Hey man just wanted to say thanks for this simple and helpful video. I needed my headlight bulb connector changed and I called a couple mechanics and they told me they were weeks out plus it was going to cost over $100 at least to fix. So I looked up videos and found yours. Bought the part for $20. Took my time, and 40 mins later it was fixed and works! Saved me a ton of hassle and time and money. I also know a new skill now. Thanks!
thanks so much for this tutorial! i'll be attempting this on my headlight tomorrow and i feel so much more confident because of your clear instructions
On our 2003 Chevy Cavalier the burned socket has 3 wires: Black in the middle, Red and Green (Green is burned) on the sides. A new socket (exactly same as in this film) I bought has 3 wires - all Black. Does it matter which one goes on Red which one on Green, if I connect central Black wires together? Thank you for so useful and informative film.
My car came with custom led headlights and those lights come with alot of trouble..my question is can i use the same process to go back to stock headlights?
Did you find the solution? On our 2003 Chevy Cavalier the burned socket has 3 wires: Black in the middle, Red and Green (Green is burned) on the sides. A new socket (exactly same as in this film) I bought has 3 wires - all Black. I have a question, if it matters which one goes on Red which one on Green, if I connect central Black wires together. But from you post follows that it won't work correctly either way. Did you use same blue socket?

@@roberthaizlip4057 Lol. It SEEMS. But it's the same process of removing the bulb, but now you have to remove ALL the bulbs and run the wiring back through without catching and tangling. I assure you a quick splice isn't as long. Lol. He went slower because he was demonstrating.
@@PaulWeezy50 Not much to really tangle on and there's only 4 bulbs to unplug click, click , click click done....ur not "removing" bulbs just simply unplugging them lol
@roberthaizlip4057 Clearly you haven't done it on this model. Lol. I have. You have to go through individual compartments and run the wires through. I didn't say it was extremely hard, but it's definitely more tedious and time consuming. Also, You still have to "remove" the bulbs if you're installing new wiring. Unless you plan on replacing perfectly good bulbs. 😂

I really appreciate how you did the passenger side a more shop professional way, then the driver side more amateur but very good diy.

Thanks for this video, man. It's great. Also, what the eff! I didn't know there was an automatic wire stripping tool! That thing looks DOPE!
Thank you so much for this! I crimped the butt connectors wrong so many times, but I eventually go it ❤😂
That camera man is very skilled.
Hell yeah. I can do this. Thanks for making it look easy!
You do good work sir!

Very nice me Sr
Couldn't u just buy new harness and plug it in both ends and done??
Then you'll have to disconnect all of the bulbs instead of just the bulbs affected. Some ppl don't want the hassle
@@PaulWeezy50 Seems a ton shorter work and hassle than this lol
