Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was really helpful ! Getting the whole unit out was tough because it may have been in since new, but it all worked out and no clips were harmed in the process. I appreciate your time!
Thank you! I’ve never changed a light or anything & my low beam bulb just went out on mine yesterday! I’m going to be using this video to walk me thru changing it when I do!
Your the best at explaining this kind of stuff! I know NOTHING about cars...because of your videos tho I was able to replace my brake lights and today I'm attempting the headlight. Thank you for your time!
Thank you for making this so easy and taking all of the worry out. Why anyone would not give you a thumbs up, is beyond me. Maybe they are insecure and jealous. You could not have made it easier.
I just replaced the bulb in my headlamp BY MYSELF. Of course it took longer to find the tools I needed than it took to replace the bulb! I even watched a youtube video on shining up the plastic headlamp covers with vinegar and baking soda!
Thank you Bob... Im 78...but am a mechanic somewhat This plastic assys scare the hell out of me because the oldr the car the damn tabs are old, [the alum pins are corroded.. on the the rear assy to change brake lite bulbs..]so snapping them out of postion to pull off the plastic housings ..thay do not come off easily. So im thinking..what the hell am i going to break off with all the pressure needed..my advice for first timers. like me..to open carefully and peek inside when you can to see how yr doing. Then use a wide pc of plastic to presdur wedge the thing out... Especially on the rear brake lights Oh... the ARROW you wil see on the holder of the bulb...is for tightening The holder BACK IN POSITION..NOT.to removeit. You remove it .Counter clockwise... hope this helps newbies.. Also. You ALL can do this!... otherwise your going to pay up from 40 bucks sn hour to 90 bucks. Dont go there..its simple and you can do it
, hey Bob I have a 2009 Equinox and I followed your video got the bolts out got the tab loose and I cannot get that unit out it seems like it's hung up on something down there and I put a screwdriver to it pushed up pushed around pulled up I don't know how to get that out without breaking something so I put them all back together again maybe you can help me out thank you
So I’m having the issue yours is having with the water collecting inside. And the bottom headlight like the white one is out now so I’m worried maybe something happened to the wires. Is that possible or do you think it’s probably just the light bulb
The Equinox owner's manual will tell you to remove the four screws and four clips that hold the top of the bumper in place. It doesn't say anything about removing the chrome piece. I did it the way the owner's manual suggested and the chrome piece actually fell off while I was doing the job. I think the way you did it is easier.
It is a long, round metal object that extends the reach of your socket wrench by lengthening where the socket meets the ratchet. I believe I use Craftsman. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Look at all that condensation! These headlights are trash by the way. If you keep going through bulbs it's because the condensation inside the headlight bucket splashes on the hot bulb and shatters it. Does anyone know if the after markets are any better?
@@funbro1 good to hear, I eventually drilled holes in the front of my Equinox headlights, figured it's better to let it drain out since it's already in there.
Much thanks for info. under 4 minutes makes you a god.
Thanks for watching.

The Bulb on the driver’s side of my 2009 Chevy Equinox keeps going out I put a new bulb in and a few weeks later it out again.
I'm sure that gets frustrating, did you check the connection?
In addition..on the rear light change..
U put a lillte nit of grease on thep small aluminum pins before re_assy..
Next time..a 4 yr old csn remove it
Thanks for checking in and Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you Bob. Those stupid plastic tabs on the first step are a pain in the urethra
Yes they are. Thanks for watching.
So I’m having the issue yours is having with the water collecting inside. And the bottom headlight like the white one is out now so I’m worried maybe something happened to the wires. Is that possible or do you think it’s probably just the light bulb
Anything is possible, depending on how bad it is. Thanks for watching
@@funbro1 I fixed it!!! Thanks for helping me learn how to do it.
very helpful, thank you...
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this info!

I thought so also, Thanks for watching.
Thanks man!!
Thanks for watching.
God Bless Bob:)
Thank you.
Well done. Thanks.
Thank you too!
Hey quick question...does this process change if I have to change the driver's side? Someone mentioned to me removing an air filter..
No, it should be the same. The air filter is on the passenger side. Thanks for watching.
That's funny that my 08 equinox has the same issue with water in that same Fixture...the right one has lost of moisture in it.
Yes, it is a common issue. Thanks for watching.
@@funbro1 so I ended up buying after market light fixtures for 130 bucks. Looks better and I can see now..lol.
thanks! I will go buy the bulb and do it myself
Definitely, save the money. Thanks for watching.
Thank you bro
Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much bob
You bet! Thanks for watching.
Thank you sooo much !!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Good looks bro, you helped a nigga out 🤝 💯- Jiffy Lube
Thanks for watching.
What drive did u use for the 7mm Larry?
Bob?
1/4" drive.
Bob...can you tell me about the 10mm socket extension...because you didn't mention it was super hard to reach that 3rd screw
It is a long, round metal object that extends the reach of your socket wrench by lengthening where the socket meets the ratchet. I believe I use Craftsman. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Have not blown or even shattered a bulb since this video was made. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Hi! How long of a socket extender do you think is needed for the third bolt?
Try an 8” extension.
Thanks for watching.
What years is this method for? The ones I looked at have a access hole inside the fender well.
I know it works on the 2008, but I’m not sure what other years are similar. Thanks for watching.
Why does the inside of the light sweat like that? Is that bad? 🤔
Chances are the seal is bad and the light assembly should be changed. Thanks for watching.
A thousand times thank you.
Thanks for watching.
9007 light bulb ....
$15 - $18 for the basic at most auto parts stores
$9.99 - Walmart
Thanks for the info.
@@funbro1 And thank you for the video
My '08 equinox has an entirely different setup...
Different size engine? Model? That's weird.
Jesus loves you
Yes He does and I am so thankful for the free gift of salvation.
Thanks for watching.

Bob you taught me and my sister tonight and we successfully changed our light by ourselves. My sister said who needs men when you have Bob 🫶🏼❤️
