Incredible. Thank you so much. The owner manual says if the bulb
replacement is not in the manual, take your car to the dealer. Your video
saved me a service call, time, and inconvenience. The trick to get the
rubber gasket off worked very nicely with a little effort. Keep up the good
work. The other sites say take off the grill, the headlight assembly, the
side light wires, etc. Your video made it simple and straight forward.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. My passenger-side high-beam went
out, and after popping the hood and beginning to remove the entire
headlight assembly, I thought: "There's gotta be an easier way...". After
watching this video, the new bulb was in and functioning in less than 5
minutes (inadvertently disconnected the plug before removing the bulb, and
almost dropped the plug inside the assembly). Many thanks!
PRO TIP: If you have large forearms like myself, these instructions may be
painful for you. Your arm is probably not going to fit through the "arm
shredder". If this is the case, simply remove the three screws from the air
filter cover and get all of that mess out of your way. Hell, if you just
want more room in general to work you should do this. Thank me later.
My husband started taking apart the front also and stopped to check
youtube. His arm was too big to fit, but mine just made it. Thanks for the
warning about the bracket - I cushioned it a bit first so my skin is only
bruised instead of broken! Next time, though, I'll change the easy side
first so I'll get a feel for where things are on the side I can't see.
glad we saw this...Advance said they couldn't help me change the bulb b/c
they would have to remove parts to do it, so I brought it home to my
husband and we found this video, which helped both of us keep our sense of
humor when wrestling with the stupid way auto makers have designed this
junk ---both headlights now changed.......thanks.....
You described it perfect including tearing up my arm on that sharp corner.
Unfortunately the low beam bulb is the hard one to reach. The sharp corner
has no reason for being there and I took a file and ground it down to a
less offensive shape. It is plastic and easy to shape. I hope the GM
designer of this burns in hell.
Diga o que quiser sobre carros franceses ... termostato do Encore Renault é
o mais fácil de mudar de qualquer carro. É no interior da mangueira de
radiador superior ... 5 minutos, feito. Não me faça começar a falar sobre
eletrônica em carros novos. Eles perderam suas mentes.
One thing I ought to have mentioned was to not touch the glass with your
fingers. The oil from your skin will bake off and leave black carbon tracks
that cause the glass to soak up heat and melt. The toughest part is
twisting out the bulb with your hand and wrist at an odd angle.
@TargetDriver Well im a master ASE tech...just saw the vid as a facebook
post so i thought i'd check it out since i used to work on all GM
models...now im just cadillac...but yeh...my arm does not fit in that
space...taking the grille off isn't hard to do so that is my method :)
Thank you so much for this video. I paid $45.00 to have this bulbchanged
last time. But this time it only cost me $10.99 for the bulb and about 5
mins!. Chevy should be ashamed of their selves. When you know better, you
do better & save $$$. Thanks again.
When you held up your arm I thought, "I got one of them!" I had just left
AutoZone where I was told I would have to remove the whole grill just to
change one light bulb. Sounded like crap to me. Your video saved me a lot
of hassle and broken stuff. Thanks!
I tell you what, I have a 2005 Chevrolet trailblazer and I've only had it
for about 8 months now and this has got to be the worst design I've ever
seen! Why in the world would they make it so darn difficult to change the
headlight lamp?! It's ridiculous.
@PoppinKizz Yup, terrible thing, I'm sure. Having to spend extra to get
shirts that fit right and women not giving you any peace...must be rough ;
) How did you end up getting that light changed? Did you run into any
trouble going in from the front?
@PastorMikmac My thoughts exactly...after I had already done the grille
R&R. I didn't want anybody else to have to go through all that nonsense. I
hope you didn't lose any skin or blood on that. I was pretty raw after a
few takes. Steve
It's a little tricky to do because you are working blind, in a small space,
one-handed, and basically only using your finger tips. But it can be done.
Thanks for posting this. You saved me from risking the hassle of removing
my grill.
thanks for sharing the info on the bulb the hardest to get to, out of all
four. I am Female and taking the grill off was a no no for me cause I
wanted to do it myself and thanks to your video, I did it! in about 5 to 7
min.
The front grill removes by just pulling back its attached only by clips.
And then each headlight has 2 tabs u pull up on. Its very easy and its
pretty hard to break grill. Ive dont this like 6 timea never broken a tab.
Awesome video! It literally took me only 5 minutes to change my headlight
bulb after watching this. The hardest part is not leaving a chunk of flesh
on the bracket. I wedged a paper towel next to my arm. Thank you!
Awesome instruction!! I was trying to fix it last week and gave up with
trying to remove the old grill without breaking it. After your video it
took me about 3 minutes to fix it! Thanks for posting this!!!
Dude, video isn't great quality, but you are BRILLIANT! Taking apart half
of my truck to swap out a headlight is STUPID... I changed the driver side
light in less time than your video, thanks a MILLION!!
That was the outboard bulb on the passenger side. The three other bulbs
don't present much of a challenge. I'd consider re-shooting it except that
Karl, my cameraman, has died.

How to quickly change a headlight on a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer.
You are my hero of the day. This works and took me 5 minutes and had a
phone call I took within that 5 minutes. I was charged 85.00 by Firestone
to change both my lights last time. This was so easy. My light was bad on
the opposite side and I just had to take out the air filter and had very
easy access. Everyone save yourself time and money and watch this video and
you will be extremely happy.
Just did exactly as describe in the parking lot waiting for my wife to pick
up groceries. Simple as he said it was. By clip the narrator is referring
to the wiring harness wether tight connector retaining feature to the bulb
connection.
Thanks man, this vid helped a lot. My moms light went out just before we
were gunna leave to see family for thanksgiving. Now we don't have to worry
about Getting a ticket.
Thank you! Last time my light was out a friend changed it for me. This time
I wanted to do it myself and I knew I didn't have to take off the grill.
This was very helpful.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows you what is involved. You might need to remove the grille to access the bolts that hold them in place.
