This is terrific, thanks so much! Went to the dealer this morning and was informed I have a low beam out. They quoted me about $285 to change just the one bulb with OEM parts, or $175 with an aftermarket bulb of unknown brand. I'm instead going to do the pair myself. My Haynes Manual just says "don't do HID bulbs yourself because high voltage" and only illustrates the simple halogen bayonet-mount bulbs. It's so helpful to get a visual on what's involved.

It's early 2024, and on my 2012 Subaru Forester at 93k miles, this is the fifth bulb that has needed changing in three months. Looks like I'm learning pretty precisely how long automotive bulbs tend to last...

Isn't step 1 to check the alignment of your lights to see where they shile on a wall? Since you had to take out the entire assembly how does it get adjusted?

Is it always necessary to disassemble the whole front when replacing it? I need to change one for my Kia Sportage

[excampopa]

my Volvo owners manual says to let a "trained qualified tech" replace the D3S bulb due to the high voltage. Should I just disconnect the battery before replacing?

Both of mine went out at the same time, do you think it’s possibly the bulbs ? My fuse & relays are good

How to remove the ballast? Mine seems to be melded in there

What if the green connector is bad. Is that cable easy to replace?

This 😂 guy is funny. But true to everything he said on this video. I changed myself. The dealership was going to charge me $3000 parts and labor. I bought blubs on Amazon paid only $40.

Getting ready to change out my drivers side headlight assembly. The lense itself is broke from a rock 🙄, the bulb worked for another day until it rained and then it went out. So Im not sure if its the ballast or bulb. Either way, thank you so much for clearing this up. Quick question, with my new headlight assembly I order, will the ballast be included with it generally speaking?

Have you ever come across HIDs that both shut off after about a minute or two of being on? Thanks!
