Thank You!! Great vid. My right headlight just died. With this tutorial I am going to change it myself instead of paying lots of money to the dealership.
Thank you, thank you the dealer wanted to charge me $450 to change his bulb. I search multiple videos and yours was the only one who told me about the tabs to move up and down on either side. I am a woman of 61 years old and I did it.
Thanks this really helped, Yes the tab it turns about 1/4 turn up or down depending on side you feel it. You have to play with it a little as it might be a little tight. This tab is attached to the main light housing so it is just in front of the square housing on the bulb. It can be a little tricky getting the bulb back into the fixture. just have to line it up and play with it a little. Then it will seat and lock the tab once again. Saved alot of money for a little over an hour work.
Spend most time installing aircleaner , there are these steel ribbons the case of the bulb goes in first , you have to position it perfectly to allow to insert and twist bulb . You should explain how to get the bulb line up perfectly .
Yup, did this myself with the help of this tutorial. Like others have said, those clips are a pain. In the end, apparently the HID D3S bulbs wasn't the culprit. I realized that the high beam "blue icon" on the dash didn't even come on so now I'm lost again. I checked all the fuses etc. but all seem ok. Anyone else out there had this issue with the high beam indicator not even coming on on the dash? Just happened absolutely sporadically and some items suggest the multi switch has gone bad but I don't even know where to start.
It's so quick and easy, you weren't even able to do it on camera. Smh. It's not that quick nor easy. So how do you get the band back on, with the tabs.... ?
The description of the "tabs" that must be semi-rotated to release the bulb assembly is huge! Saved me from buying another set of bulbs thinking one was bad after the passenger side didn't originally reseat correctly. Thanks about a $100 or so! FYI: This applies to any of the Grand Cherokees of the WK2 ilk with OEM HID.
Thanks for the video. Helped me with my HID bulb replacement. On my 2014 Summit with Ecodiesel I had to remove two 10mm fasteners that hold the coolant reservoir in place. This allowed me to access the passenger side bulb. Still very tight, but enough room to get it done. I did not have to remove my ECU. My air filter housing was the same as yours. Thanks again.
The locking collars undo counterclockwise and do up clockwise - seems obvious I know, but in a car thats several years old the rotten things can be very stiff - and the headlight units are mirror image of each other so I ended up thinking maybe they lock/unlock accordingly - ie. one goes one way and the other goes the other way - but no, they both operate conventional way.
Great video. Helped a bunch but now my front turn signal doesn't work. Any ideas/suggestions how to replace that? Or does the entire lamp need to be replaced?
Thank you for producing this video it was totally different doing one of these bulbs compared to other ones pull out and replace total time about one hour
NO NEED TO Disassemble Components , THERE IS ACCESS HOLE AT THE FRONT OF WHEEL WELL, YOU CAN REPLACE HID BULBS THRU THEM. Search RU-vid for right video, there are some.
That access hole is very small and difficult to maneuver in. I can’t see how I can get an HID in there (passenger side). My 2018 Trailhawk has a lot of cables bulging out when I open that access.
This is a terrible video😂 you show absolutely zero disassembly or even install to the passenger side. Here’s a video that shows you the tabs to remove the bulb: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4FsGWjznneU.html
One of my bulbs went out. I read recommendations that you should change both so I did. Now, both bulbs are on, but my headlights are really dim and "dispersed" is the best word I can use to describe. And they're not any better when I turn on my brights, maybe even worse. It appears that the deflector that focuses the light and switches from dims to brights isn't work. My headlights don't do the autoleveling when you first start up the jeep. HELP!! Does anyone know if/how to reset the deflector? I have AlfaOBD if there is a way to troubleshoot and/or reset. Thanks, Craig
For others that had trouble finding the “tabs” locking mechanism, they’re attached to the car, not ON the bulb- felt that was a little unclear from this explanation. They’re about 1/2-1 inch each in diameter, so pretty noticeable if you feel around. You can see them a bit in this video- spent about an hour trying to feel for them until I saw this - then got it out easy. Good luck! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GoD8RA1tme4.html
I purchases a set of underground lighting Ds3s which seem to be some of the best ones but they came out of the install very Dim! Extremely dim! The high beams really aren’t that much better! I have a 2014 summit. The pair of headlights I purchased before were dim as well! Any ideas on what could be causing this? I’d hate to have the dealer install and pay 1200🥲. Please help
Guys can you explain the tabs better. I was able to change the driver side with no issues. Its super easy to install it but for the life of me I cant get the passangers side bulb to rotate / engage. I am doing the same thing as with the driver seat
HEY. had to do this same thing. Nowy blinker went out on it. Please tell me you have a vid for front driver side blinker lol thanks. Without having to take the front clip and bumper off thanks
