Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the headlight on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's the same process on the 2500s and 3500s between the years of 2008 and 2012. The only tools you'll need are a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet, pliers, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Remove the top trim panel. There are some clips and what you do is use your flat blade screwdriver to pry up in the middle of the clip. Once you get the middle up, the whole clip will come out. There are eight of these clips to remove. We'll fast forward, here, as we take those out.
Once the clips are out, you can just lift that panel and set it aside. You can see here there are four 10 millimeter bolts. You want to just go ahead and remove those. Down behind the grill, you'll see there are four of these clips. You just want to use pliers to push the clip together, and then you want to pull out on the grill to pull it free. You want to do that to all four of them. After all four of those clips are free, you just want to pull that grill out and off. Behind the headlight, you can see there's these two 10 millimeter bolts. You just want to remove those. If you come down here into the wheel well and you pull this inner panel back, you'll see there is one more 10 millimeter bolt right there securing that headlight. You just need to loosen that bolt up some.
With those three bolts out, you just want to pull that headlight out and turn it a little bit and it should come free. You'll see there's a harness here. All you'll want to do is . there's a tab at the top, push it in, and pull that harness out.
The new headlight's in the front, the old one in the back. You can see they're exactly the same. Same mounting points, same harnesses, everything. It's an exact replacement from 1A Auto.
If you're just looking to replace the bulbs, you just turn them counter clockwise, they unlock, and pull out. Then, you disconnect by lifting the tab up and pulling out. The new bulb will go on. Insert and turn clockwise to lock it. Same with the upper bulb. Then, there are two other bulbs, basically the same idea, twist counter clockwise. These just pull right out. Put a new bulb in, make sure it snaps in there completely, and put it in. Do the same thing for the upper one. Pull it out, new bulb, make sure it snaps in there completely.
To reconnect your headlight assembly, you just want to push that harness back in and line up these tabs with the holes on the truck. You just want to twist the light in and push it back into place. Let's fast forward, here, as he replaces those three 10 millimeter bolts that secure the headlight. To put the grill back on, you just want to line up the four tabs on the back and push it into place and it will lock on. We'll fast forward as he replaces those four 10 millimeter bolts along the top of the grill. Just put that panel back and replace those eight clips along the top by just pushing down the center to lock them. That's it.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
What's up, guys? My name's Andy from 1A Auto. I'm going to be installing these brand new headlights on this 2011 Chevy Silverado. If you need headlights or parts for your vehicle, check out 1aauto.com.
We're going to open the hood. Right here, over near the foot rest, you can pull this lever. To release the safety, there is a little lever right here. You're going to slide it to the driver's side and lift up on the hood. Next we're going to remove these push clips. There's eight of them. They're right in these locations. Right here, here, and here. We're going to use a trim tool. You could use a flat blade screwdriver and pull up the center part, and then once the center's up, it's unlocked and you can pull it out. Do the same with the others. Once those are out, we can take this panel off. Just lift up.
Pull it out of your way. We're going to take these four ten millimeter bolts out. I'm going to use a ten millimeter socket and extension and a ratchet. Take that last one out. To pull this grille forward, I'm going to use some needle-nosed pliers. You need to take these clips and compress them, and then you can pull out on the grille. There's six of them. There's one there, one here and then there's one down here. So, you squeeze the clip, and pull out on the grille. Just like that. Right here and this one's already unsnapped and one more on the bottom here. Pull that out, and you can pull the grille straight-forward.
I'm going to turn the wheel to the left because I'm going to do the passenger side headlight. That gets the tire out of my way so that I can remove the fender well just enough so that I can access some of the bolts. Start the truck up and turn it to the left. So, there's a bolt that goes through the headlight right here that secures it. We need to access that, so I'm going to pull part of the inner fender well out. I'm going to use a ten millimeter socket and a ratchet, and I'm going to take this bolt out. Pull that one out, and then just to make it easier, I'm also going to take this seven millimeter bolt out. I'll use a seven millimeter socket and a ratchet.
Okay, I'm going to grab this side of the inner fender well. Just pull it out a little bit, and we're going to access this bolt right here. I'm going to use a ten millimeter ratchet wrench. You can use a socket and a ratchet, but it's a little difficult to get in there. It's a little bit tight. I'm just going to loosen this up. It is slotted, so you do not have to take it out completely. The headlight is slotted. Just loosen that a little bit.
Next we're going to take these two ten millimeter bolts out. Use the ten millimeter socket, extension and ratchet. I'll take this one out as well. Now we're going to grab the headlight from down below and up top. I'm just going to slide it forward. I'm going to push down on the headlight a little bit. Maneuver it out on the top part first while you push down. It's a little bit tricky. You've got to maneuver it a little bit. So, you want to push down on the headlight so that we can slide this part out. Then the headlight will slide out this way. To disconnect the electrical connector, you can grab this and slide this out. There may be a little lock tab on here, so you may have to slide that off first but then there's a button right here. Push down on the button. Slide the connector off. Pull the headlight assembly out.
Here's our old headlight assembly. Here's our new headlight assembly from 1aauto.com. As you can see, the shape is the same; the general layout of the light assembly is the same. If we look to the back, the mounting positions are the same, these little pins. This slot. This adjuster is in the same location. You do need to swap over the light bulbs and the harness assembly. We'll move that over in a second. Get yours at 1aauto.com and you'll be ready to rock 'n' roll.
Before we install the new headlight assembly, we're going to transfer this wiring harness and light bulbs over to the new one. I'm going to take a Phillips head screwdriver. I'm going to loosen up right here. We're not going to take it out completely, just got to be able to get the harness out of the way. Same with this one right here. Once that's out of the way, then we can take the light bulbs. Twist it counter-clockwise. Same with this one, counterclockwise and this one. You want to make sure you don't touch the bulbs on these, because the oils in your hand will make the bulbs burn out faster. I'll set that aside.
We'll go to the new headlight assembly. Just going to take some needle-nosed pliers and remove these little covers that keep the dust out. Pull that off. Remove those. That's fine like that. I'll take these two bulbs, this one without the gray top on it is the high beam, that's going to go in the lower section. Line that up and turn it to the right and this one, the low beam, we'll install right here. Line that up, and turn it to the right. Take the wiring harness. You need to loosen up these two hold downs to get the harness in position. Once that's in position, move to the other one. Loosen that one. Going to slide it on, and we can snug this back down.
You can kind of see where the general location was for where the harness was. Snug that down. Take this light, and then turn it to the right and this one, get it in position. Turn it to the right. Then we can take this connector, so lock in right there. Now you're ready to install your headlight assembly.
Next, we're going to install this headlight assembly. We're going to connect the wiring connector. Slide that one. If you had that locked, you're going to want to push that back down. This is where that slotted position is for the assembly and that bolt, you can take that bolt out, it's just easier to leave it in. Now we'll just slide this down. Make sure that part goes in a little bit. Push down.
Then there's these two tabs that are going to go into these two holes right there. You want to line those two tabs up. Once those are lined up, we can put our two ten millimeter bolts in up top. You're going to want to use some force and push the headlight assembly in so that you can get these two bolts in up top and snug this one down. Remember, when you're snugging these bolts down, it is in plastic so you don't want to tighten it too much.
Next, I'm going to snug this bolt up. I'm going to use my fingers first to get it started, then I'll use my ten millimeter ratchet wrench and snug it up. You can use a regular wrench, it's just easier to use a ratchet wrench if you have one available. Right, that's nice and snug. Now we can re-position this inner fender well.
Then we're going to install this seven millimeter bolt right here. We'll snug it up with our seven millimeter socket and ratchet. Next, we'll install this ten millimeter bolt right here. We'll snug it up with our ten millimeter socket and ratchet.
We're going to install the grille. These are the clips that hold the grille on, right here. Let's line those up. Once you see that they're all lined up, you can push on the grille and we'll push on the grille. It'll lock in place and we can push a little bit more to get the bolt holes to line up. Install these four bolts. Once we get those bolts in, we'll snug them down.
Next, we'll install this cover. Make sure it lines up with the holes for the push clips. Take the eight push clips and push them back in.
To adjust your new headlights, there is an adjuster right here. You're going to use a six millimeter Allen when you insert it. Turn it to the right. The headlight is going to go down. If you turn it to the left, the headlight's going to go up. Close the hood. This is a basic tutorial on how to aim the headlights on your vehicle. Find the axis of your headlights. This is usually indicated with a small dot or the headlight bulb size on the lens, if not, it's the actual center point of your headlight bulb. Transfer this mark to a vertical wall with a preferably dark color that will allow you to back up 25 feet. Pull up and find the center line of your vehicle as well as the center line of your headlight axis. Mark the wall with the height of the headlights and a straight line going across at that axis height.
Back your vehicle up 25 feet from the wall to the front edge of your vehicle's headlights. Turn your headlights on and locate the adjusting screw, usually on the backside of your headlights. You'll want to rotate this until the passenger hotspot or focus of the beam is approximately two inches below the line and the driver's side is four inches below the line. We changed the heights on each side so you can still get a good beam to the offside of the road on the passenger side and have the driver's side low enough to not blind oncoming traffic.

Head light set is great! Thank You 1A Auto!
Fitment was fine delivery was fine it was all fine Just had to figure out how to set them up
Still working today and I purchased these three years ago.
You get what you pay for with third world country construction materials. In just 6 months, one of the lights filled with moisture and the electrolysis ate the chrome off the plastic. I had to order another set.
Bought a pair of this headlight within 2 months had moisture in light on passenger side. Exchanged for second pair it took about 6 months same issue. And if I try to leave a 1 star review this site will not let the review go through so I did the 5 star just to get the review out.
I have not installed the lights yet.....I did get the low beam/high beam bulbs after going 2 different locations.....the side marker/turn signal bulbs were a joke to obtain also.....some locations I tried did not have them in stock.....not kidding ! Once the new assemblies are installed ,I have to adjust the light beam pattern........
The headlights look great and fit absolutely perfectly! The instruction video was incredibly helpful, too. Popping the grill off my Silverado was a pain in the rear end, but once that was off, removing the old headlights was a snap, and the new ones fit like a glove. As tight of a fit as the headlights are, I kind of expected to wrestle with the installation, but they popped right in with no trouble at all. I didn't read how dim my old headlights had gotten because of the yellow clouding (and NOTHING worked to remove it). It's nice to have a brightly lit road again at night!
Everything worked out great. Good instructions Parts fit well well.
Great pre-sale support. Videos and email documents sent so I would know exactly the steps to take when undertaking this project. Clearly spelled out warranty and return policy if needed. No after sales support needed since there were no issues. I would use 1A Auto again.
Instructions was great. First time I've done something like this. Only took 90 minutes, enjoyed every minute
Dont remember but fit good
