excellent, concise, informative how-to video start-to-finish. Mentioning which tools will be needed is helpful and timesaving too. Here's what I am going to use in my TOOL LIST - wrenches, ratcheting wrenches and sockets for 7mm and 10mm bolts, T15 Torx, screwdriver set, battery-powered electric wrench, trim clip tool plus spare clips just in case. I'm fortunate I have all these tools already from working on my truck and wife's car. I'm fixing to help out my BIL fix his Lacrosse and this video will make it much easier for me. Thanks, T&J!
Just did this to a 2018 envision. Just about the same except it had a plastic trim around the fender that had to be pryed loose.(I watched your video before doing. THANKS)
My 2017 Buick Lacrosse is on its 4th headlamp and I'm on my 3rd time doing this job. These lamps will short and kill the daytime running lights on the front and rear at the same time, which cannot be fixed only replaced. This has been the only major issue over 274,000 miles but dang this is a headache.
Thanks .... Excellent video. Thinking about replacing my wife's ... I put a new ballast in because the headlight would go out and come back on and now the headlight has a mind of its own .... One morning it works and next morning it don't. Did you have to do any programing/reset codes after the light was installed?
No, the only thing we had to do was disconnect the battery and reconnect it because the turn signal was flashing too fast. But everything else came preprogrammed, but you may need to adjust the headlight as far as height level after the installation But i'm glad you enjoyed the video and it was able to help you out and thank you for watching
@@trucksandjunk6190 Do have any instructions for adjusting the height level? What about disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to resolve the hyperflash? Did the battery reset work to fix the hyperflash?

Everyone else I have seen do this removes the whole front assemble from the car. Thank You So Much!!!! :)
No problem, it is my pleasure to have helped

Great video
Tank you
They sure have made changing a head lamp a lot more complicated since the 1970’s.
yah they step things up a lil

Good video, question does all this need to be done to replace the oem hid bulbs?
I don't think so. I think you only have to reach in behind to change the bulb

Is there any chance that anyone knows about the HID bulb and if the black part of the HID that holds it into the housing is possibly removable?
Who ever designed this vehicle was not thinking 😢
No, they were not, or they may have been making people pay the dealership to change a light bulb you never know anymore
