Chevrolet Driver & Passenger Side 4 Piece Lighting Kit DIY Solutions LHT04172

One of the first things you need to do is pop your hood. Once you've done that, go ahead and grab on to this right here, flip it up, go ahead and draw it away. You might have to tilt it down to get it underneath there. Grab your headlamp assembly. Carefully pull it away. And then if you were to look at the back, you're going to see the pigtails for the headlamps. Go ahead and grab that. Turn it counterclockwise. Carefully remove it. Do the same to the other one.

Now that that headlamp is out of the way, we have a clear view of what's going on down here. If you were to look right where my screwdriver is, there's a little tab. You're going to press that towards the outer portion of the fender, and then draw the assembly away. Maybe I'll try it once just so you can see. Press it. Draw it away. There we are. Go ahead and grab onto these. If you squeeze this tab right here, it should unlock, and then you can twist it. Do the same for this one, and then, of course, the marker at the end, you just twist that.

So, now we're going to get our new lamp assembly back in. Go ahead and grab this. Go ahead and turn it in. Lock it. Give it a nice wiggle. Let's get our directional bulb in here. Go ahead and twist it. Lock it in. This one, little less reach here. Lock that one in as well. Perfect. Now, when you go to install this, on the inner portion, you're going to see there's a little hookie-do. That needs to slide in over there. So, we'll go ahead and get the hookie-do into where it's supposed to sit. And then if you look right here, we're going to line this up and then carefully press it in. Make sure it's locked in. This feels great.

Now, it's going to be time to install the headlamp. Go ahead and grab these bulbs. Start them. Line them up. Twist it. Lock it in. Do the same to the other. Okay. Now we're just going to come around the backside of the grille here just like this. Come up and over that, and then rest this right in. This should line up right along there, and then this should line up right down here. Now we're going to get our pin in here. It's a good idea to just clean it up if you can get off any other rust that might be on it. Get it close to where I want it. Now I'm just going to bring the headlamp over. Squeeze this in. Bring it right on through. Line it up with this one. Flip this over. All right. So, now it's going to be time to test these lights. We've got our headlights on. We've got some high beams. Check that directional. Make sure it works. Perfect.

One of the first things you need to do is pop your hood. Once you've done that, go ahead and grab onto this right here. Flip it up. Go ahead and draw it away. You might have to tilt it down to get it underneath there. Grab your headlamp assembly. Carefully pull it away. And then, if you were to look at the back, you're gonna see pigtails for the headlamps. Go ahead and grab that. Turn it counterclockwise. Carefully remove it. Do the same to the other one.

Now, it's gonna be time to install the headlamp. Go ahead and grab these bulbs. Start them. Line them up. Twist it. Lock it in. Do the same to the other. Okay. Now, we're just gonna come around the backside of the grille here just like this. Come up and over that. And then rest this right in. This should like up along there. And then, this should line up right down here. Now, we're gonna get our pin in here. It's a good idea just to clean it up if you can. Get off any of the rust that might be on it. Get it close to where I want it. Now, I'm just gonna bring the headlamp over. Squeeze this in. Bring it right on through. Line it up with this one. Flip this over.

All right. So now, it's gonna be time to test these lights. We got our headlights on. We got some high beams. Check that directional. Make sure it works. Perfect. We're sure that the lights all work. You'd want to just adjust the alignment of your headlamps. If you were to turn this to the left, it's gonna bring the beam up. If you turn it clockwise or to the right, it's gonna bring the beam down.

This is going to be a general tutorial on how to aim your brand new TRQ headlamp assemblies. Okay. So looking at your brand new TRQ headlamp assembly, you're gonna see where your low beam is, and you'll see a little dot right in the center, and that is the access point. Okay? So what we're gonna do is we're gonna mark that with an erasable marker just so it's easier to see. Next, what we need to do is measure from the level ground up to this point and take note of that measurement. Now, we're just gonna pull the car up to our wall. On our vehicle, we remember that the measurement was 28 inches for our access point. Your vehicle may be different, but that's where I'm going to put this tape. Just above that 28 inches. We'll do the same on the other side.

Okay. So let's just back the vehicle up, straight back, 25 feet from the wall. And now that we moved our vehicle 25 feet back from the wall, we're gonna start with our measurement here. That's where the headlamp center is. We're gonna go down 4 inches on the driver side. On the passenger side, we have our line here. What we need to do is go down 2 inches. To adjust the driver side, we're gonna cover our passenger side headlamp. If you look at the backside of your headlamp assembly, you're gonna see something that looks like this. This is the adjustment. Some of these headlight assemblies have one, two, or even more of them, but you should at least have one. This is how we're gonna adjust the headlight beam. Now, we're gonna lower the top part of the beam down to just below this line. When you turn the adjustment to the right it brings the beam up, and if you turn it to the left it'll bring the headlight beam down, and this is this way on most vehicles. Let's continue on to doing the passenger side. All right. We properly aligned our TRQ headlight assemblies. Okay. And on the quality TRQ headlamps for our pickup truck, the procedure's gonna be the same. You're gonna find your center dot, mark it, and then you'll measure from the level ground up to your dot.

So once your headlamps are properly adjusted, it'll be time to adjust your fog lamps. You'll notice on the driver side the focal point is all the way at the bottom right now. I would like to bring it up so it meets up with approximately the bottom of the focal point of the headlight. Some fog lamps have an adjuster, others don't. The ones that do have an adjuster, you would just turn the adjustment to the left or to the right to adjust the beam up and down to where it needs to be. Now with your TRQ headlamps and fog lamps properly aligned, you can drive down the road safely.

To open the hood on this 2005 Avalanche, open your door. Pull the release. The secondary release is actually under the emblem here. Push it to this side, and lift the hood up. To change this headlamp, you first have to remove the turn signal lamp. Reach down, push this tab in. Push this tab in right here, pull it out. Now, we're going to pull the headlamp away from the grill, off the tabs that it's mounted on. Push this in. Turn it counterclockwise to remove the bulb and socket. Turn the marker light bulb counterclockwise to remove it.

There are two pins, L-shaped pins, one here and one here. I'm going to unlock those to remove the light. I'm going to use a flat-bladed screwdriver to pop it out. Pull it straight out. Same thing over here. Pull it straight up and out. Put those aside. Headlamp is free. I'm going to unlock the connector on the lamp on the bulb and push it down. Pull it off. I'm going to undo the other side. I'm going to pull the clip or the lock on it away from the headlamp, and I'm going to push down on the connector at the same time to pull it off. Then, you can lift the light up and slide it out.

Here's our old yellow and discolored headlamp. It's all pitted from going down the road. You can't really see that well out of this. This is our new one from 1aauto.com, perfectly clear. You're going to have great night vision with this. It comes with two new bulbs, and look at the old one. It has the same style of mounting and the same shape. It'll fit great and look great.

I'm going to take our new head lamp. I'm going to feed that up like that. That has the adjustment for it. I'm going to plug in our connectors. Place it into the little mounting area. We'll reinstall these L-pins. This one will slide down just like that, and I can move it around a little bit to line it up. You flip it over and lock it in. Same thing with the other side. You need to wiggle the headlamp a little bit to get it in there. You want to flip it over and lock it. The headlamp is installed.

Now, reinstall your turn signal lamp. Turn this clockwise to lock it. Install the side marker bulb. Turn it clockwise to lock it. Put these tabs into the radiator support. Push this up and in. If you need to adjust the aim of the headlamp, you can turn this screw in or out.

This is a basic tutorial on how to aim the headlights on your vehicle. Find the axis of your headlights. This is usually indicated with a small dot or the headlight bulb size on the lens. If not, it's the actual center point of your headlight bulb. Transfer this mark to a vertical wall with a preferably dark color that'll allow you to back up 25 feet. Pull up and find the center line of your vehicle, as well as the center line of your headlight axis.

Mark the wall with the height of the headlights and a straight line going across at that axis height. Back your vehicle up 25 feet from the wall to the front edge of your vehicle's headlights. Turn your headlights on, and locate the adjusting screw, usually on the back side of your headlights. You'll want to rotate this until the passenger hot spot or focus of the beam is approximately two inches below the line and the driver's side is four inches below the line. We change the heights on each side so you can still get a good beam to the off side of the road on the passenger's side and have the driver's side low enough to not blind oncoming traffic.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to service the lower front light. This is the side marker light, the signal light, as well as your daytime driving lights. We'll show you both changing the bulbs, as well as if you want to replace it with a whole new assembly from 1A Auto. If you go for it, a new set of lights on the front end of your truck will take miles off, make it look a whole lot better, and help you see better at night. You won't need any tools for this. You may want a flat blade screwdriver.

Open up the hood by pulling the lever here. Reach under the center of the hood, you'll see a little lever right here. Push it towards the center of the truck and lift up.

The headlights are pretty easy. There's actually a little lock bar right here. Pull it up out of the clip. You might have to work it back and forth as you pull it towards the center of the truck. This pulls right out, and then your headlight tilts back and out. Right in behind, your headlights are connected. You don't have to have the battery disconnected. As long as the truck's off, there's no power going through here. Just pull back on these tabs and push off the connectors, and your whole assembly comes out.

Now if you're just looking to change the amber signal bulb, it's right here. There's a little tab. Press down, twist counterclockwise, and that comes out. Twist back in to lock it. Do the same thing, here, with your driving light: on the little tab, push down, twist counterclockwise, and that can come out. I've pulled that out for right now.

If you want to remove the whole assembly, just push the little tab right here. Push this tab towards the outside of the truck. Most of the time I'm able to push this tab just with my fingers and pull the light out, but it's possible you may want to use a flat blade screwdriver, here, to help you push on the tab, and then even twist it a little bit to help pry that tab from the body of the truck. The whole thing comes out. Disconnect here. Your marker light is down here, just twist it counterclockwise, pull that out, and the whole marker comes out.

Just to show you, here, on these bulbs, I just pull right out of their sockets like that, and they go back in.

Reinstall the new light from 1A Auto. It's going to go in just like the original. Put your marker in first. Push through the signal bulb, and your other bulb. There's a tab right here on the inside, make sure it goes into the radiator support. Then just watch this tab go right in, and it snaps right in place.

f you had some damage or your lights are clouded or faded, the new light from 1A Auto is going to go in there just like the original. It plugs in. The bulbs plug in just like the originals. On the bottom, there are two tabs that go into slots here, so you kind of feed it in behind the grill, and peek back in there so you can see those tabs going into the right spots. Once they're in, then, line it up right here. Push it back in, put the pin in and through, and just push it through until it locks down in place again. Then, for the new light, peel off the plastic covering.
