    8:10-9:10 THANK YOU . I could not figure out those dang clips. Really appreciate such a solid camera angle. Seeing you struggle as well made me feel better. I should be able to get mine off now.
    Liked and subbed thanks!!!

      Thanks for your comment, Recycle Please. This white van is my boss's van. We own teh silver 2010 you might have seen in some of our videos. The 2010 & old have a separate playlist. The 2011 & newer have their own as well.

    I have a '12 GC. It takes 2 H11 bulbs on each side. The bulb on the driver's side looks like it's going to be the hard one, but it was actually easier. The passenger side is tight with the wire when it's turned to 3 o'clock. Putting it back in without the wire connect (which is what I did,) isn't necessarily easier. Getting the bulb into place and then the connector on the bulb are both done by feel with very little room. Removing the top of the air cleaner doesn't help. If you could take the whole air cleaner out, that would give you lots of room. However, it's still a quick job to replace both once you know where to feel at. My new LED bulbs are working great.

    Hey I couldn't take out the passenger side low beam. Is there a click or extra way to pull it out? Its not twisting much and coming out.

    • @unclemarksdiyauto
      @unclemarksdiyauto  2 года назад

      It will be tight. Can you just wiggle it back and forth and when it gets back to the left or counter clockwise position, it should come out. No extra secret way to remove it I am afraid.

      @@unclemarksdiyauto hi yes that side was a complete fight so I had no choice but to be destructive. I ended up using a scissors to break the connector out from the bulb and then used the scissors to push the broken bulb inwards into the headlight and then put the new bulb and connector back in. Wondering if the old bulb and its attached metal piece are safe in the headlight because there's no way to get that out of there lol without absolutely shattering the headlight glass open. My hands were tied. I had no choice lol

      Easier with the complete filter box out. Maybe I will do one on the drivers side bulbs and mention pulling the filter box on the passenger side. (Or maybe I should just redo this video! So many things on the schedule at the moment!)

      @unclemarksdiyauto  Год назад

      Which bulb? One of the headlights? They turn off when a signal is blinking. Computer controls that. So it is possible something with computer. Also might be a fuse for each headlight. Is that what you are asking?

    If a person changes to LED light bulbs 💡 on a 2014 town and country van, could the police 🚔 pull you over and fine you for being to bright???

    • @unclemarksdiyauto
      @unclemarksdiyauto  Год назад

      I am not a legal expert Dean, but I am sure they can! Here in Canada I found out it is illegal to put LED headlight bulbs in a vehicle that didn't come like that from the factory. (So you might get 2 tickets? 1 for too bright, 1 for wrong equipment?) The 2011 & newer vans have 2 bulbs per side. I just did a video on a 2010 that only has 1 bulb per side. I did a comparison of brightness and color. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/F-5OiVoEDNM/видео.html
