ones for the footwell lights are the same ones for the rearview mirror?

@@vegasbab.y3740 The lights in the footwell (under the dashboard that light up up the floormats when you open the door) are also 194. I know this for a fact because I installed color change LEDs in the floor lights.

Darth Auto hah. Thanks. I just got them shipped to me after I bit the bullet. And worked inside and the side marker lights and the amber color light looks a little green to be now since it’s a 6k color white with the orange. So it looks a bit funky. But for the break light side marker light looks perfect. Matches the reaction time to the reverse lights when I unlock my car. And the normal bulb for the brake and signal looks even especially when it has to flash to welcome you to the car as you unlock it. Which I don’t mind that one not being LED. Some cars do need LED lights but for Chevys. Regular bulb lights look better in my opinion for signaling and braking. That’s just my opinion.

Darth Auto also. All the lights turn on when opening up the doors for that map light. Maybe not your car but my impala has them all on at once.

I have no idea. I may have to reupload it thanks for the heads up

Agreed. They have some ice blue ones that I loved but the vendor went out of business due to covid-19.

Absolutely. Sometimes the light fits the housing but you can't close the dust cover, which is stupid as hell. Double check before ordering and during installations!

Is it a Cruze LT or a LS model? Sometimes the body trim is different and the Cruze 2016-2018 has at least two distinct headlight configurations.

Yeah but the plastic is so flimsy you risk breaking it under pressure. But to each is own...

NP Man, most of the lights are built on the same premise from Chevy.

All good man.

Good to know. Much appreciated.

Anytime man most of the auto s made around this time are weird to work with...

NP glad I could help.

Shawn Gendreau It's optional but I consider it more of a safeguard to protect the tweeters from receiving the wrong frequencies, which can damage the tweeters or shorten their life span.

Darth Auto I ended up buying a couple of bass blockers for like ten bucks on Amazon. Turns out I have a built in crossover in my head unit. Crossed the doors @ 80. Thanks man!

Shawn Gendreau Good stuff. Sometimes the included crossover is not enough so the bass blockers are even better.

Darth Cocoabeans I have a very fine screw driver but I just didn't feel like it was working. thank you, I rely appreciate it. much love.

allmightyjamestown Yeah this car was totaled but with the vanity lights you can pop them with a pen top or a screwdriver (just wrap the edge with electric tape so you don't nick the surface).

Take the mirror off the windshield and disconnect the wire carefully. I've done it on my impala and did all blue LEDs except the sun visor lights

Jose Suarez Sorry about the late reply. When you say plastic I'm assuming you mean the clear piece? If so yes once you take it off you can remove it, otherwise you risk breaking it as it is extremely fragile.

I appreciate the positivity many thanks!

Not a problem glad I could help.
