through here all you do is unscrew it

through here all you do is unscrew it and this comes right out and you just

and this comes right out and you just

and this comes right out and you just disconnect the bulb and then we're gonna

disconnect the bulb and then we're gonna

disconnect the bulb and then we're gonna swap it over so the replacement is that

swap it over so the replacement is that

swap it over so the replacement is that one all we got to do is swap our bulb

one all we got to do is swap our bulb

one all we got to do is swap our bulb over to do that we're gonna turn it just

over to do that we're gonna turn it just

over to do that we're gonna turn it just like that pop it in connect it up and

like that pop it in connect it up and

like that pop it in connect it up and slide it in

so the other one is exactly the same

this time I'll just leave the bulb

this time I'll just leave the bulb

this time I'll just leave the bulb connected only takes two seconds these

connected only takes two seconds these

connected only takes two seconds these are also super easy looks like we just

are also super easy looks like we just

are also super easy looks like we just got to pop it out from the front right

this side be super careful here there we

this side be super careful here there we go

go

go okay so now what we have to do is get

okay so now what we have to do is get

okay so now what we have to do is get this actual light bulb out of here and

this actual light bulb out of here and

this actual light bulb out of here and to do that all you do is give it a twist

to do that all you do is give it a twist

to do that all you do is give it a twist a clockwise twist pull it out swap it

a clockwise twist pull it out swap it

a clockwise twist pull it out swap it over let's give this a little white

over let's give this a little white

over let's give this a little white before you put this back in make sure

before you put this back in make sure

before you put this back in make sure you don't lose this cable down inside

you don't lose this cable down inside

you don't lose this cable down inside there because it'll be too difficult to

there because it'll be too difficult to

there because it'll be too difficult to get out so just connect this back up now

get out so just connect this back up now

get out so just connect this back up now the tricky part here is there's a little

the tricky part here is there's a little

the tricky part here is there's a little there's a little lip right here and that

there's a little lip right here and that

there's a little lip right here and that actually has to go behind the metal

actually has to go behind the metal

actually has to go behind the metal right here and then this has to get

right here and then this has to get

right here and then this has to get pushed in so it can be a little

pushed in so it can be a little

pushed in so it can be a little difficult

what you have to do is you have to start

what you have to do is you have to start

what you have to do is you have to start pushing it in a little here you have to

pushing it in a little here you have to

pushing it in a little here you have to get this metal clip sort of going in a

get this metal clip sort of going in a

get this metal clip sort of going in a little bit you don't have to get this

little bit you don't have to get this

little bit you don't have to get this hook under the metal yet you just sort

hook under the metal yet you just sort

hook under the metal yet you just sort of start pushing it in and once you kind

of start pushing it in and once you kind

of start pushing it in and once you kind of get down in there and you've bent

of get down in there and you've bent

of get down in there and you've bent this metal in you have you still have a

this metal in you have you still have a

this metal in you have you still have a little bit of room to angle it like that

little bit of room to angle it like that

little bit of room to angle it like that hook this under the under the metal and

hook this under the under the metal and

hook this under the under the metal and then push this side in all the way so

then push this side in all the way so

then push this side in all the way so you're sort of pushing both sides in a

you're sort of pushing both sides in a

you're sort of pushing both sides in a little bit and then you go this way and

little bit and then you go this way and

little bit and then you go this way and then you go that way to actually sink at

then you go that way to actually sink at

then you go that way to actually sink at home let's do this one just to see how

home let's do this one just to see how

home let's do this one just to see how it is and just sort of pull out this way

it is and just sort of pull out this way

it is and just sort of pull out this way sort of at an angle like that that'll

sort of at an angle like that that'll

sort of at an angle like that that'll kind of get it out of there let's clean

kind of get it out of there let's clean

kind of get it out of there let's clean that dirt off this is a good opportunity

that dirt off this is a good opportunity

that dirt off this is a good opportunity to do that okay now we can twist this

to do that okay now we can twist this

to do that okay now we can twist this off like that put this in twist it on

off like that put this in twist it on

off like that put this in twist it on now we'll sort of start pushing it in

there like that easy well it's already

for free because you can still do that

for free because you can still do that now the thing is we're gonna lose this

now the thing is we're gonna lose this

now the thing is we're gonna lose this light in here when we upgrade to this

light in here when we upgrade to this

light in here when we upgrade to this new light that we're gonna put in

new light that we're gonna put in

new light that we're gonna put in because we're just not going to have I

because we're just not going to have I

because we're just not going to have I think we're not going to have this panel

think we're not going to have this panel

think we're not going to have this panel anymore

anymore

anymore I believe that's what it is so the the

I believe that's what it is so the the

I believe that's what it is so the the the kit that I have did come with an

the kit that I have did come with an

the kit that I have did come with an extra light we're gonna have to see if

extra light we're gonna have to see if

extra light we're gonna have to see if we want to use that or not it kind of

we want to use that or not it kind of

we want to use that or not it kind of looks I don't know I don't I don't

looks I don't know I don't I don't

looks I don't know I don't I don't exactly know where it's meant to be

exactly know where it's meant to be

exactly know where it's meant to be mounted so we'll figure it out in order

mounted so we'll figure it out in order

mounted so we'll figure it out in order to get the whole tail light off you got

to get the whole tail light off you got

to get the whole tail light off you got one nut right here

one nut right here

one nut right here there's going to be another one that we

there's going to be another one that we

there's going to be another one that we access through here we're just gonna

access through here we're just gonna

access through here we're just gonna push this little thing off like that

push this little thing off like that

push this little thing off like that one of little things broke anyway

one of little things broke anyway

one of little things broke anyway because it's just so brittle so you get

because it's just so brittle so you get

because it's just so brittle so you get in through there to get another one

in through there to get another one

in through there to get another one the other ones gonna be back through

the other ones gonna be back through

the other ones gonna be back through here we're gonna need to pull this back

here we're gonna need to pull this back

here we're gonna need to pull this back a little bit so we're gonna need to pull

a little bit so we're gonna need to pull

a little bit so we're gonna need to pull this out and that that probably should

this out and that that probably should

this out and that that probably should be enough to get at it okay we're gonna

be enough to get at it okay we're gonna

be enough to get at it okay we're gonna pull the center out of this thing and

pull the center out of this thing and

pull the center out of this thing and then that thing just pulls right out now

then that thing just pulls right out now

then that thing just pulls right out now let's see if we have enough room here to

let's see if we have enough room here to

let's see if we have enough room here to pull this back and get it our bolt yeah

pull this back and get it our bolt yeah

pull this back and get it our bolt yeah we're definitely gonna have enough room

we're definitely gonna have enough room

we're definitely gonna have enough room if we just do that I'll show you what it

if we just do that I'll show you what it

if we just do that I'll show you what it looks like so you can see it right back

looks like so you can see it right back

looks like so you can see it right back there just reach in unbolt that will be

there just reach in unbolt that will be

there just reach in unbolt that will be good so I'm using automated means to do

good so I'm using automated means to do

good so I'm using automated means to do all this

then you need an extension for this one

drop it down so reach in gingerly grab

drop it down so reach in gingerly grab

drop it down so reach in gingerly grab it and now you can remove your light so

it and now you can remove your light so

it and now you can remove your light so now we're gonna fit up our new light put

now we're gonna fit up our new light put

now we're gonna fit up our new light put that right in so the new headlight

that right in so the new headlight

that right in so the new headlight actually comes with this piece which is

actually comes with this piece which is

actually comes with this piece which is what holds it on up here so that's nice

what holds it on up here so that's nice

what holds it on up here so that's nice if you you know go and break yours off

if you you know go and break yours off

if you you know go and break yours off or something I'm gonna put this one on

or something I'm gonna put this one on

or something I'm gonna put this one on in there by hand most of the way and

in there by hand most of the way and

in there by hand most of the way and this one I'm gonna put that in the

this one I'm gonna put that in the

this one I'm gonna put that in the socket I'm gonna sort of reach that one

socket I'm gonna sort of reach that one

socket I'm gonna sort of reach that one through and look and see where I'm going

through and look and see where I'm going

through and look and see where I'm going and get that one like mostly on I'm

and get that one like mostly on I'm

and get that one like mostly on I'm gonna tighten them on by hand which I

gonna tighten them on by hand which I

gonna tighten them on by hand which I think it's probably a better policy when

think it's probably a better policy when

think it's probably a better policy when things are this delicate

I should have grabbed a short socket for

I should have grabbed a short socket for

I should have grabbed a short socket for this one back here so there's a tip not

this one back here so there's a tip not

this one back here so there's a tip not making them too tight because don't want

making them too tight because don't want

making them too tight because don't want to crack any plastic or anything just

to crack any plastic or anything just

to crack any plastic or anything just get this back in pop this back in here

get this back in pop this back in here

get this back in pop this back in here like that then we'll just get this

like that then we'll just get this

like that then we'll just get this connect it up okay so I'm not gonna need

connect it up okay so I'm not gonna need

connect it up okay so I'm not gonna need my extra ground that BMW installed

my extra ground that BMW installed

my extra ground that BMW installed that's not gonna matter now the thing is

that's not gonna matter now the thing is

that's not gonna matter now the thing is they gate this is for a light that you

they gate this is for a light that you

they gate this is for a light that you can kind of put in here and mount

can kind of put in here and mount

can kind of put in here and mount somewhere so this is it it's this and it

somewhere so this is it it's this and it

somewhere so this is it it's this and it comes with this little bulb which you

comes with this little bulb which you

comes with this little bulb which you can stick in here should be able to push

can stick in here should be able to push

can stick in here should be able to push that in right yeah and then let's just

that in right yeah and then let's just

that in right yeah and then let's just twists in wait why did we go out let's

twists in wait why did we go out let's

twists in wait why did we go out let's close the trunk and open it up again

close the trunk and open it up again

close the trunk and open it up again maybe it's that maybe the power just

maybe it's that maybe the power just

maybe it's that maybe the power just kind of cut out after a while okay

kind of cut out after a while okay

kind of cut out after a while okay yeah this is what happened so we can

yeah this is what happened so we can

yeah this is what happened so we can kind of just go ahead and mount that

kind of just go ahead and mount that

kind of just go ahead and mount that right there

right there

right there hey then we'll have some trunk lights at

hey then we'll have some trunk lights at

hey then we'll have some trunk lights at night man this is going in pretty rough

night man this is going in pretty rough

night man this is going in pretty rough it feels like the little black plastic

it feels like the little black plastic

it feels like the little black plastic tab that's sticking out is gonna twist

tab that's sticking out is gonna twist

tab that's sticking out is gonna twist off yeah I would definitely suggest

off yeah I would definitely suggest

off yeah I would definitely suggest holding the little black thing so it

holding the little black thing so it

holding the little black thing so it doesn't twist hold it if you can here we

doesn't twist hold it if you can here we

doesn't twist hold it if you can here we go that is it so on the other side you

go that is it so on the other side you

go that is it so on the other side you just have to remove this battery tray

just have to remove this battery tray

just have to remove this battery tray from down here it's got two little

from down here it's got two little

from down here it's got two little things that you pull out here you're

things that you pull out here you're

things that you pull out here you're gonna have to actually lift you know the

gonna have to actually lift you know the

gonna have to actually lift you know the the whole bottom of the trunk thing and

the whole bottom of the trunk thing and

the whole bottom of the trunk thing and have to lift that up in order to get

have to lift that up in order to get

have to lift that up in order to get this out of there because these two

this out of there because these two

this out of there because these two things they won't pull out unless you

things they won't pull out unless you

things they won't pull out unless you lift up the tray that's the tray that

lift up the tray that's the tray that

lift up the tray that's the tray that you guys are sitting on right now and

you guys are sitting on right now and

you guys are sitting on right now and this just kind of pulls out you don't

this just kind of pulls out you don't

this just kind of pulls out you don't need to do anything else you just kind

need to do anything else you just kind

need to do anything else you just kind of pull it out from where it is and then

of pull it out from where it is and then

of pull it out from where it is and then you can get to the back and unscrew the

you can get to the back and unscrew the

you can get to the back and unscrew the bolts so I've got something wedged

bolts so I've got something wedged

bolts so I've got something wedged against the brake pedal right now you

against the brake pedal right now you

against the brake pedal right now you can see that that light is on and that

can see that that light is on and that

can see that that light is on and that light is on as well let's test the turn

light is on as well let's test the turn

light is on as well let's test the turn signals so there's the left and there's

signals so there's the left and there's

signals so there's the left and there's the right so now we just have to change

the right so now we just have to change

the right so now we just have to change these lights out to do that we just need

these lights out to do that we just need

these lights out to do that we just need to pry these off I went and got a prong

to pry these off I went and got a prong

to pry these off I went and got a prong or prying tool that's just a little

or prying tool that's just a little

or prying tool that's just a little easier to use I think doesn't need to be

easier to use I think doesn't need to be

easier to use I think doesn't need to be non-marring on this because you got the

non-marring on this because you got the

non-marring on this because you got the carpet right here I can definitely tell

carpet right here I can definitely tell

carpet right here I can definitely tell somebody's been in here before because

somebody's been in here before because

somebody's been in here before because there are marks right here and because

there are marks right here and because

there are marks right here and because they just tore the carpet right here on

they just tore the carpet right here on

they just tore the carpet right here on these two so I had some animals in here

these two so I had some animals in here

these two so I had some animals in here before so this just disconnects like

before so this just disconnects like

before so this just disconnects like that just a simple push thing it looks

that just a simple push thing it looks

that just a simple push thing it looks like we got just one bolt right here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music] so the way this one comes off is you

so the way this one comes off is you

so the way this one comes off is you just push it up and you kind of get it

just push it up and you kind of get it

just push it up and you kind of get it off at an angle kind of like that

off at an angle kind of like that

off at an angle kind of like that because there are these little lips

because there are these little lips

because there are these little lips right here that grab underneath so you

right here that grab underneath so you

right here that grab underneath so you just have to do it that way and for

just have to do it that way and for

just have to do it that way and for installation of the new one same thing

just want to get the lip around like

just want to get the lip around like

just want to get the lip around like that so this light also comes with one

that so this light also comes with one

that so this light also comes with one of these and it goes in like that and

of these and it goes in like that and

of these and it goes in like that and then we're just going to need to tighten

then we're just going to need to tighten

then we're just going to need to tighten it up and we keep the same bulbs

let's just go and that snap on so I

let's just go and that snap on so I

let's just go and that snap on so I almost forgot my package came with two

almost forgot my package came with two

almost forgot my package came with two like cree LED bulbs and they are sort of

like cree LED bulbs and they are sort of

like cree LED bulbs and they are sort of these these little twisting types that

these these little twisting types that

these these little twisting types that are just like the normal headlight bulbs

are just like the normal headlight bulbs

are just like the normal headlight bulbs and i think they're supposed to be

and i think they're supposed to be

and i think they're supposed to be reverse lights like replacements for the

reverse lights like replacements for the

reverse lights like replacements for the reverse lights that kind of makes sense

reverse lights that kind of makes sense

reverse lights that kind of makes sense to me those the ones you're using most

to me those the ones you're using most

to me those the ones you're using most often right so just kind of pop up it

often right so just kind of pop up it

often right so just kind of pop up it like that let's pop this in and this is

like that let's pop this in and this is

like that let's pop this in and this is the final look it came out awesome I'm

the final look it came out awesome I'm

the final look it came out awesome I'm really happy with it guys check that out

really happy with it guys check that out

really happy with it guys check that out it looks so good

it looks so good

it looks so good I love it it was definitely money well

I love it it was definitely money well

I love it it was definitely money well spent and of course the front doesn't

spent and of course the front doesn't

spent and of course the front doesn't look as good because these headlights

look as good because these headlights

look as good because these headlights are still a little old they need to be

are still a little old they need to be

are still a little old they need to be cleaned up so I'll definitely go ahead

cleaned up so I'll definitely go ahead

cleaned up so I'll definitely go ahead and make a video on that because of

and make a video on that because of

and make a video on that because of course YouTube needs another headlight

course YouTube needs another headlight

course YouTube needs another headlight cleaning video right you know I think

cleaning video right you know I think

cleaning video right you know I think about 20 airplanes have taken off from

about 20 airplanes have taken off from

about 20 airplanes have taken off from Burbank and LAX during the course of

Burbank and LAX during the course of

Burbank and LAX during the course of this video and flown overhead and

this video and flown overhead and
