Can literally take out my 06 duramax headlights in 10 seconds. They went from having the most accessible headlights to the most inaccessible.

I’ve watched lots of how to videos on YouTube, and there is absolutely no one that comes close in quality or detail to the videos that A1 Auto produces ! TYVM A1 Auto !

[duggla]

Thanks for giving such easy detail and step by step instructions for those of us who are "YouTube Mechanics" it literally took me about 40 minutes to complete the job of replacing both sides.

Very informative video covering grill and headlight housing removal and installation. The headlight aiming video at the end was an important bonus!

Thank you chevy for making it so difficult to just replace a simple lightbulb

[StevenCastaneda]

Hey just wanted to say thanks for making this video! My dad and I had this on while we replaced the headlights on my truck and everything went pretty well. Thanks!

[binridin]

I’ve been buying from A1 for a couple years. The parts are always good quality and the shipping is fast. The videos are awesome! Always plenty of detail that saves me a lot of time. Thank You A1!

[elcocaino]

Thanks. These videos have helped me learn how to work on my truck without paying anyone 🙏🏽🤠

Thanks for the video! I found getting the headlight assembly out was quite a task. Could not push it down far enough. Took a 4 inch putty knife and put it in the top and it worked like a shoe horn...pop right out in seconds.

Pro tip. There is a bracket to the inside of each headlight. If you take that bracket out, the headlight will rotate right out without it fighting you like it did him.

wow thank Chevy for making it almost 300percent harder then my old Silverado

[josetrillo]

Thanks for the video. It's helped me out a lot and save me tons of time.

Thank you for the awesome removal and re-install video! Quick Question, if you're installing new headlight assemblies on an '07 Silverado with a daytime running light LED strip between the high and low beams, what do you wire the LED strip to? Thank you.

I have replaced all 4 bulbs without taking anything apart but moving the air filter housing out of the way. However, I have new headlight housing to swamp out due to damage, so this is nice. It should be like 3 bolts and slide out, so stupid. I appreciate the prep.

[WatchDaddyGuy]

You would probably want to test the headlight out after connecting the new lights
, before putting it all be together. Great video though. I’ll use it for my headlight change, thanks.

FYI on the upper bolts you can use a long extension and the ratchet turns into a spinner. I have a set of Mac Tools and use the longer more than the short.

I have a 2011 gmc sierra 1500 and the head light housings have small tabs on top that I don't see in this video. I was messing with a few and they broke off. Is that the only difference? Does everything else come off the same as in the video?

I also took the top two bolts out of the bracket next to the headlight and loosened the bottom bolt to let that bracket pivot to the side and this gave me extra room to get the headlight in and out.
