2019 Chevy Traverse Headlight Bulb Replacement 

This was very helpful. The dealer told me $400 labor to replace the bulbs this morning. They said they would have to remove the bumper. This video saved me a lot of money! Thanks!!

A relative of mine was quoted $770 to have both headlight bulbs replaced on their 2019 Traverse. The dealer booked the job for 2 hours and claimed the bumper 'had' to be removed to replace the bulbs. I was highly skeptical. After watching a video, I felt very confident I could do it with little effort. Although not mentioned in the video, the screws have a T15 head. I went to Lowe's to get a set of Torx Allen keys but found something even better: a Kobalt brand mini ratchet set that had Torx bits (Model #85232). Thanks to that handy tool, I was able to complete the job in under 20 minutes. I didn't even have to remove the battery bracket bar as it wasn't really in the way. I also used a quality pair of Philips bulbs that will hopefully last longer than the OEM bulbs. The car only has 66k miles, one bulb was completely dead while the other was on its way out. I have never seen an HID bulb fail like that, so the car's housings must be very poorly designed and cause the bulbs to run too hot or something. Either way, you can save yourself over $600 and complete this job in under half an hour.

This was a huge help!!! I thought I was going to have to remove the bumper and half the front of the car until I watched this video. Thanks!!

Thanks man. Literally the first time I’ve done ANYTHING mechanical. Mechanics were telling me $600-700 and they had to take off the bumper. My wife found this video and threatened to do it herself. Not on my watch. You just saved me a lot of money but more importantly my dignity! 🍻

You are a gent for taking the time for this video. I was quoted between $400 to $800. Appreciate you mentioning the allen wrench (I believe it's the size of 3/32) and the replacement bulb used. I ended up buying the same one and also got a flexible extension drill bit for good measure. Great video and 👍all the way

Best video for changing out the 2019 Chevy Traverse model headlight bulbs. Every other video seems to be for 2009-17 models which are totally different. Thanks!

Aye bro I just want to say thank you my wife went to the dealership and they told her each light 340 and another 160 to install both of them. You just saved me from paying 800 at the dealership. I went to advance auto parts picked them up for 150 each and installed in no time. You the goat man.

Always give the bulb a quick test before you reinstall everything. Just in case 😊

The dealer wanted $761.02 to replace the bulb but would discount it at $685.02 LOL. I purchased the bulb for less than $100 and replaced it my self in less than 20 mins thanks to your video. Much appreciate it.

Hey brother, I just wanted to say thank you for this long sought-after video. You helped me a lot. Those screws lol, are a son of a gun to get out. It's really the angles that are horrible. I followed your steps and was able to save money, plus I completed the job. Thank you. God bless. Ps, I'm subscribing to your channel.

Just replaced it following your instructions. It cost me in total $125. Saved over $400 and completed in less than 45 minutes.

The dealer just told my wife it would cost her over $1200 to replace her two light bulbs. (Yes I said over $1200) Bought the oem bulbs on amazon and did it myself in 1 hour for $123 per oem light bulb.

Great video. Thanks. I had no clue on what to do.😅

Thank you so much for your video. Yesterday I could change the headlight bulb successfully after watching this 👏🏼

Hey Everyone if you want to get the bulb with the white housing out from inside the actual lens you will need to push it up at the 12 o'clock direction a little bit and then once you fill it has loosened then you can twist to the left.

Love the video I have a 2018 traverse worked the same video helped out white clip to unscrew was my only issue had to watch couple more times but definitely saved me money thanks for posting

Thanks for video, I appreciate you about to set up my truck like yours. Very helpful

Thanks for the video, I’m not handy at all, didn’t want to pay a bunch for bulbs and labor, took me an hour to do the passenger side but took not even 20 min on the drivers, those 4 screws on both sides suck with not that much room so thanks for mentioning the Allen wrench.

Me and my wife got quoted 500 for bulb and labor but overall the general cost for the bulb is around 130. Still it's outrageous with these mechanics shops. Thank you for this video Sir. 🙏🏿

I really appreciate this video love the content thank you for you sharing your knowledge.

Thank you brother you're a blessing in disguise accurate video made it easy God bless you have a cool day man.✌🏼👍🏼

Very informative

huge eehlp on this bro! thanks

Thanks for the video

Nice video Homeboy

Preciate it. In the process tho I lost one Allen wrench and one screw but that’s on me. Wrong gloves and I didn’t have any other ones at the moment. But overall great video. Thanks.

I did this yesterday, and could not get the housing that holds the bulb inside to turn. To get the old bulb out .any suggestions? TIA

My husband changed one side. Taking the bulb out of the house was a day ordeal. Finally was able to remove and replaced with a 6000 light bulb (same brand in your video). However, when placing the case back and testing. It flickers and makes little electric sounds (like an electricity short circuit). Any idea what could be wrong?

Have a traverse at work and took it to a shop to replace the bulb as a side errand. I thought it was a scam when they said it needed to go on the lift!!😂 No wonder the U.S. car industry is a shell of itself. Who the heck would buy this POS that required this much effort to replace a bulb!!

What type light buld it had first and what you change them to for?

I have a 2018 Chevy traverse premier, is it the same process being that they got the same body? I can't find much of anything on the 2018 which is why I'm asking

Thank you 🙏🏼

916nando what size and type of screwdriver do I need for this job?those aren't normal screws

I can't get the base to come loose. Any tips would be appreciated!

I went to the dealership and they said that they were going to charge me $300 because they had to remove my bumper thank you guys so much I did it myself

@916nando Hey bro what are the exact kind of HID bulbs you bought from racesport lighting for your Traverse? Part #? Model name?

Do your LED fog lights flicker with the auto stop? I have a current set up that does.

Does a battery need to be unplugged for doing this? Changed the older version before but want to check since these are the HID. Thanks!

Is there a trick to getting the light bulb loose? I'm wiggling it, but no luck. Any help will be good!

What size are the screws on the ballast?

I wonder if you can go from hid to led instead

Does the battery need disconnected?

Where are you located Ineed my headlight replaced. The dealership said 656.00 for one bulb. I have a 2018 Traverse.

Dude you glossed over the one bolt everybody is here for

What kind of screws was it

What size Allen?

Do those new lights last longer than the original?

Bro ....what did.you use to remove the screws

How much is the light ?

My driver side low beam lights went out and Dealership told me that i had to replace the whole headlight assembly for $1300 . I have a 2018 traverse premier redline.

Camera person 🤦🏾‍♀️
