To change the headlight bulb on the GMC Acadia, start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery located under the rear seat mats. Remove the right front wheel well by taking out the clips (lift the clip and remove it with pliers) and unscrewing the bolts with a T20 Torx wrench.

After removing the wheel well, turn the headlight bulb cap a quarter turn to remove it, release the clip that holds the bulb in place, and take out the bulb by disconnecting the connector. To install the new bulb, reverse the steps taken during disassembly.
