I struggled with my 1991 suzuki vitara, I saw my friend struggle with mazda 3, my gf and her sister struggled 2 hours with their newish bmw. I saw people drive their cars to the mechanics to get their lighbulbs replaced. Now I had to do this with my c30. Literally the easiest thing I've ever done on a car. It is a 5 minute job and is so amazingly simple. I still had to watch this tutorail, but I'm amazed how well this headlight is designed.
I just had to change a bulb on my mothers 2010 V50 and when I first looked in the cramped modern engine bay I thought "oh hear we go". But then I watched this video and had it done in a couple of minutes, it really is a superb design. I'm still a little baffled as to how the single pin holds the headlight in place. And also baffled as to why the design is so poor on my E90 BMW 3 series, it has bulb replacement flaps in the wheel arch which are awkward as hell and if the flaps go missing then road water sprays directly in to the headlamp unit. I guess Volvo didn't care too much about money from main dealer bulb changes. The 1.6 16 valve Peugeot Diesel engine that is fitted to my mums V50 however is not the best design and needs special emission reduction fluid topping up every 60,000 miles, and its located in a secret tank underneath the car, very economical though. Later models have a normal Diesel particulate filter and an improved 8 valve version of the Peugeot 1.6 Diesel.
I looked behind the lantern and didn't believe my eyes for everything that stood in the way of letting go. I'd never figure it out without your tip. Thanks a lot👍😂
Thank you bro did both mine and my wiper blades in like 30 minutes. This is the easiest headlight replacement i have ever done my mazda was a nightmare lol
I watched this video 2 times..just to be sure that I didn't miss anything. I walked outside and changed my low-beam in less than 5 mins after watching this video. This video was very clear on the steps and made changing the low beam very very easy. I would like to add that I am VERY much a girly girl, and I don't know ANYTHING about changing car stuff (I just recently found the button thing that opens the hood)...I am great at pumping gas, but that's abt the extent of my knowledge when it comes to doing car stuff. Thanks for the tutorial, I do feel very accomplished. My car is a 2010 Volvo S40.
Nate, you are incredible! I have watched several times your demonstration of replacing the timing belt and the water pump, the comprehensive procedure, just to know in details what the mechanic is doing to my Volvo S40 2006... When are you going to Western Colorado??? I need you here! Better skiing than on the East Coast, a paradise for cycling as well!!! If I will need some surgical procedure, I would like my surgeon to work as delicate as you do! I am a retired physician, avid cyclist skier (both alpine and nordic) and my excellent Volvo S40 brings me everywhere here in this region, at the gates of the Wild, Wild West! Happy New Year!
Good Job Nate. Way to break the ice. Looking forward to more quick vids of you guys tinkering when I am not in the garage. For some reason this reminds me... Always have a' spare! I have changed certain things out 'early' one time on each our cars in an effort to have emergency spares. 1 Headlight Bulb, 1 Tail Light / Brake Light Bulb and a Serpentine Belt ride around in EVERY car and the truck... You just never know when. Late Sunday Night coming home from In Laws WAY out of town comes to mind... If either one of those Bulbs was still good, toss it in Trunk or Glove box right now.
In my previous message, Nate, I wanted to say "When are you coming (moving!) in Western Colorado?"... There is more blue sky and we have less raining days here... Grand Junction, Colorado...
Great video very helpful, I just replaced the low beams H11 with AUXITO led 4500LM Bulb 6000 color temp night and day difference between old and new. Replacing the fog lamps with Same.
I took my car to Walmart auto center just to change the low beam and they said they can’t do it on my car because they don’t have the tools required for this type of service on my car, even though it seems very easy in this video 🙄 I guess I will just do it myself. Thanks for sharing.
What size light is required for the high beam I have 2010 Volvo S40 R-Design? Can you do a video showing replacement of fog lights, interior exterior lights? Thanks
Thanks Singh, this is what happens when we have a Motorsport Director handle the camera , the angles, the job, etc. lol It's a start though theyll get better as the next few come out!
