SOURCE: How do I replace a lowbeam headlight bulb on a 2008 GMC Acadia

You will have to go through your mud guards. Remove your tire, and look inside your wheel well, you will see two part mud guard, front half and back half. Just remove the 7 screws from the front half, 5 on the wheel well itself, and two on the bottom, retaining screw to the bumper, now depending on which side you're looking at anywhere from 5-7 plastic pop-its. Use a flat tip screw driver to loosen the pins up, then remove the pop-it studs. There are two on the bottom front that connect to the vehicle frame. Once this is removed, you can access your headlight assemby to replace both bulbs. Note, you will have to do this to replace your fog light bulb should it go out as well.

SOURCE: How do you change the halogen bulb in the

under the hood there will be a large, plastic weather cover to unscew by hand, remove the 3 pin connecting plug, there will be a spring loaded clip holding in the globe, depress the looped end and divert it over to one side thsi will release the globe, assembly is in reverse, be careful as not to touch the end og the globe, as the oil on your fingers are detremental to its operation. No special tools required to do this. Good luck

The front bumper cover has to come off to remove the headlight assembly! Yes, sounds very stupid, but it's the truth. The parking light on mine went out, hours later it was fixed. If you have the HID headlights you might have to replace the entire assembly.

Changing the headlights. Do you need to remove the front bumper???

Hi, viewers! For the 2008 Acadia headlights replacements, standard procedures require removal of the front bumper fascia for ease of movement and effective replacement or repair jobs. But in actual practice, this isn't always so. As much as we can manage, we dont have to reach to that point of bumper removal unless absolutely necessary. The alternative approach will require some patience and wits to work your way around ,as fast and as effective as possible. Practice makes perfect as they say. : )

How to change your headlamp in a 2008 gmc acadia

Open the hood and look in the area behind the headlight itself. You will see the wires running in to the light through a collar. Turn the collar counter clockwise and remove the assembly. Remove the bulb and plug in the new bulb and reverse the process to replace.

How do you change the front parking light (inside the headlight bezel) on a 2008 GMC Acadia?

I believe you will need to open hood. At the top of the headlamp will be a small bar used as a pin to hold the headlamp assembly. Slightly turn and pull out. Be sure to hold the headlight as it may just fall out. Once you move headlight to side you should have easy access to parking break.
