Change the Headlight on a GMC Terrain

Here I change the headlight on a 2012 GMC Terrain. It was actually pretty easy and took about 10 minutes.
All I needed was an Allen Wrench.

Thank you so much for this video!! I caught your video after I saw another one removing the front side of the car!! I was able to change my lightbulb within 5 mins thanks to you!!

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Oh that's awesome. It sounds like it saved you some time and effort. Good job!!

[@daniellerhodes6290]

Great video! I just changed mine in under 10 minutes (paused to rewatch the video). The dealership charges me over 100 for the other one as it was a complicated replacement. 🙄
Thanks for sharing!! 🙏😊
P.S. you need a hex screwdriver. I have tips in my rachet set.

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Awesome, glad it was helpful! Some of the small maintenance items for these cars are crazy expensive. I was quoted $25 to change an air filter once…

Drew, you & your video on changing the bulb, saved my sanity! Thank goodness my Terrain has the panel above the wheel well! Didn't have to call my brothers lol!

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Haha awesome! Glad to hear it was helpful! I’ve seen videos for other years that don’t have the access panel and it looks like a big job.

[@nenanjc]

Yes! I saw a 2015 bulb replacement & thank heavens I didn't need to go through the bumper removal.

[@doriprice4103]

Never touch the glass bulb with fingers.

[@Truthisfoundinthescriptures]

Thank for the step by step lesson!!!!

[@MyProjectWeekend]

You’re welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@dand8566]

Aldo it is a T20 torx drive for the fastener which holds the exterior cover in place.

[@susangeorge5399]

Thanks so much! This video was so helpful! Got er done!

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Awesome glad it was helpful!!

Great video. Thanks

I wish it was that easy but a 2014 Terrain SLT, contrary to another UA-camr does not have that type of wheel well. I'm just wondering if it's just the base Terrain that have that access.

[@sargecb54]

I have a 2014 SLT that has that access.

[@franktorres8386]

My 2016 doesn’t have the cap, all solid. Do I need to drop the whole fender lining ?

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Yeah not all models have the access port. Here is a video from someone who was able to do it by puling back the fender lining: ua-cam.com/video/ZAVJdpd3uo8/v-deo.html

[@franktorres8386]

I was able to get it done thank you

[@jatmarybsalva]

Love it DUDE for a girl perfect fix.

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Thank you, glad it helped!

T-20 screw driver recommended for all screws

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Cool!

[@ffighter6932]

Allen wrench worked this time but that looks like a torx screw to me.

[@dand8566]

Try not to touch the bulb as oil from your fingers will create a hot spot on the bulb which can lead to premature failure. It is a Halogen bulb.

[@ffighter6983]

Mine still doesn't have one.

[@lewisrushing1013]

1:50 mark helps alot

[@erichampton2834]

On my 2014 there's no cap like this one too open

I found another video that shows how to change the bulb without the access cap. I hope this helps!

[@kenbronnson7714]

You are not supposed to touch the glass on a halogen bulb with your finger.

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Yeah that's a good point.

[@oleguy5705]

@@MyProjectWeekend Just a great point? ROFLOL

[@swaggarightjones6427]

My terrain doesn’t have this access spot

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Yeah not all models have the access spot. Here is a video from someone who did it by pulling back the fender liner. ua-cam.com/video/ZAVJdpd3uo8/v-deo.html

What is not telling you is that you’re supposed to wear gloves when you do that or else your bub won’t last long.

[@backtothebasics3193]

[@papasom3337]

Only thing is, don’t be touching on the bulb with your dirty, greasy, grimy hand m’boy! 😅
