Thank you for this video. I felt like my mechanic was taking advantage of me today. After seeing this video, I am thankful for his knowledge and dedication to help me with replacing this low beam headlight!
I had a bad feeling when I looked at my wife's car yesterday and saw no bolts or top screws to remove the assembly, and you have confirmed that bad feeling. Well off to it
Thank you so very much so! My brother had a burnt out headlight on his 2011 malibu and my father wanted to change it for him. I helped him look at it while we changed the oil for my brother. When we seen that there was no way to get to the light bulb unless you took the front bumper and God knows what else off we were discouraged! Then I looked up how to on a video and came across yours. Thank you so very much for showing us how to do it and for giving us the confidence to do the job! Whomever designed that setup was only thinking of 💰 for the dealerships! Thinking that most people would have to take it to the dealership to get it fixed. That designer does need punched in the face! Thank you!
Cooool!! Good stuff man. I’m glad the video made it seem less daunting. If you have to do it a second time in the future, you guys can knock it out in like 10 mins and look like studs!
@@stevemontes5121 Watching your video it only took us like 20ish minutes the first time! You showed exactly what needed to be done. My father and I both have mechanical inclination. I have messed with many many Hondas. I've had a turboed sohc pushing 15 pounds of boost, a gsr in a del sol with around 300hp at the crank, an LS swapped integra and few more plus a few VW's. And I still didn't want to or feel like messing with taking the bumper and whatever else needed to be off.(That's what I was thinking at the time.) Plus I hate, HATE, taking off and lining bumpers back up. But watching your video gave both of us the "want to", confidence and know how to do it! Many many thanks!
@@cd7up That's ridiculous! I'm not a mechanic but I can do alot on my own. Like changing alternators, starter, oil changes, tire rotation, exhaust work, and stuff generally like that. But this only took my father and I about half an hour to do after watching this video. I hate messing with bumpers because of the clips, I seem to break them a lil to easy sometimes and just getting them to line back up can be a pain sometimes. Not always but sometimes. But your experience just shows people how bad dealerships rip people off! $799 plus parts! That's really absurd and ridiculously greedy! 4 days time? Wow, what are they doing? Manufacturing the bumper, lights and light bulbs themselves?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 28 degrees outside and I needed to replace the bulb in my 92 year old Dad's car. Went smoothly and the video was spot on. Did I say thank you yet? Great job!
Many thanks for the video! For those swapping out halogen lights for LED's, check that the connectors are on the right way before remounting the headlight assembly on each side (there's a right way and a wrong way). If you thought this was a frustrating task the first time....
@@chelmjustice1226 LED's have a positive and negative side unlike halogens which produce light via resistance. If you're going with LED's, turn them on before buttoning back up. If they don't turn on, flip the connectors.
Your amazing.. mom lights went out.. couldn't figure out how to get to the low beams.. this was perfect. I really appreciate you. I've never seen lights this complex to change
Great Video! I really appreciate it. Going to follow this for my 84yr old Mom’s car tomorrow. You made it easier than I had anticipated. I appreciate you Man!
Nicole Marcum the driver side can be done without removing the bumper, you may have to move something around but there’s a hole there to remove the bulb
This is a very food video. I recently changed headlights on my 2009 Malibu and the steps shown here are the same with one possible exception: For the bolts holding the plate under the hood, the two bolts on either side of the hood latch area are different from the other bolts. Keep them separate and place back in the correct position.
Solid video! Very helpful. My wife has the Malibu LT, and the only difference I can see is that there are the stupid little snap connectors inside the wheel well instead of the 7mm bolts.
@@stevemontes5121 worked just fine, but I'd almost rather have the bolts than the little plastic snaps. They seem pretty flimsy, and I worry they won't hold up past a few more headlight changes.
Ashasverus awesome! And that’s cheap. Most shops charge 2-3hrs to remove the bumper plus the price of the headlight replacement itself. Most shops where I’m from are about $120/hr
Thank you very much for showing the video and I agree with you without knowing how to get to it it is completely sealed off I believe they make them that way so that you have to take it back and they get money each time you go back thank you for sharing it is very helpful thank you for being helpful.
I was desperate and had to pay a Chevy dealer so I had them replace both lights and blinkers. Since then Chevy had to replace one of the lights again after 11 months at minimal cost. Then my son had to replace the other headlight 10 months later and now another year later, we have to replace the driver's side headlight. Whoever at GM that designed the headlight assembly should get punched in the face. Not only for the problem replacing the lights but also because so many people have bulbs burung out so fast. Thanks for making this video. My son watches it as a refresher each time.
The life of the bulb depends on a few different things. If you use brighter than original bulbs they burn out faster because of the amount of heat applied to the filament inside. That’s what makes it brighter. The brighter the glow, the hotter the bulb. Aside from that, if you use a cheaper bulb, then the filament/wire inside is sometimes thinner and cheaper, therefore burns out faster because it doesn’t hold up for long. Whichever bulb you use tho, make sure to blob on some dielectric grease on the connector. It keeps the temperature down, keeps moisture out, and reduces vibration, which all contribute to the life of a bulb. 💡 😉
I have to ssy bless my eldest son he came tp my house today i have only had this car for 3 months the headlight went out the 1st week i had it my son came over today and fixed it for me there's a20 mnt vidio onthis to fix itwell he done both sides within 2hrs im so proud of him i wanted everybodoy k no
Hes my hero nobody else would tackle this progect the cost w ass 259.00 an hr for each side he save me alot of money bless hiss heart god left me 2 great sons im thankful for that bless u god
Steve! Good stuff, brah! Little detail are sooo important ie, notice the difference between the top notch and the other two. It wasn't stated quite like that, but that is what's up. Thanks man!
Hey brother I appreciate the info in the video you know what the hell you're talking about and I appreciate not all the extra chitchat than most of RUclipsrs do keep them coming brother
Definatly not a beginner level job, especially if you live in the rust belt. Also if your malibu is an LTZ its somewhat the same as this video but not entirely. Ended up taking 2 hours per headlamp, but learned the whole way. Thanks for the inital tips how to do it and set my expectations very low for this job
@@jacquettajenkins3799 You're welcome. If I can do it, you can!! I went to Walmart and got me one of those screwdriver bit kits, just to have in the car. Because all You're basic needing is a 10mm. But the rest will come in handy! It took me a hot minute, but I did it, and I ended up changing both. Their was no way, I was going to spend $200-$300 cheverloet or another shop. Oh! And I'd advise to purchase a flat screwdriver wide enough for the pop ups. Not to say, you can't do it without one, you can use a knife. But it will make the process longer, trust me! You can get one at Walmart for cheap. Also that screwdriver kit I purchased was $8 with tax. It was the heavy duty 52 piece set. Small enough to fit in your car.
Will an LT model change this procedure at all, or can I still use this video as reference to change it? Also plan on becoming a mechanic so I can do stuff like this myself and not pay huge car service shop fees.
Creedence Moon No man. The model doesn’t matter at all. It’s the same procedure. You don’t have to do anything extra from what you see here to access the bulbs. But just a tip. If you’re going to go thru the hassle of swapping one bulb, might as well change both. When one goes out, the other isn’t far behind. And nobody wants to do this job twice.
Punched in the face I 1000% agree. Took me 4 hrs since I’m not a car person. So I’m in the hunt for who ever designed this crap of a car that I unfortunately own.
Chris Clow yup!! Lol. But now that you’ve done it once you’ll see that you can do it super fast in the future. I’ve had to do it another time since, and this second time around it took me like 15mins. Made me look like a stud in front of the guy I borrowed the tools from.
1999 Toyota Camry bulbs are easy and quick to replace. Nothing needs to be replaced. I look out for things like that before I get a car. The Malibu electric power steering is another crazy mess. Lots of sensor problems, hard to fix. Why go to electric motor system? I've never had problems with hydraulic power steering: replaced a few belts and one leaking hose. No big deal.
Hey man this video is great. One question I have since it’s been a few years. Did you have trouble with the bulb going out again soon after? I just talked to a shop that said to do it right you really need to replace the sockets too, both sides.
Great video buddy! Just needed to see what kind of fuckery I'm facing with mine......ohhh boy! But tyty! I'm off to change mine now! Side note; maybe don't pry the clips out with a screwdriver using the the paint for leverage......
Are you sure a step isn't missing from the video? I can't find the part between the fender well and the bumper. It's definitely sealed on there, and I can't see what I'm supposed to do next. But it's not ready to pull off the bumper yet, so I ... damn it...
Yup! The low beams are the bulbs furthest out on the car. The High beams are towards the center of the car. Also the low beams are a different part number than the high beams. Low beams are PN# H11 & the High beams are PN# H9. One won't fit in the other's spot. If you have any doubt, just turn on the light switch and look at the burnt out bulb once the headlight assembly is removed. MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF the hedlights while changing them though cause they get super hot super quick!!!!!!
Thanks for the video man did everything you said and got a new headlight bulb in there but it still won’t turn on so i don’t know :/ must be some other thing
That’s weird. You did swap out the one furthest away from the center of the car right? There’s two in there. One is the high beam. The other (outer one) is the low beam. If you swapped out the correct one, then there’s something wrong with the wiring. Double check just to be sure. Or did you fix it already?
What a pain in the culo! Thank you for making this quick and easy to follow tutorial. I did this several months ago and the headlight I planned on replacing landed up turning on while working on it so I didn't replace the light. The headlight worked fine for a couple of days, but then it didn't work anymore. I was discouraged to do all of that hard work all over again to see what the problem could be, so I have just been driving around with one headlight out. lol I call other vehicles with only one headlight working my "brother!" lol and me and my daughter laugh. I think I'm about to make another attempt at replacing the headlight. Wish me luck!
Brotherrrrr!!! With the hand extended and everything! Lol. I can see it now haha. More than likely the filament in the bulb is split but was still touching when it worked. As you drove and hit potholes or just the road vibration knocked it loose again. That’s why it’s out......more than likely. And don’t worry. The second time around is much faster cause you already know how to do it.
@@stevemontes5121 Lol yup hand extended and everything. LOL My daughter usually spots out the brother cars before me so she'll be lie "brother!" lol it's almost like a little competition that we have now. lol good times Thanks again Steve :-)

Same feeling im like fuck oh well gotta change the head light or get pulled over 😂
Yeah, the dealership wants $400 to change the bulbs. No wonder. What a cluster-fuk
somewhere there is an idiot that said let's just build it this way
Saabs vw and volvos. Fuq em all but they are nice cars......... until they go 👎. Merp
right all that work just to replace a light bulb
Thanks for the video! Great commentary too btw. "there's the stupid ass headlight" 😂 couldn't have said it any better myself

Thank you.... very helpful I think designer could use a knee in the 10mm's
That was a a good video , I’m half way done . Hope it’s truly that simple

Manson Chambers do you know if the entire bumper have to be removed, or only just one side, of the headlight you want to replace ?
@@epidemic006 really? Take off the whole bumper and take out motor too to be able to swap the head light bulb.

What do you mean by socket
Great video
Thank you great video.
Great video buddy! Just needed to see what kind of fuckery I'm facing with mine......ohhh boy! But tyty!

Some Chevy engineer should be publicly flogged for this.
Thank you sir for the info
It worked but you were right. It’s a real pain in the ass to do.
bruh that's preposterous. looks like i'll be having fun tomorrow morning 🙃
Did you use a drill or how to get the the bolt by the tire?
No there’s no need for a drill. There’s a hole in the fender-well. You just need an extension to get all up in there.
What is the tool that I need called? What store can I find it in?
Are you sure a step isn't missing from the video? I can't find the part between the fender well and the bumper. It's definitely sealed on there, and I can't see what I'm supposed to do next. But it's not ready to pull off the bumper yet, so I ... damn it...

That’s weird. You did swap out the one furthest away from the center of the car right? There’s two in there. One is the high beam. The other (outer one) is the low beam.
If you swapped out the correct one, then there’s something wrong with the wiring.

Yeah it was the wiring :( we got it fixed though
Bro thank you. I agree whoever came up with this design idea should be punished.
Good job 👏
I fuck with video fast and simple 💯
Thank you brother
What a pain in the culo!
Thank you for making this quick and easy to follow tutorial. I did this several months ago and the headlight I planned on replacing landed up turning on while working on it so I didn't replace the light. The headlight worked fine for a couple of days, but then it didn't work anymore.
I was discouraged to do all of that hard work all over again to see what the problem could be, so I have just been driving around with one headlight out. lol I call other vehicles with only one headlight working my "brother!" lol and me and my daughter laugh.
I think I'm about to make another attempt at replacing the headlight. Wish me luck!
Brotherrrrr!!! With the hand extended and everything! Lol. I can see it now haha.
More than likely the filament in the bulb is split but was still touching when it worked. As you drove and hit potholes or just the road vibration knocked it loose again. That’s why it’s out......more than likely. And don’t worry. The second time around is much faster cause you already know how to do it.
@@stevemontes5121 Lol yup hand extended and everything. LOL
My daughter usually spots out the brother cars before me so she'll be lie "brother!" lol it's almost like a little competition that we have now. lol good times
Thanks again Steve :-)

Do you need to remove the skid plate underneath the bumper?
I didn't.
