In this video, we will be replacing the headlights on this 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This feature is the same for '99 to '06 Grand Cherokee. And you can interchange Laredo and Limited headlights.

Tools you'll need are a 7 mm wrench or an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. The screwdriver is not quite necessary but it does help you out in a couple different places.

Okay so maybe you had a little altercation with a rock or a slip and spin and you need to replace a headlight or a fog light because of damage. Or maybe you just want to take 100,000 miles off your vehicle and I'll show you what I mean. Okay here you can see that new drivers side headlight and then both changed out headlights makes the truck look a lot different. Go back to the old. Maybe you want to change the look of your truck. And as you can see the Limited headlights installed and now you can see both headlights installed. Now this truck is 130,000 mile truck or you can see by just changing out the lights. You can take about 100,000 miles off the front end.

Okay, headlight removed from '99 to '04 Grand Cherokee. Pretty easy. 7 mm nut or actually bolt, very long bolt. Comes up and out. Put it right there. And now what you can do if you want, you can use a big screwdriver and pry in certain locations. But actually if you do it right, you should be able to grab and just manage it off and I pulled and it comes out, but the first time you do it you will have to give it a good pull or a good yank. And then you want to use a screwdriver again. You don't need one nearly as big. Just pry the clip a little bit. Don't pry your finger like I just did. Pry the click a little bit and pull that one off, another one for the headlight here. Come over here to the high beam and then twist the light up. That one is already out. So there are two smaller bolts here, maybe a little harder one. Let's put that one back in. I don't know how long that one has been out. It should be locked on like that. And now your headlight is free.

You can see two clips that came with it here. What we're going to do is spray a little oil or penetrating oil on there and those will pull off. I'll show you that in a second. Okay so I'll take that clip off. Just a little bit of penetrating oil and a little bit on this one up here. That one is off. And that one is off. Okay now those clips that we just moved, you can see one right up here. One is still there. So these others ones, one goes here. And then one goes down here. Okay and then you're ready to put your new light in, okay. So here you have the pretty new light. You can see it's got the three studs. So now push into those clips. The first thing we do is we hook up all the lights. Again, you put them and twist. Okay. Now hook up the high beam and clip on the low beams. Maybe I'll get you a better view. Basically, you just put it back in. Put the fender in first and then you can see right down. Just take the camera off the tripod for a second. You can really see right down in there where that one is going. And then these you can also see, you can kind of see that one way down in there. That right there, you can see. There's the stud and there's the clip. You can see in there well enough to line it up. Okay and once you have it lined up, and feel that it's going into the clips pretty good, give it a good one, two, three, push. And it's in. The screws go right on there. Use your 7 mm socket and driver and you're all set. Wash it up a little bit and you're good.
