2015-2021 GMC Canyon Headlight Replacement/ LED upgrade

I am upgrading the low-beam headlights on my 2016 GMC canyon to LED bulbs. The halogen bulb on the drivers side is out and instead of replacing one I am upgrading both. These headlight assemblies are standard for 2015-2021. Easy straightforward job. Interestingly I did not get a headlight out light on the dash at any time, I would have expected that.

Spare fender clips link removed, I had the wrong diameter, sorry!

Just throwing this in here... You can access the passenger side low beam by going through the cloth liner In the wheel well... 4 screws and slide it out the way. Takes less than a minute.

What a pain to get to the passenger side bulbs, great video TY.

Engineers at GMC: Hey let's put as much crap in the way as we possibly can for something that is going to need routine maintenance... Nice job on the video!

Great video! Made an unnecessarily complex task (thanks to GM design) much more easy. One thing... the fender clips you link to on Amazon... they are the wrong diameter. The linked clips are too big a diameter to fit in the existing holes. The clip removal tool however made it such that no damage was done when removing the old ones... so I was just able to re-use those.

Thanks for your video on YouTube. I changed my low and high beam bulbs on my 2022 Canyon Elevation. The only thing is while the switch is on auto, the low beams use to come on whenever the truck was running making them running lights. Now with the LED'S, they only come on in the on position. Is that something you noticed with your install? Please let me know if there something I can do to correct this. 

Thanks

I wonder why there’s all that nonsense to take apart on the right side. It doesn’t seem like it needs to be there. They could have made it just as easy as on the left.
Oh well.
Why ask why?
Thanks for the video. I just wanted to make sure I actually had to take all of that apart.
Kinda “funny” that the owners manual tells you how to change the left bulbs, but says “sorry, go see the dealer you mechanically inept individual” on the right.
Thanks GMC.

So if I use the bulbs you displayed, I need no resistors or special attachments?
