Avoid tickets and accidents with both working headlights! New bulbs are much brighter too
White light when you back up - yup, they burn out and you can replace them with bright LEDs
If you have an electrical component that doesn't work, try replacing the fuse first

Where is the battery located in a Chevrolet Avalanche?
The video above shows you how to replace the battery in your 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. We recommend changing the battery in Chevrolets every 4 years. Although some batteries last much longer, most batteries begin breaking down chemically after four years, so you could experience dimmer headlights and other negative effects before you have a dead battery in your Avalanche that you need to replace.
The battery location in a Chevrolet Avalanche can typically be found in the engine bay, but may be in the trunk, fender or inside of the vehicle. You may need to remove the air filter housing, a plastic engine cover or parts of the cowl to find the battery in your Avalanche. See exactly where the battery is located in your 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche.
Replacing the battery in your Avalanche involves removing the terminals. When you reconnect the terminals, your radio presets are likely to be cleared out. In some Avalanches, you may need to re-enter a security code to get your radio to work again. Check for this code in your owners manual - it will usually be either a sticker or small card in the booklet. If you can't find it, call Chevrolet and they will give you the code for free. In many Chevrolets, the transmission "learns" how you drive over time and makes adjustments, so you may experience altered driving dynamics as your car re-learns your driving style after changing the battery.
