    I checked out too many videos to count, including one where the guy removed half his front end. This guy knows his stuff. Thank you for posting this.

    My Auto Parts store told me I would have to move the fuse box! Thank you for explaining how it is really done! I am a 71-year old woman and it took me a little longer because I was having trouble getting the caps off, but it worked finally. Your instructions and video was very clear.

    Thank you!! It was tough - probably due to freezing fingers, but this got me through the job! Whoever designed this has a lot to answer for. There must have been a better way to have designed that.

    Some YT DIY videos are so well done that the people who make them probably never know just how much frustration, skinned knuckles and swearing is averted. On behalf of shade tree mechanics everywhere, thank you.

    Tony, I am giving you 3 stars for this video. I am a 63 yo woman. Never did that type of repair myself. With your comment and guidance, I did it in about 10 minutes. Plugging the "grey thingy" with the index finger was not that easy. I thank you very much for your help. You are the guy for the job! Congratulations on your video.

      @chihuahuaman7025 3 года назад +3

      Ah that sucks. I started by using the instructions in the owners Manuel to change the bulb myself and that was a nightmare. I almost brought it in the get done but the mechanic wanted $100 to change it. He was telling me about how he had to remove a bunch of stuff to get to the bulb. Luckily I found this amazing video which saved me $100 and a bunch of my time.

  • @tornadotantan2735

    I've been using this method for a couple years now for my drivers side bulb that seems to chronically burn out no matter how many times I get it looked at.
    Thanks for saving me probably hours of tears and heartache! From someone who's barely touched an engine before their kia soul; thank you! This was super easy to follow.

  • @kathleenspeegle2461
    @kathleenspeegle2461 2 года назад +3

    This was a great video! I called our local Kia dealer & he said it would cost about $475!!! I said, "just to change a light bulb?" And he said "Yes!" I really can't believe that. Anyway, we thank you so much for this easy to understand and follow video. It did take us more than 5 minutes, haha!, but it only cost us $19 for the bulb and we are very proud that we did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • @debratalbert
    @debratalbert Год назад +1

    Thank you so much! I just replaced my Kia driver-side headlight bulb by myself. I had stopped at two repair places who really did not know what they were dealing with but quoted me hundreds of dollars to figure it out! Great, detailed instructions.

  • @michelparent8392
    @michelparent8392 2 года назад

    I too have just used this video to replace the driver and passenger side bulbs in sub freezing temperature. It was so quick and easy that my fingers didn't have time to freeze. Thank you so much.

  • @justinelecluselle8475
    @justinelecluselle8475 2 года назад

    I tried over an hour to screw in the bulb with no avail but when I saw your video and you mentioned the red seal saying behind, I knew that was the problem. Once those were removed, got both lights changed in under a minute. Thank you so much!

  • @melissacritchley5838
    @melissacritchley5838 2 года назад +1

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was having a super bad day where everything that could go wrong was going wrong. I was going to get this fixed with my oil change. They were going to charge me $70 (in addition to the $50 oil change)! Which I thought was super steep (twice as much as getting one fixed on my Jeep), but I was willing to pay for the convenience. Well I waited an hour and they still didn't have the bulb. So I told them forget it. Then I went to the parts place got the last one they had on the shelf and went to install it and found the fuse box in the way. I had to coax the parts guy to take a look at it for me. He told me I'd have to pull the fuse box. I was thinking there has to be a better way. I called my best friend who knows her way around a car. My best friend looked online while I was driving home. She said the video she found suggested loosening the assembly to give yourself more room. At this point I was thinking I should have waited for the bulb and paid the $70. She suggested I look a little more when I got home so I looked specifically for videos on the driver's side headlight. I'm SO glad I found your video. It's a little tricky getting the cord attached to the bulb in that tiny space, and my bulb is a little cockeyed in there - the release is not on the top like the video - it's turned (I double checked to make sure it's in there right and it is - mine's just weird). But once I got that cord attached, I was so happy. Thank you again for this video. You were a blessing in a crappy day.

    Yes!!!! You are THE BEST!! I have been driving around for months with a burned out headlamp! My dealer ship is far away and I could not get the dang cover off! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just changed my light in under 5 mins! Perfect instructions!!

  • @MarkRobinson-lo1gp
    @MarkRobinson-lo1gp 2 года назад +2

    I installed the new bulb in just a few minutes thanks to this excellent video. Before I bought the bulb, I checked to see what they would charge me to install it and was told it would be a minimum $40 labour charge and possibly up to $70. Thank you for helping me to keep the money in MY wallet!

  • @weaselwovel
    @weaselwovel Год назад

    Thank you!!! You are right, everyone shows how to replace the passenger side, it is so frustrating! I was happy to find your video actually showing how to get in there.

    @ZwiftingWithGranny 2 года назад +2

    Thank you! This was perfect. Two new bulbs in in less than 10 minutes. There's another video that tells you to remove that whole top piece. Glad I saw your video first!

  • @erinkruger6640
    @erinkruger6640 3 года назад +5

    Thank you so much for actually doing the driver side! So annoying that everyone does the passenger side. Everyone kept telling me I would have to unscrew the whole fuse box to get to the light.

    • @melissacritchley5838
      @melissacritchley5838 2 года назад +2

      I was told the same by the parts guy. I didn't feel comfortable with that.

  • @jestertheslacker
    @jestertheslacker 3 года назад +1

    The thing about the gasket (he calls it a seal) is critical. Many will struggle with that if they don’t watch this video. Thanks for posting.

  • @johnniegold7087
    @johnniegold7087 3 года назад +2

    This video was so HELPFUL. Whoever designed the engine bay for the Kia Soul, is a POS. I almost removed the whole headlight just to change the bulb. Thanks again 👊🏿💯

  • @stephenlee596
    @stephenlee596 10 месяцев назад

    I replaced this bulb tonight in -10 C, jeans, light jacket and no gloves (just a flashlight for light). By the end I was cursing on Kia and thinking someone should be fired for this design. Couldn't blow the passenger side! Had to be the driver's. Got it. Came in and told my wife how hard it was and decided to watch a video to see if there was a trick to it. Loads of passenger side videos... Then I came across this one. Man, I wish I had saw this video first! I got two seals on that light now. I nicked up my fingers forcing the cap back in place (I did figure out to take the fuse box cover off). This is the second time I've stumbled across one of your videos when doing work - maybe also on the Soul. You're a good mechanic and you make good videos. I just need to start looking for them before I do a job!!

  • @lovemycountry4948
    @lovemycountry4948 Год назад

    @yhu5092 11 месяцев назад

    Excellent video and instructions - did the passenger side a couple weeks ago and had watched your video; of course, the driver's side bulb burnt a couple days ago and was really happy to review your video; indeed, reinstalling the gray clip to the bulb was tricky - I used the flat screwdriver to catch the clip and realign it to connect. Thanks again.

  • @MrGunnar1986
    @MrGunnar1986 Год назад

    This was the most useful video, to change my headlights I used one Flathead to push down and I use my index finger to wiggle the wiring harness off of the light bulb,
    I changed both of my headlights in less than 7 minutes... I even showed my mechanic how to do it

  • @nj14devilsfan30
    @nj14devilsfan30 2 года назад

    these instructions also work for 2014 Souls as well. First time a headlight went out and of course it was on the more difficult driver side. Thank you for the detailed demonstration!

  • @atlantawebster
    @atlantawebster Год назад

    Tony, Thank You very much I thought I would have to remove the battery and loosen the fuse panel. So I did it your way and it took me about 10 minutes your instruction were not very technical but they were PERFECT.

  • @davidsax1188
    @davidsax1188 3 года назад +2

    Just like other people have commented here , I want to again say thank you for making this video, I have a 2016 and I just ordered LED replacement bulbs and I didn’t know how I was going to get to the driver side without removing the whole fuse box, thank you so much for this video, this is awesome !!!!

  • @geraldvandenberg9673
    @geraldvandenberg9673 2 года назад

    I know this an old video but very useful. My driver side low beam burnt out on my 2019 soul. And I went to change and I couldn’t figure out how to get it off. So went to RUclips. The first video I watched said the only way to take it off, is remove the headlight assembly. This is so much easier. Thanks

  • @JShred85
    @JShred85 2 года назад +5

    Thank you so much! I’d replaced the passenger bulb before, but had no clue when I tried to do the driver side. Some might find it redundant, but I really appreciate that you explained everything in detail and repeated some steps. It really helps those of us that are less mechanically inclined. The hardest for me was locking the bulb back in.

  • @onlysadie6533
    @onlysadie6533 3 года назад +3

  • @MM_1600
    @MM_1600 Год назад

    You are the man. Had the drivers headlight go out and I am so happy I found your video because you made it a 5 minute job to replace both lights. I wish you did one for the 2008 NC Mx5 Miata, those are such a pain in the a$$....

  • @marissalynn1874
    @marissalynn1874 4 года назад +2

    Thank you so much! This video is so helpful. You saved me so much time and money. I was told by auto zone and oreilly that they couldn’t replace it because they would have to remove the fuse box and bumper. Told by an auto shop that it would be 75.00 or more and told by my dealership it would take 2 weeks. Thank you so much for teaching me how to do this on my own.

Felt like such a boss in the. parking lot replacing this, men coming around to 'see if i was ok'... ha dude! 100% but thank you! And thank you to Califor 2A for a great vid.

    Thanks for this video! The actual method of removing the bulb is simple, and I would have easily figured that out on my own. But getting around the fuse box, and the part about the rubber seals would have caused me a major headache!

  • @Thesyolanda
    @Thesyolanda 2 года назад +1

    This looks so easy, especially after trying to do this a few minutes ago. I wish I saw this video first then I would have been done instead of having to go back out and try it again. I hope I didn't damage the wires. Wish me luck. This was so much easier on my Sorento.

    this may be the best instructional video I've ever watched. I love how detailed it was, even down to finger placement and when he reassembled it he showed the two screwdriver technique again to reinforce the lesson, is this guy like a trained educator who is a mechanic on the side?
