Owners of other General Motors vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac and Holden such as the Sonic, Spark, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Bolt, Camaro, Corvette, Trax, Equinox, Blazer, Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse, Colorado, Silverado, Express, TrailBlazer, Encore, Regal TourX, Envision, Enclave, LaCrosse, Cascada, Sierra, Canyon, Acadia, Terrain, Yukon, Savana, XT4, XT5, XT6, Escalade, CT5, CTS-V, XTS, CT6, ATS, Astra and Commodore may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement light bulb part numbers are as follows: Low & High Beam Headlight Bulb # 9005 and Front Turn Signal # 7444NA.

If you would like to have brighter lights that will also last a lot longer before burning out, install some 9005 LED headlight bulbs and amber colored front turn signal 7444NA LED bulbs.

Please check the part numbers on your old bulbs before purchasing new parts or use the Amazon Part Finder website to verify the correct bulbs for your car's model year and trim level.

No tools are required to access any of the bulbs in either the driver side or passenger side headlight housings.

You may need a flat head screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool to pull back a stubborn plastic retaining clip on the headlight bulb electrical connectors.

The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the side of the car with the burnt out headlight bulb.

Squeeze together the two tabs on the rear edge of the air intake tube (attached to the engine air filter box).

Pull the rear of the air intake tube off the air box and lift the front edge out of the front of the engine bay near the radiator.

Set the black plastic air intake tube aside in a safe place.

(For easier access to the bulbs in the driver side headlight housing, pull the windshield window wiper fill tube straight out of the engine bay.)

Set the dust cover aside in a safe place.

If you have trouble disconnecting the power plug, use a plastic pry bar tool or a flat head screwdriver to gently pull back the retaining clips on the electrical connector before sliding it straight off.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) low / high beam headlight bulb in this 2018 Cruze LT was a Sylvania 9005 12V 60W.

Your Cruze might have a different bulb part number depending on the market (North America, Europe, South America, Etc.), the model year or the trim level.

Please check your old light bulbs before purchasing new ones.

If you do get the new bulb dirty, wipe it clean with a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol.

Any dirt or grease on the new bulb will cause a hot spot which could lead to the bulb failing prematurely.

If you would like to upgrade your headlights to a brighter bulb that will also last much longer before burning out, install some compatible replacement 9005 LED bulbs.

Install the new 9005 bulb straight into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction to secure it into place.

You should feel or hear the power plug "click" securely into place.

Reach in behind the headlight assembly and rotate the front turn signal bulb socket 1/4 turn in the counterclockwise direction.

Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket.

If you have trouble removing the old light bulb due to rust or debris, try gently wiggling the bulb back and forth while pulling it straight out.

Please avoid using excessive pressure on the old light bulb to prevent from having the glass break and cut your fingers.

Wipe off any grease, oil or dirt from the new bulb with a paper towel or a micro fiber cloth.

If you would like to have brighter front turn signal lights, install some compatible replacement 7444NA LED bulbs.

Re-insert the bulb socket into the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction to secure it into place.

Lower the rear edge of the air intake tube into the mounting bracket on the engine air filter box.

Push on the rear edge until you feel or hear the two retaining clips "click" securely into place.

Be sure to write down the light bulb change in your vehicle's service records.
