    I'm not a car guy when it comes to fixing problems but used your technique and had literally no problem changing the bulb on the driver side headlight. Thanks for the video and instruction.

    For the passenger side all you have to do is pull the filter box off and you can reach in and change the bulb. Driver side is another matter.

      @@gheegrose BTW, I did end up removing the screws from the top of the grill to keep from scratching the paint on the side of my grill pulling the old headlights out. The lights housings I was replacing were aftermarket. Maybe not as much clearance. Oh, and today Im replacing the fog light housings! That means do this all over again. Sport bumpers have to be removed to replace fog lights apparently.

    Sure glad I found your video. Looking thru the owners manual are a waste of time. I had to search for the coolant level and it's still very much greek. I did see where the level on the stick stated the max mark. My actual radiator was totally empty for what it seemed like. I used a full jug and the heat finally was working again. I still can't see where the coolant was leaking from.

    • @gheegrose
      @gheegrose  5 месяцев назад

      Yeah, that coolant plastic dipstick thing is funny sometimes. I often find it easiest to remove it, completely dry it off, then reinsert it and pull it out to check which hole has a bubble in it. I found out the hard way a long time ago that coolant is a "life blood" of an engine....pretty much as important as oil. I ruined a 4.7 engine in my old 2002 Ram by letting it run dry. That was an expensive mistake!
      Glad my video helped you! :)

    Great vid, no need to remove grill like others say, 1guy used electric tape to hold the long ext to the screw. But I tried the magnet like u and it was slick. No more Amazon bulbs for this boy either, lesson learned, they heat up inside too much especially LEDS , thanks again friend best video on utube for changing bulbs on Ram, period.

    On my 2015 2500 6.7 there is a flip open panel in the passenger wheel well. Flip it open, reach in and change the bulb. On the drivers side I reach up in front of the wheel well and replace the bulb. Its a little tighter squeeze but is doable.
