12 Cruze headlight replacement work!!!

September 21, 2024

Not long ago, Cruze collided with a motorcycle. The front bumper and right headlight were damaged. The other party paid compensation, but it was not much. I considered replacing it with a miscellaneous brand headlight on Taobao, but I communicated with a friend who repaired the car. I learned that non-original headlight may have some problems.
The final conclusion is: either replace an original headlight assembly or replace a shell.
Being stingy, I naturally chose the latter.

In fact, after a period of careful consideration (I actually regretted it when it was over), I started the car in 12 years and have been following me for eight years. The old Cruze has solid workmanship but touching fuel consumption. During this period, apart from replacing the spark plug and battery once, it hardly caused any burden to me. However, as a car that has been in the United States for 12 years, it feels a little unsatisfactory if I don’t use it myself.

Less chatter, material preparation: a set of socket wrenches (the specific model is reflected in the picture), a cross word screwdriver, a hexagonal screwdriver, a new large lampshade, snake glue, a hot air gun, a helper ~~~

I. Remove the front bar: two screws and four buckles above the center net; three screws on the front side of the two front wheels, two screws on the adjacent chassis, and four screws on the underbody below the center net.
Tear the front enclosure from one corner and create a miracle with great force!!
Pull the perimeter around the car a little bit and pull the cord off the fog lights.

II. Demolition of headlights: This time, we removed the entire enclosure. Therefore, we are not sure when we can not completely remove the enclosure and replace it. We hope that interested friends can give it a try or relevant experts can provide answers.
Remember to unplug the power when removing the headlight.

III. Disassemble and disassemble the lampshade; after the headlight is removed, the lampshade is removed. The lampshade and the main body are glued together. Here, a hot air gun is needed to bake the glue soft (we were stuck here for a time because there was no hot air gun), otherwise it is impossible to disassemble it. And remember to unscrew the turn signal off before removing it. There are three screws on the lampshade that are fixed to a part inside. When removing it, don’t just pull the outer cover and cause damage.

Clean the card groove after removing it, clean up all the glue before it, bury the newly purchased snake glue into the groove, blow it soft with a hot air gun, and embed the lamp shade in it

The overall operation took an afternoon. If you were stuck halfway without a hot air gun for an hour. If you bought a hot air gun for an hour, everything else went smoothly. It is recommended that friends who have no help operate carefully. Friends who are not skilled or sentimental are not recommended to implement it.

There will definitely be omissions in the details of the interpolation described above, but all the precautions have been explained. In addition to the need for some brute force and courage when surrounding and tearing, please be cautious if other steps encounter resistance and check whether there are any unseen fixing devices.

I hope it will help everyone!!
