Hi, I'm Mike Green from 1A Auto. Today, I'm going to show you how to remove and replace the headlights on this vehicle. It's a 1999 Suburban. It's generally the same as a 1988 to 99 Chevy or GMC truck, as well as the '92 to '99 Suburban, Yukon, the 2-door Jimmy full sized, and the Tahoe. With that, the first thing we're going to do is open up the hood to access the headlight.
If you're looking to replace your light bulbs, locate these two five millimeter studs. Remove them with socket or a wrench. Your light comes out. You have access to the back of the headlights. You can just unplug the low beam and the high beam and replace the bulbs. If you're looking to replace the headlight assemblies, stay with us. We'll go into more detail on that. In behind there's a mounting plate; if your headlight's been damaged, normally this mounting plate is damaged also. If we want to replace the whole headlight assembly, we'll have to remove the grill.

To do that, what we do next is remove the parking light. It has four Phillip's screws that we take out. Okay, let's speed this up a little bit. You remove the light. You just click the thumbs and twist and pull the lights out. Your parking light's removed; the opposite parking light. There are ten screws which we're going to quickly show you on the grill. These screws hold the grill in, two behind the parking lights, two in the middle, two behind the opposite side parking lights, and then four up top. I got the 10 bolts out. You can see the headlights are still in. The marker lights are still in, but they are unplugged. Once those bolts are out, you can pull it forward. Just make sure everything comes apart in here. Bulbs and stuff are clear. The grill's out, separate.

You can easily unbolt your headlight assemblies. From here we're looking at the driver's side headlight assembly, we'd remove this bolt, this bolt, this bolt, and this bolt. Going to unplug; your headlight's free. This is the new headlight assembly. Okay, and quadruple time. Shops charge 50 bucks an hour for this stuff. This has got to be worth 200 bucks an hour anyways. Look at that hand movement. I don't even know if tools move that fast. Now that the light's bolted in, we can connect the headlight harnesses. Once the headlight harnesses are connected, we'll reach into the cockpit real quick. Test the low beams, click on the high beams. Oh! Everything looks good.

We can put the grill back on, just reverse your procedure. Tilt it in there. Pull the lights through first, each side. Tilt it in. There's a little harness in the center, too. Make sure that doesn't get pinched in there. Push it up in. The top, the plastic lip goes up over the top of the sheet metal. Once everything looks right, we'll bolt it back in. You're ready to go. Ten they're seven millimeter bolts. We've re-installed the grill. We need to reinstall, we need to plug in the markers and install the parking lights. We're now back in close-up. This you put in and you twist. These go in just like they came out. You get them to click as they lock into place. A shot of espresso or two.

There I am standing in front of the truck. My lips aren't moving. I am talking to you through the magic of computers. We hope this video helped you out how you can see we got our lights back in. Our grill's on and our parking lights.

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

In this video, we're going to show you how to service as well as replace the entire taillight assembly on this 1996 Chevy Tahoe. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new taillights from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, and a Phillips screwdriver.

Using your flat blade screwdriver, you want to pry out this cap and this cap right here. Now, you want to remove this Phillips screw and this Phillips screw. We'll just fast-forward as Don does that. Now, pull the taillight straight out and then pull back on the tab on this harness and pull it free.

Now, if you want to just service the bulbs, you just remove these two Phillips screws holding on this panel. Now, you just pull the bulb out and then push your new one in. The other two are the exact same way. If your circuit board ever breaks, we do offer exact replacements at 1AAuto.com.

To replace the bulbs, you can just put that circuit board back into place and replace those two Phillips screws. In the back is the original light; in the middle is the new light from 1AAuto. You can see in exact replacement. We also offer kind of a performance style and these styles do change from time to time. This is example of what we were offering when this video is done.

To re-install, plug it back in, put the light in place, and line up the holes, and re-install those two screws.

Replace those two caps. To give you a better idea of how they look, on the left is the new one and on the right is the old one. You can see they're identical. These just look a little bit newer. Then for the performance taillight and just a close up of it. And you're all set.

Today we're going to replace a parking light for a GM truck and SUV. All that you need is a Phillips screwdriver. It's a pretty easy process.

There are four Phillips screws that hold the parking light on here. Use a Phillips screwdriver. In this case, we have a screw gun and we'll speed the video up a little bit for you. Once those screws are out, the parking light comes right out. There's little thumb locks and you just twist the bulbs and pull them out. Your parking light is out.

Replacement is just a reversal of the procedure. You take your light, put the bulbs in, twist and lock them into place. Put the light in its place. You have your four screws. In a minute we'll speed it up again for you. Thread the four screws in first and then use your power tool or just a regular screw driver and tighten the screws. The screws don't have to be over tight. It is a plastic lens so you don't want to tighten it too much and break the screws. That's it.

In this video, we're going to be working with our 1996 GMC Sierra. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your vehicle's front, upper reflectors. If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles, and if you need these parts for your truck, you can follow the link down in the description over 1AAuto.com.

Here are the items you'll need for this repair.

Remove the two 3/16 screws securing the headlight in. These come out of the top of the grill. We'll do that with a socket, ratchet, and extension. Remove the headlight from the vehicle, and disconnect the headlight bulbs. Repeat these steps on the opposite side. To remove the upper reflector, use a 13 millimeter or a half-inch wrench. If you have access to a ratcheting wrench, this is a great opportunity to use it. You'll want to remove the two nuts on the back. These are just plastic body nuts, there's not much tension on them. You can then pull the reflector out of the grill. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Here we have our old side marker that we removed from our vehicle, and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same, we have the same size and shape. Our new reflector is nice and bright, where the old one is dim, and not going to reflect a lot of light out of it. Same mounting bracket on the backside, and the same two studs. These are actually body nuts, so they'll cut the threads as we turn them on here. So if your old side markers are cracked, broken, or faded like these, this new part from 1A Auto is going to go and direct fit just like your original equipment, and fix you up right.

Install the reflector, and the two 13 millimeter body nuts. Tighten them down. A 13 millimeter ratcheting wrench, or whatever you can get in there with. Reconnect your headlights. Reinstall them, and reinstall the 3/16 bolts. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 13mm wrench and Phillips head screwdriver

Remove the four Phillips head screws on the outside edges of your turn signal. We'll do this using a Phillips head screwdriver. Once the screws are out, you can pull the housing forward and remove the electrical connectors. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

To remove the lower turn signal, you'll want to turn the bulb socket sideways and remove it. It comes out just like a reflector does, with two 13-millimeter nuts or 1/2-inch nuts. You'll want to remove those with a ratcheting wrench if you have access to one. Otherwise you'll just have to work them off with a regular box or open-end wrench. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Here we have our old side marker lights that we removed from our truck and our new parts from 1aauto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same size and shape. Our old ones are faded and foggy. They're not going to let a lot of light through. This one's cracked. It looks like it's been hit with something. Our new ones are in great shape, nice and bright and clear. Same two bulb mounting location on the back of all of these, along with the same bulb socket on all four pieces. If your old side marker lights have cracked, broken, or faded, these new parts from 1A Auto are going to go in direct fit, just like your original equipment and fix you up right.

Install the light into the side marker, as well as your two 13-millimeter nuts. Tighten those down with a 13-millimeter ratcheting wrench. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Reinstall the lights into the turn signals. Install them into the grille, along with the four Phillips head screws. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.

Start off by removing these four Phillips screws, and we'll fast-forward as Don does this. Once those are removed, pull the light out, and then you twist the sockets counterclockwise to remove them. To remove a bulb you push it in and twist it, and it pulls up, and you push it back in and twist it to lock it.

On the right is the old parking light assembly; on the left is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll mount exactly the same. Twist the sockets clockwise into your new parking light assembly to lock them.

Then push your parking light assembly into place, making sure all four of those holes line up. Then replace those four Phillips screws. And you're all set.
