    I was very hesitant at first but let me tell ya for those a little nervous about the process. This was one of the easiest things I have done to my truck. The hardest part is reaching that third bolt under the fender to take the headlights out. The rest is a piece of cake.

    Looks great. I need to take the plunge as well, just hesitant with throwing my only pair of headlights into the oven.

    Looks good and you're right, the hardest part is actually just building up the nerve to do it and that third bolt.

    I did it to the 2011 but still haven't decided if I want to fuck with the 13. It looks good but there isn't as much of a bezel to paint as the 2011 so it wouldn't be quite as dramatic.

    If I do it I'll end up doing a full retro and probably paint them to match my taillights.

    If you don't want to bake your lights. You can use a hair dryer. That's what I did takes a little bit more time, but worked the same as baking it.

    I like the bhlm or the all black retro look on these trucks.
    Nice work OP
