Ooooh saw it. So I have a chevy sonic with a clip style headlight.

Damn, I just bought an H11 LED that I cannot use. Hahahaha!

Ellen TerWisscha says:

Thanks! 2005 Kia Amanti has the same housing. So simple, great camera angle!

moto toad says:

So the high beam bulb is same bulb as low? Thank you

Ed M says:

On my 2005 Amanti, the round covers are the turn signals…….the main headlights are under a larger, black anvil shaped cover.

Phil Cahal says:

Super helpful bro,thanks

Keith Montoya says:

For the driver's side headlight…you have to remove the battery? Afraid to look, but think ya do…and that's the one I have to replace.

Heather Fell says:

Thank you so much!!! You really helped this girl out !

C BRIGGSMKX says:

That is the high beam light. How do you change the low beam

Jeff Browne says:

it appears that the driver's side is a bit different (& more difficult). I sure wish someone showed how to change that low-beam bulb.

Michel Larouche says:

Super bien filmé

socio sanch says:

The plug and the mechanism that holds in the bulb, man those things were a pain for me.

Bobby Olo says:

Your a life saver man I have a 2001 Kia optima and was wondering how to change it

Ela Nunes says:

The clip.. working on a 2002 Kia Rio C… I took the three bolts off the front and pulled the whole unit out to work on and that was easier that going in the back, but o-boy, I took the screw on the left back a tad and bong .. the clip went flying and spent an hour till the sun disappeared and could not figure out how it went back… your video showed me exactly what I needed to see. Of course I could have pulled the other side and looked but that would be in the dark and it was starting to rain.. I am putting in LEDs . Almost every car has one around here and ours look like light from a candle.. can't see nothing and getting blinded by all the new cars. Thank you for your video

Everseeker says:

Quick note… If you look carefully at the clip before you take it off… Not the bent/clip side, but the other end…
It WAS laying across a tab on the bulb assembly(Correct)
However, when you replaced it, the wire is up on the connector almost touching one of the connections (Very NOT good)
If that light is jostled the wrong way (Pothole at night) You could short to ground thru that wire(Unless the entire housing, including the screw fastener, is isolated…)
You would, at best, see a cool flash of light under the hood just before the light (and the car) turns off
At worst…. Bring Marshmallows… The car is gonna be all sparkly-Flaming-FIRE! for a long time

KatiV says:

I wish you mentioned not touching the bulb in the beginning and not until putting the bulb in

Jim G says:

It was easy once ya know how. But your instructions made it easy. Nice tip for the double replacement.

Heather Schadow says:

Ur videos help me so much thank you

Lorenz Connor says:

where would you find that "tab" (metal part that was holding the lightbulb) if it broke off and had to replace it? Any suggestion where to find it in store cause I looked everywhere.

Melissa Q says:

Thanks for the angles. I live away from family and dont really have anyone who could show me how to do this in person so it really helped
