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 replace a headlight assembly
on a 2006 Chevy Impala it's virtually
the same for the left side and the right
side as well as Mah years 2006 through
2012 in order to do this you'll need a 7
mm socket socket wrench as well as a new
headlight assembly from 1 Auto we'll
also show you how to service the bulbs
inside the headlight assembly as
well we're going to be doing the
driver's side headlight it's basically
the same for the passenger side locate
the one 7 mm Fastener right there as
well as the white clip right
there I'm using a 7 mm deep socket with
a socket wrench to remove that um that
Fastener there and I'll go ahead and
fast forward as I do that
once you've got that out go ahead and
pull up on that white bar and pop it off
the uh two hooks on the back of the
headlight
assembly all right go ahead and pull out
your headlight assembly and in this clip
here we're going to show you how to
service the
bulbs and they're all pretty much the
same uh style of installation and uh
taking it out you're just going to twist
the um bulb socket out of the housing
and once you get them out you're going
to pull the bulbs out and disconnect
them from the harness and that's true
for all the bulbs there and uh see this
one just pulls right out snaps back in
the high beam and low beam which are the
next two bulbs are behind two plastic
covers and those are the same you have
to UNS you have to turn them to the left
and once you do that you'll be able to
access the bulb and the harness and it's
probably easier if you unclip the
harness first
and then twist the bulb
out and it's going to go back in it's
got three prongs and they need to line
up with the housing of the headlight
assembly and once you've done that twist
it tighten it and uh clip your harness
back in it's going to be the same for
the next bulb and then the uh last bulb
is going to be just like the first where
you twist it out and then pull the bulb
from the
socket
you're looking to replace the whole
headlight assembly go ahead and
disconnect your
connector here's a side by side of the
old part that's faded and pitted and
then the new part from 1A Auto that you
see has a perfectly clear lens and it's
ready to be installed just as it is to
reinstall first plug in your harness to
the connector on the back of the
headlight assembly and then I've found
that it's easiest to line up the three
tabs or recognize that there's two there
that go in those slots and then that one
on the back that goes in into the inter
fender well and uh if you put the bottom
in first it's a little bit easier you
can see I'm kind of having trouble with
it right there but um if you slide in
the bottom first uh it should go ahead
and fit right in just like
that now go ahead and reinstall that 7
mm screw fast forward as I do
that now go ahead and take that white
long clip that you took out align it
over the tabs the hooks that went on the
back side of the headlight assembly and
press
down we hope this helps you out brought
