This is the best do it yourself video I've ever seen. Down to the screw and connectors, the tabs and how to fix common issues was covered. I give it 5 🌟

@jdk5281 Год назад

Great video. I used this to replace my stock 2009 Dodge Ram headlights with the Amerilite Quad projector headlights off Amazon. The instructions worked perfectly and there was only a slight difference in the electrical connection due to the differing headlights. Very well made video Paul.

@unacceptablems7928 Месяц назад

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I watched several videos and NO ONE talked about the tab. L brackets (which I don't have) another guy said just stick a screw driver in a pry it out 😬. But your video explained it in exact detail. Many thanks.

@derekheuring2984 Год назад

Thanks Paul! My 2012 Dodge Laramie failed the State inspection because of water in the headlamp housing. They were badly sun-crazed anyway so I decided to replace them with new aftermarket headlamp housings and covers. After watching your video I realized how easy it was and just finished installing them.

@ronn68 7 месяцев назад

Seriously? Did the headlight work?

@NellieHealth Год назад

You cover all the little details that are necessary, but others don't show. For me, that included the location of the coarse threaded connectors and how to fiddle with the little lock on the electrical connector. Thanks so much.

@jackcascio5548 8 месяцев назад

Paul, Can't thank you enough for this video. What saved my butt was the one comment you mentioned regarding the 'clip' that locks/unlocks the lamp fixture. Before watching your video I was frustrated beyond measure trying blindly' to locate that ;'guillotine' clip. Your mention that the simple way to locate it is to bring your hand over to the interior of the sheet metal fender, slide your hand an inch toward the interior and voila! there it is. So freaking simple-saved soooo much time and frustration. Thanks my friend!!

@paulstoolbox Месяц назад

Wow Jaime, you remind me of myself. I bought my first car when I was 15 with my brother and we had to tow it home. It locked up on someone and they sold it for $100. It was a 1972 Dodge Challenger that needed fenders, a Door and to get running lol. My brother and I took the spark plugs out and put oil on the pistons. When I got out of school the next day we used a breaker bar to turn the crank. It moved so we spun the motor with the starter until the oil came out of the spark plug holes. We put the warranty spark plugs on and started it up. We bought all the body parts from a junkyard and I had a friend that painted in his garage. He did an awesome job and I wish I had that car now.! Not enough people take the time to learn, I glad to see you have the drive!

I honestly thought it was absolutely ridiculous to have to remove plastic shroud and grille to change my headlight bulbs. I tried doing this with out removing either. While it is possible, it’s totally worth taking a minute to remove them first, it actually was so much easier. Thank you for the video.

@mueckenhoeffer 4 года назад

Another great video. Just a side note on working with all the Tupperware on today's vehicles. I prefer to do it on a warm day rather than a cold one to reduce the chance of snapping any of the plastic stuff. You popped the first pin at like 0:1:27, at 0:8:22, you pulled the cable mount off the driver headlamp assembly, making it free of the vehicle, so I'm calling it 0:6:55. If you hadn't commented, sure, it would be 3 minutes and change.

@paulstoolbox 3 года назад

Thanks Curmudgeon, I know what you mean. Plastic gets pretty brittle in cold weather but I live near swamps, HOT and sticky down here. Have a great day!

@mueckenhoeffer 3 года назад

@@paulstoolbox c'mon now Paul. I grew up in Pensacola, and it gets freezing cold down there, sometimes even in the low 50s. We love a good swamp. My son and I paddled a canoe 60 miles through your Atchafalaya swamp a couple of years ago. Talk about beautiful!

@MattWoods360 4 года назад

2 min. 58.5 seconds Great how to video! Technically dielectric grease does not conduct electricity, so it shouldn’t be applied directly to the mating surfaces (pins and sockets) of an electrical connection. It meant more for the surrounding connector to prevent moisture from entering the connector.

@mrcrusadertv9647 3 года назад

Hey Paul! What do you suggest to use as a sealant to stop any moisture from getting in and how would you use it?

@seeharvester 9 месяцев назад

You'd think that they would build them to be water tight, wouldn't you? But my OEM lights leaked and filled up with water. Well, not full, but a lot of water. I dried them and sealed them around the edge with silicone caulk. It probably wouldn't hurt to caulk the new ones to prevent them from leaking in the future. I'm replacing my original faded lights now and that's what I plan on doing.

@paulstoolbox 3 года назад

Hi Duane, if you take your headlight out and blow dry it, I sometimes take a sock with rice and put it in the hole of the lens and let it sit for a while, a day or so. Take clear silicone and run it along the entire seem of the backside. That usually does it. I have never had that problem with Spyder lights that’s why I went to them after I had to fix other ones. I will see that Spyder does not give you very good instructions at all but as far as the quality of the lights I am very happy. I have a follow up video on how to easily fix lights when your lights burn out often. I see this a lot of times when people replace the headlights or the bulbs. If you have any questions please send them to Paul’s toolbox.com, I will do my best to answer. Thanks!

@paulstoolbox 3 месяца назад

Your local AutoZone or auto parts store should be able to order a pigtail for your truck to replace it. You can also Google front or rear blinker pigtail for your 2014 Laramie. I have purchased them in the past for other vehicles, so I think you should be able to find one fairly easily. I hope this helps and good luck.!

Hands down, easiest headlight replacement EVER, is on the 99-06 Chevy and GMC full-sized trucks and SUV's. No tools even needed! Pop two retaining pins out and the light come right off!!👌 I can literally swap bulbs (or the entire headlight for that matter) in less than 30 seconds per side, and I'm not exaggerating by ANY means!! 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

@paulstoolbox 4 года назад

Yeah my older GMC was a breeze, I think it is stupid to make you remove the entire headlight in order to change a bulb but it is pretty simple if you know exactly where everything is.This is why I decided to post the video. I will post the challenge in a few days. Remember to post a time, it only takes a minute , you need to put in 5 digets because we will choose the closest time. Thanks Scott!
