  • I old enough to remember when all I had to do was pop the hood and reach behind the headlights and twist and replace the bulb. Glad I watched this before attempting to do it.
  • DUDE!!!! YOU DA MANNN!! Following your method I changed my 2017 Ram headlight in 15 minutes. Youtube is great - - smart youtubers (like yourself) are AWESOME!!!
  • @nickpurdin6864
    Man ! No 5 min of showing what tools to get and where they're made. No 4 min of not being able to unbolt a fastener. No 3 min of who the mechanic is and where he's working No 2 min of telling about the weather and where the mechanic is Just 1 min, actually less, of meat. This should be a model of how to do a how-to-do-it video. WELL DONE.

    Man I thought I was going to have to take the damn engine out to get to these things! Thanks for the video!😂
  • @gimmea5
    The engineer that designed the Ram Headlight assembly obviously does not drive a Ram. There had to have been a better design! The 1A Auto video is very helpful!
  • ATTENTION: the bottom bolt only needs to be turned for about 30 seconds to a minute, and it will freely spin without being able to remove (even with a magnet). REMOVE THE TOP BOLT AND PUSH THE HEADLIGHT FORWARD FROM THE REAR TRAP DOOR ACCESS. Then you can pull the whole headlight out and lift up until the bolt pops out. The whole process should only take 5 minutes. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME SPINNING THAT DAMN BOLT! IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD!

    You guys never fail to deliver. Every time I search for a way to fix my truck, you guys have a video on it.
  • @adkjmic
    Super helpful, I was able to successfully switch the bulbs on my 2012 Ram today. Excellent video!
  • @stuartwood2677
    All of 1A Auto's videos are so precise and concise. Truly an invaluable resource for my automotive endeavors.
  • The masking tape trick to hold that bolt down while it's going vertical is brilliant. Thank you so much for that awesome tip saved me a ton of aggravation!
  • Can’t understand why they wouldn’t have just made the plugs for the light accessible from the hole in the wheel well. Sheesh.
  • @drewpodnar4784
    Great video but the only thing I would add is I have found it easier to "bump" the assembly out from behind through the access hole than to try to pull it out from the front.
  • I just completed and replaced my headlight assembly for my 2015 dodge 1500 from this video very helpful! Thanks !!
  • Thank you so much for this video on how to change headlights or bulbs without removing the grill. You guys have fantastic videos. I have watched many of them and they have helped so much.
  • @lisal818
    This video saved me $$$ & time. In the middle of no-where, had to explain to the mechanic on "How To" Thnx for a great learning experience. Going to buy these tools & DIY (for the other headlight b4 it goes out too)
  • @kimcoen5797
    I bought the lightbulbs and took the truck to the dealership. They said they had to take the grill off and wanted to charge me $90.00!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Nope!!! I checked YouTube and here we are!! Thank you!!
  • @sallycasper4783
    Thank you for this video! I was able to change my 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie headlight all by myself! I am so pumped! Thank you soooo much!
  • @spectrum3720
