This is amazing.....have to loosen and remove the bumper/fender, multiple clips/shrouds, etc.....
Just to change the low beam light bulb! Ridiculous!

My car has some sort of full LED lights. Same thing. Bumper comes off. Can't change the bulbs. The whole assembly is $1200. I have one with moisture in it.

I had to do all that to change the bulb in a Yukon. They make it ridiculously difficult

What year? The 202o you have to remove the air filter box, but that's not bad. I've replaced ours twice because crappy LEDs were crappy. 2nd set has been good.

It was a 2010. To get to the passenger side bulb I had to open the wheel cover and access the light through the wheel well. It was ridiculous.

These engineers must get their jollies by making difficult things that should be easy.

The wife had a 2013 Enclave that said the same thing. Youtube said otherwise. You still had to remove a tire and do some contortionist stuff but it was better than pulling the bumper.

Glad that pos is gone. The car...not the wife.

they get their marching orders from corporate to make the least expensive car to build that will get them out of factory warranty.


Engineers don't like making junk anymore than people like to work on it.
