[Music] we will be replacing some aftermarket led headlights in this 2013 cadillac srx with
all new led bulbs from ayla lighting for this installation you'll need a t25 torx driver
and a flathead screwdriver we will be starting under the hood on the passenger side
you can see the dust cover and access to the bulb but the air intake is preventing us from getting
to the bulb so we will show you how to remove this part to remove the air intake you'll need
to loosen the hose clamp on the top and release the three clips holding it around the bottom
loosen the screw and wiggle the hose to get it off
[Music]
lift up the three clips to unfasten them and you can pull off the lid [Music]
you'll now need to take out the filter
[Music]
under the filter you will see two t25 torx screws remove them and the housing is free [Music]
there are two more hoses running into the front the
hose on the bottom will need some help to free it from the chassis
we're going to go ahead and remove the top hose from the housing for easier mobility
and with some wiggling and turning we are able to remove the entire air intake assembly
now there is plenty of room to access the low beam bulb start by removing the dust cover
[Music]
you can then remove the bulb turn it counterclockwise
to unlock it and pull it out [Music]
unplug the wire connector by pressing on the back tab and pull it apart
now that we have the bulb out we can compare it to the new led from ayla and
a stock halogen that most cars come with you'll first notice that all three have the same base
all three have identical plugs
you'll start to see the difference when we compare the led chips
the old led bulb has a large rectangle led chip the ayla bulb has a thin strip of led chips this
bulb was designed this way to more closely match the light output from the halogen bulb and because
your light housing was designed for a halogen bulb the ayla led will perform at maximum efficiency
while projecting a light pattern that is bright and safe for you and other drivers installing
the ayla led is plug and play we will first secure the bulb to the external driver that was included
next we will plug in the wire connector
now we can feed the driver and any extra wires into the housing [Music]
before installing the bulb identify which tab is the largest
we can see the larger tab is at the top of the bulb
and the larger slot on the housing is pointed at about nine o'clock
match the larger tab with the larger slot and install the bulb we have noticed that locking
the bulb is difficult an easy fix for this is to swap out the rubber o-ring on the led
with the o-ring from the original bulb just peel off the rubber rings and swap them out [Music]
now install the led [Music]
after locking the bulb in place we can see the wire out the back is pointed out the side
at about four o'clock to be installed correctly that wire should be hanging directly down at the
six o'clock position when we pull the bulb out you can see that when locked the led chips will
not be facing out to the left and right as they should this is also an easy fix we have
included in the packaging an allen wrench that can be used to adjust the beam angle on the bulb
loosen the set screw on the side of the bulb hold the chuck in one hand and rotate
the bulb in the chuck with your other hand until it's in the right position [Music]
tighten the set screw with the allen wrench and you're ready to install it again [Music]
you can see the wire now hangs directly down
if we look at the front you can't see the bulb because of the lens but you can see
the light shining out to the left and right we recommend checking to make sure it all works
before putting it all back together replace the dust cover being sure to line up the tabs [Music]
wiggle and turn the air intake housing to get the front hoses back in place
replace the two screws reinstall the filter and put the cover back on
slide the hose back on and tighten the screw on the hose clamp
finally lock the clips around the bottom of the lid [Music]
the steps for changing out the bulb on the driver's side are the same but to access the
driver's side bulb we will need to remove the fuse box cover there are three clips holding on the
cover squeeze the clips together to loosen and you will be able to remove the fuse box cover [Music]
now you have access to the dust cover and bulb remove the dust cover and take out the
bulb unplug the wire connector and install the new led bulb replace the dust cover and the fuse box
cover and you are done let's check out the all new led headlights from ayla lighting [Music]
safer smarter brighter better we are ayla lighting
