HELP! headlights

WildcaTaco · 03-13-2008, 08:28 PM

How do you get the actual headlight out of the truck???? I have the 4 bolts undone, and the everything disconnected but can't get the actual headlight out of the truck. I took off the lower peice of plastic beneath the headlight but not matter which way I twist, turn, or pull some part is preventing the headlight from getting out what the heck am I missing here? This is the jigsaw puzzle from hell!

all u should have to do is remove the grille and that plastic piece under it, remove the 4 bolts, the bulbs, and twist it out of there. if ur removing the drivers side, u should pull out and twist up and to the right...and up and to the left for the passengers side.its awkward taking them out and getting them back in

EDIT: or something like that....its been a while...lol
