DIY Headlight UPGRADE: 200% Brighter Bulbs Install Guide for Beginners

Transform your night driving experience with this easy-to-follow headlight upgrade tutorial! In this video, I'll show you how to replace your factory headlight bulbs with Calibre H4 200% brighter bulbs for dramatically improved visibility on the road.

Even if you're not mechanically inclined, this project is totally doable - I'll walk you through each step, from removing the plastic guides (and dealing with heat-damaged ones) to properly handling and installing the new bulbs without touching the glass.

You'll see a side-by-side comparison of the original vs. upgraded headlights, and the difference is impressive! I also share a quick story about saving my trusty Leatherman from super glue disaster using dimethyl sulfoxide - a handy tip for your own toolkit emergencies.

The whole process takes about 30 minutes, and as I mention, "If I can figure it out, you can figure it out." Perfect for van dwellers, road trippers, or anyone wanting better visibility for safer night driving without expensive garage bills.
