    Great video my dude. 5 years ago... You made a video and it helped me today. Made me (and my partner's) day.

    Fun fact. I bought this Grand cherokee one month later! Still have it, runs like new! Shoutout to Gmotorsusa!

    Thank you so much for your explanation. You told me the spinning direction of the bulb and I made it. At first I turned in the wrong direction and couldn't get it down. My strenth is not strong and I thought maybe the bulb was too tight. I almost gave up when I watch your reel again and got the tip. I'm so happy I get it done and saved $200.
    You have a great day!

    Great video. One guy in UA-cam was removing all kinds of stuff to gain access. I literally just changed both my bulbs to LED'S with 10 minutes both sides. Thanks again for this video. 🙂🙂

    Great Video.
    For a bit more space, turn the wheel all the way left for the right bulb, and all the way right for the left bulb.

    For it being such a tight space your camera work is impressive. Thank you.

    Have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it is much harder than what you show, having a larger brace/structure directly in front of the wheel-well-hole. Tom Wheatley did a similar video, but because of his 'sausage fingers' (his words, not mine), he had to remove items from within the engine compartment to get to the bulb. For me, marrying a nurse with strong, small hands, was the key. She was able to use your method to finally get the job done. Love her to death! Thanks for the video

    Made it easy to just change at home rather than going to the shop. For a girl they will always make it seem its complicated and charge more. Thanks

    Great video. Easy and to the point. Just changed both sides in around 15 min total. Other videos had me thinking I practically needed to remove either the enter front end or the entire engine (practically) to access headlights. Some videos also suggested i would "cut up my hands" doing it the way you demonstrated. So wrong. This was so much easier than i thought it would be. So glad i found this video, years after you made it 😁

  • @jeliason753
    @jeliason753 4 роки тому +8

    Good information, thank you! I agree with everyone that the design is poor with horrendous access. With my larger hands, I found it helpful to remove the ECM (3 bolts and two large wire connectors) allowing more free access from the top. (I was changing the passenger side). Then, using a combination of top and bottom approach through the wheel well aperture, as well as using a small tool as a lever to break free the bulb holder, I was successful. (I couldn't get a good grip to turn it loose without the lever). It took me about an hour 😠

    Remember! Do not touch the bulb glass with your bare fingers as this can leave residue that will create a hot spot and shorten the life of the bulb.

    As painful as this process is (mostly to the right hand and forearm - for the driver side headlamp!), this video helped me get it done for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Kudos!

    @thomasstefanich9574 Рік тому

    Thank you for the video helped a ton, definitely tighter if you have the 2012 model, killed my wrists but eventually got it to turn right to unsnap from caseing. Had to do the top/ bottom back n forth to make it work. Small hands are advised.

    Great video on how to change the high beam bulb even though it’s so easy that you don’t really need any help or information. Too bad you couldn’t do one for the low beam bulb like you said you were doing.

    Your method works well on both sides of the car. It is tight and hard to maneuver but it doesn;t take long to change out both low beams.

  • @timkoczur9409
    @timkoczur9409 4 роки тому

    Unlike most light assemblies I’ve encountered in the past where the bulb only goes in the correct hole, this assembly has a space between the headlamp assembly wall and the cone area where the build goes. Put the electrical connector on first or you can accidentally push the bulb underneath where it’s supposed to fit and you will potentially lose it within the lamp assembly - as I did. One more bulb later and connecting the electrical connector saved me from repeating my error. Otherwise, great vid! Thank you

    So does this change your driving lights or is it the actual headlight. My headlights are led and supposably cost $500 to replace. So if this is for the headlights and not running lights that would be great!

    @mikeadams5410 5 років тому

    Not knocking the video just passing off my experience with this process. I just replaced mine and had a heck of a time I ended up having to pull the airbox and was able to slide the coolant reservoir out of the way with the hoses connected to get more clearance. 10mm for the reservoir two up top and one lower on the inside and a flat head to remove the intake hose clamp then pull the box off of the grommets. There is another piece attached to the bottom airbox that will need to come out as well. Just my two cents. Good luck I'm cheap and like doing it myself but these were a mofo for sure and would gladly pay to have it done
