HOW TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULB FAST & EASY 2010 - 2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX - LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB 

A friend of mine asked me to change her bulb for her. After looking at your video, I’m going to tell her to take it to the mechanic because I already know it will irritate the hell out of me. It’s a damn shame that you can’t go under the hood like every other car out there. Thanks for your demonstration, you did a good job. I will pass this on to others who have the patience to do it themselves.

Thank you for the step-by-step explanation.This worked perfectly on my 2014 Equinox and I have little car repair skills!

Very good video! I used it to change my bulb in my 2015 Equinox. Worked exactly as in the video . Good to find something that really works! Thanks

Best video I’ve seen for this! Really helpful thanks!

Thank you so much! Just had a neighbor help me (old and out of shape so the 2 7mm ones would have been hard) and was able to replace. A friend of mine with 2014 says his he can just reach under and pull the cap without having to pull the fender skirt, so it may depend on what model. Mine is 2015 LS awd. I had all tools ready and it didn't take long at all thanks to his video.

Thanks. I watched and saved myself a ton of time. The only hang up was one of the new bulbs had an extra gasket on it ant it took several tries before I discovered that. Once I took that off it went right in!

I watched and use this video yesterday. I it was a excellent step by step tutorial. I have this exact vehicle year, make, and model. Thank you..!!! I ironically bought the exact same bulb before I found your video as well go figure.

I just did one. And this video made it much easier.thank you 😇

thank you. This helped a lot. I didn’t have to go though hours of Grief just to get to the headlight

I will be uploading my video tonight. Finally got to it. I must say I’m impressed that you got those camera angles with the wheel on. I took my wheel of for filming purposes.

Thank you so much. It really helped my friend and I .We just replaced ours 😊

Thank you for doing this without having to remove the entire front end lol idk how many videos I got to before yours that were doing that. Changing headlights should not be this complicated! Lol 😂

Thanks for the explanation, I did the step by step and changed my own lightbulb!! Was not quick and easy, but it’s done 😎(2017 Chevy equinox)

I always forget how to change the bulb. Thanks. Especially having to work in the rain sucks. Nice to do it fast.

Exelent video man so helpful 👏 Thank you very much

This video helped a lot thank you!

The 2011 model, maybe others, has an access cap that doesn’t require removing the whole panel. The access cap only requires the removal of one screw.

This helped so much. Thank you!

Thank you kindly, this helps, I’m going to change mine now.

Wow man my lady need that replacement in her equinox and I didn't know how change them wow this video helped me for when I replace her lights for free before she goes to a mechanic. thanks 😀😀

😅thank you!! Knew where to go to get there, but wasn't sure how I was going to attempt that. 65yr.old woman with some cowboy logic(my dad used to say) and now I'm getting used to reaching out to my helpers on you tube!!! Felt like you were supposed to be just there for me!! Have a great day and be safe! T. from Iowa

Save me a lot of time. Thanks 👍

Really really really appreciate this video because I frustrated myself so much trying to figure it out by myself and this was the first video that popped up so thank you so much

Thank you very much for this. Mine, didn’t have the access hole and your method took 15 minutes.

Got it done, thanks!

Thank you so much brother!

Thank you so much I going to try to do by myself.

The clips gave me trouble but it was easy enough, thanks!

Thank you helped me out!

Dude. What to thank you so very much for the video! After watching some of the others, those guys are idiots! Taking the whole front of the car off was not necessary…. Your way of going under the wheel well was so much more easier and efficient! Thanks again for you visual help!!

Good presentation

Great video!!!!

Very helpful. My 2016 is this way

Thanks ; I just now changed my aunt's headlight bulb. Having a Snap-On electric rachet doesn't hurt. Took about 30 minutes because I had already took the air cleaner off.

Wow GM... Thanks I was gonna do both lights... But I'll wait for the other one to burn out

Nice job on the vid & instructions. I watched a different one in which the guy took the wheel off (though he said you didn't need too), then removed the wheel-well ABS to get to the socket. I said, "BS on that!"...I'm lookin for a different vid. And viola! I found yours. Thx!

Thanks for sharing

I did, thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video really appreciated.

I want to thank you for I need to replace my headlight bulbs

thanks... for yuo help

Thank you

Any advice when the dust cap is stuck? I spent half an hour trying to twist it back and forth. It moved maybe a quarter-inch and my arm is raw from rubbing against that access hatch. Thanks.

Awesome video with all the right camera views! It made it super easy.

Thank you.

Bro thanks, I was about to change it in less then 10 mins, going to subscribe

What about the access panel in the wheel well ?????

Great video fixed my light in a flash

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yessss this is the only way

Great video. Taking those bottom 2 screws off opened it up. Maybe mark with paint pen for cap orientation for quicker assembly. Turn wheel in and you can just use drivers and loosen.

Changed the bulbs on my 15 Equinox in the same fashion, getting that cap back on was the hardest part

My hero ❤

Thank u

Excellent photography! And thanks, because thanks to your video I was able to change the headlight bulb in my, VERY stupidly engineered, 2017 Chevy Equinox... You forgot to mention 2 things though. When screwing the big black cap on over the light bulb? It has the four tabs that slide in before you can tighten it, right? Well, two of the tabs are just a tad smaller (or larger) than the other two tabs. So technically it can only go in one way. That explains why you said it was "tricky," lol. The other thing is when putting the two 7mm bolts back in the bottom. The piece of fender liner that they screw into doesn't snap in first or anything. It just flops around as you try and push the bolts in, EVEN if you've put the clips and T-20 screw back in already. So you have to try and hold it down and line up the holes while you try and start screwing them in. Needless to say, that part is a bit "tricky" as well. But it's not as bad as it seems. However, if you're worried it might be, just imagine doing it with your neck frozen with your head tilted as far forward as it can be and leaning to the left as much as it can be so that you look like you're permanently holding a phone between your left shoulder and the left side of your head. So it could be worse.

Ty for this video. Had to use my crescent for the 7mm. What a pain in ass.

How do I change the high beam bulbs?

Does all the lights work like this turn signal, high beam

Would this work on a trax?

Thank you!!! I was told that I’d need to remove the bumper to change the headlight. My novice behind had it off and on in no time….without having to remove the bumper. Go figure. Thanks again!!

Glad I took a look, I thought the bumper mask had to be removed like the mid 2000's Malibu.

Is it the same for the drivers side?

Leave it to chevy To make it complicated to change a lightbulb

Great video, but I had hell putting that cap back on

F#$% it indeed! Excellent video and camera work! Saved me a lot of cussing and frustration. Good job!

my 2010 had a circular hatch in the wheel well with one t20 screw. seems like that all should of had that

Much easier way to get to your blown bulb. Just remove the cap located in fender well by removing one screw and turningit to the left, then remove the black cup under the cap turning it to the left, then you can just pull the bulb using a slight left turn. Replace bulb and replace black cup, then the twist cap right and reinstall one screw. Takes 10 minutes top.

Thanks so much for the video, although I’m highly annoyed at how difficult they have made it to do self car maintenance. The same way the back wiper blade cover is impossible to get off without breaking. But if you don’t put it back the back blade will flop all other the place.

If you look at the fender well you can see a round cut out with 1 screw. Remove that and you have access

What about the high beam? I cannot find a single video on the internet on how to replace the bulb.

Don’t forget the plastic tab under each wheel well!! I still can’t mine loose to complete the job 😫

What about to replace the blinker

Well the 2014 has an access cap by the inside tires that you unscrew then remove the cap from the light bulb replace it then add cap to keep moisture and water out then screw the nut back in…and done

I will try this this weekend. I'm really dislike these engineers who are designing this crap.

Gives u more space to work by cutting the wheel the other way

Of course my 2014 equinox don’t have one😖

Our 2014 Equinox 2LT does not have an access port. You can remove some clips and screws from the fender well to pull it back enough to gain access to change the low and high beams out. Challenging but an easier process, IMHO.

Thanks for the video. I now have a new question to ask the salesman when purchasing my next car. This is clearly what happens when you let engineers go unchecked in their designs .

What about the high beam?

You're missing the blue gasket on the cap.

When I did it the light cap wouldn't twist off

Thank you, you saved me 200 bucks, the dealership will try to rob you if you let them

2014 model takes these exact same steps!

Why does the 2014 not have the round cover. Theres other videos showing it. Chevy messed up again

My 2012 has a small removable panel just behind the headlight in the wheel well so I didn't have to take the entire wheel well guard out. Looking back on your vehicle I do not see that same opening. But it looks like a newer vehicles that have fixed this... Refer to this video for the cover. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NskFs3lBWCs.html

The hardest part is putting dat damn cap back on

All of tht for a bulb

Just why, GM?

Pretty soon you will need to remove the engine to change the bulb

Turn your wheel the other way

Not for 2011 chevy equinox

Mann this the most inconvenience bullshit way to change a headlight smh im not going thru all that ima just pay somebody to do it smh

Just use the little access door in the same wheel well liner instead of taking out liner.

lmao it took you longer to put it back together!

closest goodyear is having me pay 75 dollars for this. like what the actual fuck

Why oh why would Chevy make you go through this simply to change a headlamp!!? So Dumb!!!

Instead of installing leds you put halogens back

WTF, Chevrolet?!

These are automakers make it so difficult to replace a stupid freaking headlight bulb. I had a Subaru that was the exact same thing you had to take the fender well out, and he had to reach up, and so damn far, my arms were yoo short yo reach.

I should've watched this video BEFORE I started working on it! Because, why would you be able to remove the 3 screws and remove the lamp to access the light bulb? That would just be stupid. Of course you should have to remove the fender skirt and crawl up under the wheel well to reach all up in a weird position to access a simple light bulb, WTF Chevy? But seriously, thanks for the video, it was very helpful. But F U Chevy for making it that way!
