Here is the drivers side if you need it: • How to change the head...
This is a great way to save a few dollars and replace it yourself. Fair warning, it is tricky, but this video should help!
Jeep Grand Cherokee Headlight Bulbs Replacement Guide:
Learn how to change or replace the lights of a Jeep Grand Cherokee in 5 minutes!
This is a how to and is the quickest and easiest way to change out the headlight bulbs on your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Model Year: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
Completing this through the hood of the vehicle is the fastest and easiest way to replace the headlights of your vehicle. I do not recommend going by under the wheel.
Owners of other Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and RAM SUV or minivan vehicles with similar headlight bulb housings such as the Town & Country, Patriot, Compass, Cherokee, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, and C/V Tradesman may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.
Replacement headlight bulbs with their part numbers are as follows: Low Beam # H11, High Beam # 9005, Front Turn Signal # 7444NA, Front Side Marker # 2825 and DRL # 3157.
No tools are needed to replace any of the passengers side headlight bulbs.

Having done my fair share of automotive repairs over the years I could not believe the level of frustration this one little light bulb replacement was causing me! Your video was just what I needed. Thanks Much!!!
Glad it helped. Please subscribe =)
The people who design these vehicles should be told.. alright, now that the vehicle is all assembled and completed off the line. Change the part. Maybe then cars would be more owner friendly. Until then, we struggle.! And to think that my classic 69 Chevrolet Chevelle has headlights still working after 36 years that I've owned it. But new cars last maybe two years at best.! I've gone through 4 sets of bulbs in my 2015 GMC Sierra pickup. At that's with manually turning the daytime running lights off during the day.!
So I just changed the passenger side and I agree accessing it from the under the hood is best however, once plate is off to the side and cap is removed I think its much easier to turn bulb 1/4 when accessing from the wheel well. You can get a better grip from there. Just my .02c!
Thanks. This method works! One added tip: If your bulb is stuck and won’t turn (45 degrees counter clockwise to come out), you can use a 22mm or 7/8” crowfoot wrench over the edges of the bulb’s plastic to twist it free. Thanks again for the clear explanation. Great job!
Maybe odd question but how do you fit 22mm in there?
I cant twist 45 deg clockwise to install it(it just barely locks).
I have been searching for this tip! Thank you very much! My neighbor and I have been trying to get the old bulb to turn with no luck. Will wiggle side to side but no turn. So frustrating. Will have to look at my crowfoot set to see if I go one big enough. If not, and opportunity to buy another tool. Yes!
@@BOTmaster15 Hope I understand your question correctly: A regular 22mm or 7/8” wrench will not fit on the bulb. But, a crowfoot-wrench head will fit. Then, a simple ratchet extension attached to the crowfoot head provides the handle, and necessary leverage. Careful! Don’t let your leverage/strength over tighten the new bulb.
My old one was stuck in there nice and tight. And at such an odd angle I could on get a thumb on it. I ended up having to go from the underneath access point to get a couple of fingers on it but still…. No lucked. I was able to get a very small screwdriver through the bottom and basically push it loose and then use my hand to get the rest.
Not an easy task. Idk why it has to be so difficult… did both sides today. Took about 1.5 hours to get both done. The drivers side was the more labor intensive side.
I’m having the same problem, the bulb is stuck in its place…. I have made several trips back to the tool box but nothing yet. I did however, see my sludge hammer off to the side and had some very ugly thoughts pop in my head but I quickly recovered…. Still working on it!
You are a blessing to humanity...... I was prepared to make my 13 year old change the bulb cause my hands couldn’t fit at all
I had the same issue at first and couldn’t find any good videos. I’m glad I could help!
i realize it is kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Avery Kabir Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Damon Dallas Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
@Damon Dallas Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
Great video! Will be attempting this tomorrow once I get my bulb! Thank you:)
Glad I was able to help! Please subscribe if you can
I must try this tomorrow after work. I'm hoping for the best. I'll let you know....
Thank you so much! Made my day much easier. Good job.
No problem!
Is the beer a required as part of the procedure? LOL good presentation. I was done in a matter of minutes
I have a 2019 and the passenger side is more difficult than what you have there. They got more crap up there by the radiator fill box compared to 2015. I can barely get my hands on it to give it a proper turn. I can't twist my wrist into position for the turn. My hands aren't that big..I swear Chrysler made it this way on purpose. Maybe I can try the crow foot idea someone mentioned.
I used to change my bulbs on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee by myself thanks to UA-cam but I am unable to unclip and move that one part to be able to access the bulb housing, though it feels like it's a silicone cover and not a twist off on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've decided that since 1 bulb burned out I should replace both. I'm the 2nd owner of the car and it only has 37K miles.. I didn't have to replace my bulbs with my 2015 until well over 100k. It just recently was totaled and was at 310k miles still going very strong! Stupid driver pulled in front of me. Anyways my neighbor is going to try to wiggle that part out hopefully with success so I don't have to pay $116 to have them replaced 🤷🏾♀️
Hope you are able to have them help!
I believe the rubber part pulls off rather than twist
If you have a 2017 trailhawk the tank is bigger than the one in the video making it very difficult to gain access. The cap is a rubber cap and super easy to get off to gain access to the light, but a cross member is in the way and my hands are to large to turn the bulb I can only get my finger tips on with no way to turn it no matter what way I get in it.
Thanks for the info!
Same issue with my 2017 trailhawk. My husband could only get 2 fingers in and I could get 3, but couldn’t get leverage to rotate it. What ended up working for you, Alex?
Just did this, driver side was fairly easy just remove the air box. On a 2018 the passenger side has the coolant reservoir in the way. You do NOT need to un-plug the engine computer, just pop it up and move it over. Hardest part was trying to twist the new bulb back in, had to put one hand through the hood opening and the other through the plastic pop-out lid in the fender and get a few fingers on the bulb to twist it in. I put in LEDs which were round and had nothing to really grasp on to so it made it a little more difficult. Definitely worth it!
just tried to do the same to a similar car, ended up with 2 cuts, 1 broken bulb, and now the car is going 1 halogen and 1 led for the rest of the week lol.
@@MrBoaredman Haha thats funny, yeah I had many many cuts as well
The 2016 s have a different coolant resevoir that needs to be moved out of the way as well.
Just a FYI my 2020 had just a rubber boot that pulls off instead a twist off headlight cover
My 2017 did as well, which both broke apart in pieces when I pulled them off lol
Currently trying this on a 2019 GC. I have access to the bulb now. Is it a quarter turn left or right to take it out?
Thank you so much. I cannot get the bulb housing to turn in order to pop it out. I'm afraid I'm going to break it. ???
The bulb itself. I shouldn't have said housing. I'm in the hole but can't turn the sucker.
Hope you were able to get it!
I had to unscrew it from the wheel and lift it out from up top, not a fun procedure.
Why did the headlamp go out so quick on my 2019 jeep? My 2014 Audi Q5 has never had a problem. Just curious if this is a widespread problem with Jeep.
I’m not so sure
Whoever put that bulb in probably touched the bulb with there bare hands , touching the bulb with your bare hands shortens the life span of the bulb
Do you drive with the Pepsi can on the engine?
There are several videos on GC low beam bulb replacement, but I don't see any on high beam. I wonder if they are harder still to get to since they are further outside?
I have this same question. Changing the low beam bulbs was a breeze but haven’t found anything on how to change the high beam bulbs.
I have not tried the high beams
They probably aren’t changed as often as they are used less than the low beams, therefore they have a longer life cycle.
Headlight bulb* not headlight
is this for the low beam on passenger's side?
Correct, I also have a video for the drivers side too
@@drewcarter7948 cool, thx. Just Replaced passenger side low beam. Thanks for the video
The engineer who thought this was a good idea should be fired and never have a PE.
Did anyone else have their check engine light come on after changing the passenger side bulb?
5:01 my check engine came on and all these codes popped up. After putting plug back in. I may have to take to mechanic. Somethings wrong
@@jacquelinerodriguez5800 i haven't checked the codes yet. Hoping its just because the computer was unplugged. If you figure it out please let me know
@@mikerowand1183 I ended up having to go thru all the trouble of unplugging both batteries overnight and when I plugged them all the codes were gone but one P00FD- Engine. not happy about that P00FD- Engine I would avoid unplugging the PCU all together
Have same problem. Did you have to take it to the mechanic?
@@mikerowand1183did your issue get resolved on its own? I'm having same problem freaking out don't want a expensive bill coming my way 😞
Make sure you have H11 or the D3S. And anotherbtip after you connect the new bulb but before installing wipe the bulb with a alcohol pad. If not your bulb may burn out sooner.
I’ll try this Before put an ad online for small hands to change mine lol. They want you to use a 👨🔧 for everything now.
This is definitely not a job for anyone who wears a tie to work my hands are still cut to shit
I’m on the same page as you! Once you get the hang of it you won’t have a problem moving forward.
Very well detailed. Just did the passenger on a 19 jeep grand cherokee limited. Big ups for the help.
Glad I could help!
I have a 2019 and I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the passenger side done. Can't twist my wrist to give it a proper turn once my fingers are on it
Same for me
My 2017 doesn’t have a removable cap, just that little soft plug
Also can’t get that piece out of the way that you moved first
Which way do you quarter turn it? In the middle of changing one and it’s a b**ch to turn and figure it out. Thanks for the video, it has been a great help. Not a very well thought out access, or maybe it was on purpose, so when you go to do it, and find out you can’t, you have to take it in anyways.
I went through about a dozen videos trying to find one that makes this the easiest. None of them seem to get all the steps, but this one comes closest. That said, everyones experience will be different depending on the year of your Jeep and the trim level. Mine is a 2016 Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6, and in mine the coolant tank is much larger than the one seen in this video. My coolant tank is black and blocks the entire front of that ACU that you also have to move. So on mine i had to unscrew two bolts holding the coolant tank to the frame, then it only has a tiny bit of wiggle room to slightly move it to the right side, just enough to reach those two red clips on the ACU to take those off. Also, on mine, removing the ACU wasn't as easy as it appears here, mine had two difficult to reach clips that had to be pushed back, then it took quite a bit of strength and wiggling to get it to start to come free, and since my coolant tank was larger than the one here, i had just a tiny bit of room to move the ACU to the right, in the end i just barely had enough room to get in there and get the bulb out, which surprisingly turned out to be easier than i though since you are doing it blind. Overall it's a ridiculous amount of work to do just to replace a bulb. This is something i'm going to look at ahead of time before i purchase my next new vehicle.
This and the Driver’s side video definitely helped me change my 2019 Jeep GC. But man, your components came out quick without much effort. All of mine were in there snug and took some real muscle to get out of place. For the passenger side, I had to go in through top and bottom access points using both hands for some strength. Luckily I have long arms!
Thanks for the videos
Yes a little muscle is needed for sure.
Please share more details. I have a 2019 and I can't get enough purchase on the bulb to work it out. What a PITA... Failed engineering.
@@Ohio_Motonaut How did you finally get the bulb out? I'm working my ass off trying to get the low beam right side out. It's like seized in there.
@@drewcarter7948, I'm working on my low beams, I got the left side out & in but the right side bulb is seized in there, I've tried about everything, even got a Cresent wrench on it end ways and put a screwdriver through the hole in the handle to pry, I put so much pressure on it I thought I"d break something. Any ideas?
@@jimwilliams3212 I crafted a tool to get in there and just played around until I was able to break it free. It was a giant PITA. Terrible design.
I’m about to go change my headlight now !
Did this method and now my check engine light came on. Not sure what to do
Unclip the light plug, then rotate out lamp. Seemed a little easier for me
I think I removed the casing , thus exposing wires, I couldn't figure out how to remove the whole thing. Beyond that I just removed the plate-like part and my thinner hands fit. Great video.
Thanks for this video. I didn't know you could POP off that module and my hands barely fit in that damn hole in the wheel liner
It’s not easy!
Thank you I searched for a good video on this. The port hole method did not work on my 2016. So I winded up taking it to the dealership. They say you have to drop the bumper cover and charge for 2 hrs labor. Next time I will know this is prob the exact same thing their going to do. Oops they jus called and only charged an 1/2 hr! God bless you for this video!
Thank you! Please subscribe 🙂
The dealer must have found his video lol
Thanks for the video. It's so easy to follow. I'm ordering my replacement bulb right now (Amazon) The auto part stores are charging over $100 for an HID low beam bulb for my 2013 Grand Cherokee! Taking it to a shop to have it replaced is crazy insane ($260, parts and labor)! After watching your video, I have the confidence to do it myself! Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Your video makes it look 'doable'.
I compiled some Amazon light products that are compatible with the Jeep carterdrew126.wixsite.com/jeep-grand-cherokee (also in the description of this video)
Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to find a good video with the steps for the passengers side!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for an excellent video not describing but showing the actual removal and replacement. and 2 different video for driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Please subscribe if you can
I’m still having trouble with the turn..lol
Patience is a virtue
Thanks for your video. It was very helpful to me. I bought the Jeep as a second owner. The plug on the left had a broken red release bar, so I was not able to unplug it but the bracket moved out of the way enough to get to the light.
You don't need to unplug the ECU it will shift over far enough while still plugged in. 2016 limited needed to move the coolant reservoir first.Otherwise good info
my 2015 is ds3 light bulb
Only Chrysler would make a stupid design and even make a access point that doesn't work. At least these junks only last 100k miles. Go buy yourself a Japanese brand and make your life and checkbook suffer less
mine just would not twist at all. 2014 model, like it's super glued in there. unable to remove burnt out bulb
Mine was a real pain to get in .
I had to use a long socket extension up through the wheel well and place it up above the connection to the bulb and pry down a little to where I felt it turn slightly. I then went back to the hood area and was able to use my right hand two fingers to twist it out. Putting it back in was a pain as well and I sure hope I was able to twist it tight because once again no way to get enough grip on it to feel it twist into place.
I believe the 2021 bulbs are way different, I’m trying to change mine now and looking for the part and it looks like it has a module attached to it
Thank you. I think. I'll find out in about 20 minutes!
No problem. Please subscribe!
Thank you!
Thank you. Can you please subscribe?
Awesome video!!!! Was going to take mine into the dealership but not now...
Glad I was able to help. Please subscribe if you can.
I checked around to find a shop to replace my passenger side bulb on my 2013 Grand Cherokee and the HID bulb alone was roughly $105 , (with the labor they were asking $260 total!) from Auto Zone and O'Rielly's! That highway robbery for real! Amazon has the replacement bulbs for wayyyy cheaper and I can put it in myself!
@@mz.mindurbizness7084 Bulb for mine was almost $150. Got it at O Riley and someone there installed if for free... A shop not the dealership was going to charge $150 labor saying he would have to remove the headlight assembly. That MF er wouldn't come loose for me sooo
The engineers that designed this need to be beat... what a pain in the rear
Thank you! Best video out there on the subject!
Thank you very much. If you subscribe I would appreciate it!
Thank you!
In the beginning where you unclip and take that piece off and move it out of the way
It looks like it comes undone so easy for you
Mine doesn't really nudge? Do I have to be rough with it? Thanks
Yes for the video I loosened it up. You need to play with it
Can you access both high and low beam on both driver and passenger side from the hood by removing the air filter and the stuff on the passenger side? On the passenger side Seems like I can get to the low beam not too bad from the fender and the high beam from the hood without removing anything. Driver side i can get to the high beam from the fender, but low beam seems impossible from the fender.
It might be possible, but I’m not too sure. Sorry
Are there two lightbulbs for each side? One for low beam and one for high beam? Or are they both the same bulb?
Each side has a low and high beam. To get the correct light just Google search you vehicle and which one you want to replace
Is it the same for HID lights
Dealer ship charges 135 just for man labor to change this
Mann this video is a life saver for normal humans who still cherish hundred dollar bills like there actually a hundred dollar bill
Earned that subscription buddy good job
Thank you very much!
Lefty loose on the bulb?
Hardest headlight I’ve had to change so far
Thank you for your video. The instructions were great, however, expect to get your hands cut up.
Yeah, I mean it is a little of a hassle. This is the easier way. Thank you! Please subscribe 🙂
Clockwise or counterclockwise????
Counter clockwise to remove - lefty loosey. But remember it’s counter clockwise as if you are sitting in the vehicle… not as you are staring at the engine bay. And it’s just a 1/4 turn.
Good video
Thank you! Please subscribe 🙂
This could not be less clear. Genuinely the worst tutorial for this I've watched so far.
