Thank you for the great tutorial! After watching I changed out both running lights in my '08 Tahoe. It only took me 1 hour from start to finish. Probably could have done it in half the time with your Little Helper.

I just changed mine on a 2007 Tahoe. You do not have to take the rubber off the wheel well to do this. Just take off the six 10mm on the front grill and the two 10mm off the light assembly and you can pull the grill back far enough to get your arm in there to change the running light. Now the others, I don't know if you can do this, but you can easily access the running lights this way.

Maybe it's different for an '07 Tahoe, but with my '09 you just loosen the the two 10 mm bolts and you can pull the headlight right out. It's a tight fit, but it comes out and it's easy.

Maybe someone already broke our side tabs (the bolt behind the inner fender well cover that he took off) on the headlight bezel off but my '07 I just took the bolts up on the core support loose and popped the bezel loose and got my hand behind it. No grille nor any of the front valance or inner fender well bolts had to come loose on my '07 either.

No tools required. 2 L shaped pins you pop rotate and the whole assembly comes out. No need to mess with the grill and and inner fender like that. My wife's 08 suburban, like that Tahoe, is a royal pain. Thanks for the video for I was about to just yank that light out and call it a day. Crazy designers always wanting to complicate things more than they need to be to make the service department money hand over fist. Anyways, thanks again.

I replaced with LED lights. Hope they last longer than incandescent. Seems like a lot of Tahoe's, Suburbans and GMCs are driving around with one or both lights out. Mine is a 2013. 4 year life on these bulbs suck. Hope to not replace LEDs for a long time. LEDs are polarity sensitive though. Be sure they work before tightening everything up. You may have to remove and do a 180 on the bulb.

Phil Sissons, very good tip about LED polarity. Some have 2 leds ,and some have 3 or more. They all project the light differently. Hope your last longer than the OEM bulbs.

Check out my LED replacement bulbs here at Amazon. They have way more than 3 LEDs - i didn't count, but looks like 50 or so! I knew the 30K hour service life would be enough. I didn't read the part about "non polarity design" the first time and was surprised that I got them oriented properly on the first try. That explains that! They are expensive compared to incandescent bulbs, but if automakers would charge us up front for them, the repair people couldn't rip us off! www.amazon.com/iBrightstar-Newest-Projector-Replacement-Reverse/dp/B01MDUEBX1/ref=pd_nav_hcs_bia_i_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=F6H2V73HV28C54H6T4P0

Now the newer vehicles won't let you swap a identical radio, or even the vehicle battery without programming it to the vehicle. Actually the same with some headlights and other things as well. They simply will not turn on until you take a trip to the dealer.
