Great video 👍 🚨⚠️Attention to anyone who is planning on doing this🚨⚠️ Since the replacement bulb will be twice the size of the stock halogen bulb you will need to use electrical tape in order to keep it in place. I made the mistake of using what I thought was a lot of super glue and the bulb popped out of the connector and is now rolling around inside the bulb housing. Since it is at an angle there is no way to take it out without removing the entire front bumper and then disassembling the housing to retrieve the bulb. Please learn from my mistake.
The fast-blinking is a message, not an error. All modern vehicles, like even back into the 80's or earlier, are designed to "fast-blink" when you have a lamp out. The car is telling you something's wrong. (FWIW, a "bulb" is the glass that encases a light source. A "lamp" is the source of light. It's the lamp that fails, or "burns out".)
Thank you for making a video. Opening that front at passenger side is quite tricky, if you don't know the snap fit. It is easy to break those plastic snap in if push with flat screw driver. Need to handle with no too much force.
Thank you SO MUCH for clearly showing how to do this, particularly the passenger side. I was ready to sell the Volt and get a car that already had LED turn signals lol. BTW I used a long strip of electrical tape and wrapped it around the bulb/socket to keep it from popping out. At least it feels secure and it will hopefully last.
I actually sold my Volt about 2 years ago, had another kid (surprise kid hah) so needed more seats. But I never had any issues whatsoever with the tape or those bulbs.
Thanks for the video. I'm struggling to understand how these work. Before you made this modification were these lights on constantly as drls? In my region my Volt's drls are in the main headlamps instead. These lower lights only ever flash for turn signals.
what about installing a flasher made for LEDs ..... LED FLASHER ? i moved over to all leds on my RV and the load was so low i had in to install a flasher made for low loads like this
Looks bright & Awesome, I hope you don't get ticket or pulled over for hyper flash.Proper installation is indispensable. i am going to do the same thing to my Volt, Thanks for the video, Keep uploading your Volt Project Videos, we al can Use it as great resource for learning and installing purpose. Thank you so much.
I just watched the video and then switched my 2012’s. The OEM lights were a huge pain to get out. I had to pull on them with a lot of force. I had one that popped out after getting it all put back together. I used some silicone on the sides of the bottom of the bulb and pushed it in better. But it took me two hours. It should have been a half hour job if I didn’t have to search for tools and didn’t have issues removing the old bulbs. The lights are a huge improvement when driving at night since these illuminate the sides and close up by the front a lot better. Well worth the money and I should never have to deal with them again. :)
When you did the rt side, you just took out the 4 bolts and the bumper slides out or you have to pull or disengage from where it meets the fender? I want to make sure I do not break the bumper clips shown at the 7:59 mark. thx

@@JustVlads you mean that the dip match the white that good? I was going to send it to paint but now you said that im going to do it with dip too thx a lot. Did you use a special white or there is only one color in the dip and it match ?
You can change the relay to a solid state unit that blinks normally. This happens because the LED's have lower resistance, than the incandescent bulbs.
I never did cause i dint want to cut into the wiring, but if you do, you would put one side of the resistor on the positive wire and the other on negative of the blinker bulb.
