Very informative!
So do need to purchase just two of the square bulbs?
Is there a fuse for the headlights for the 2014 acadia?
I bet he was really thanking whoever put the tire shine on
4:48 Post Wheel Well Removal
Just take the tire off. Its waaaaay easier that way
GOOD VIDEO , CAN I GET THE LINK TO ORDER THAT BULB FOR MY 2014 ACADIA
I have to say a big thank you for this video. The lightbulb is expensive enough and to have it installed is ridiculous. After watching this my son and myself changed out my bulb and we used a T 20 wrench to take the covering off above the wheel. And, not all GMC Acadia’s have the HID headlight. Make sure you know which bulb to replace. Mine is an HID.
I thank you thank you. The dealer wanted $312 for the bulb alone. With labor $505. Purchased correct bulbs from Amazon for $30. Took maybe an hour to install. Very informative video..
Should I remove the light bulb an drive vehicle to get new bulb cause they say there's a few different styles that will work? It sounds dangerous it's wet here
If your taking that liner out, DYI'er, after disconnecting the battery, jack the side up and remove the wheel next.
So in summary. Just have the dealership do it when I am getting the car serviced.
Thank you for the video, without it, I would have been flummoxed. The 2011 Acadia I worked on, was slightly different in that I had to turn the bulb to get it out (and of course back in). Thanks again!
Who the hell makes it this difficult to change a light bulb?! This is crazy. Thanks for the video though.
Hi, I appreciated your teaching. Can someone please help me here to find right rear door molding Chrome for my 2015 Acadia Denali.? Thanks !
My problem is slightly different – I have condensation inside the plastic headlight assembly. The light has always been aimed low (I bought the car used from CarMax) so I expected to find the bulb not installed correctly , especially since the condensation showed up in the past few weeks. I thought I could just open the hood and remove and re-install the bulb (like in the old days) or easily remove and re-install the whole assembly (like my GMC pickup at work). I had half the front end of the car apart and was well into my second beer before I looked at this video. Great video, thanks, but if the morons who design cars now had to work on them, they would be designed differently. I was never able to fix the condensation problem (yet) and after this mess and other stupid design flaws in this car, I'll never buy another GMC. But, thanks for the video!
Very informative- Thanks
Dear Lord… I know, my headlight is out. It's time for a trade-in. This is what they are thinking when they designed this, right?
Keep in mind that not all Acadias have HID bulbs. Mine has the halogen bulbs so the procedure is different.
My headlight is strobing is it the bulb or the ballast
A video on how to change the wheel speed sensor would be awesome right now. There is nothing on Youtube for Acadia's. I can't figure out how to get to the part that plugs in behind the wheel well for the life of me.
Working on my 2010 Buick Enclave CXL as we speak. Great video. Just wanted to add that the bulb doesn’t just pull out. There is a plastic piece that has to be turned left (counter-clockwise) before it can pulled out. Reach in and feel for it. Go left.
my gosh.. before all we had to do was open the hood and reach back and remove the bulb.
is there any danger of it holding a charge even if i remove the battery ? i am scared of electricity lol and I have a 2013 is it going to be similar or the same as this ?
So, I don't have the spring clips holding the bulb. How do I remove the bulb as it is very secure?
is it necessary to disconnect the battery? I dont see any type of work being done with hot wires or anything that would seem to actually require that but I was just curious. Also, I thought there may be a capacitor that would still hold the charge even if you disconnected the battery? I am getting ready to do this job and I appreciate this video. I was also just wondering if you disconnect the battery what all will that reset on the denali? Clocks, oil change service tracking etc?
Great video!
