Time Required

Introduction

You may have a 2013 GMC Terrain, and your headlight bulb is out. Don't think about taking it to a mechanic because you can do it yourself with just one tool. All you'll need is your new H11 headlight bulb and a T15 Torx screwdriver.

Tools

T15 Torx Screwdriver

Parts

Halogen H11 Headlight Bulb

Step 1

Identify which headlight is out.

Step 2

Turn the wheels toward the opposite side of the broken headlight.
Go to the Front fender, which is on the same side as the broken headlight, to find the cover in the inner fender.

Step 3

Use a T15 Torx screwdriver to remove the screw.
Turn the cover counterclockwise to remove it.

Step 4

Reach your hand into the hole to find the round cap to the bulb.
Turn it counterclockwise to expose the socket holding the bulb.

Step 5

Twist the socket counterclockwise and pull it out to expose the bulb.

Step 6

Unclip the old bulb from the socket.

Step 7

Grab your new bulb.
Make sure not to touch the actual bulb because the oils from your skin can cause it to burn out.
Plug it back into the socket and twist it clockwise in the hole.
