Headlight WONT come out

watched youtube on how to replace headlight and seems to be one bolt left that won't let me release light. They did mention one through wheel well seems like that may be the one but
Unable to see.they did it on an earlier model that you were able to pull back away from quarter
Panel and get at last bolt mine 2011 is more of a hard
Plastic.

 

There is a bolt your not seeing, if you are facing the front of your truck, it is on the bottom right corner of the right headlight, and bottom left corner of the left headlight... it is a pain to get to, but you can leave them off so next time it will be easier, here is a decent writeup:

Yup this applies to the 2012-2015 headlights too. Same thing I had to do to my headlights when I switch over to the TRD Pro headlights. However I did put that nut back on though.

 

Hey thanks for the info I DID get it out. It had a lot of water in it which was making the light foggy . Some of the plastic clips from front to back of light don't line up and clip together. Is this possibly my source of water leakage ? Because with the adhesive seal I am unable to slide it over so all snaps work correctly. I got the water out and drying in lawn should I reinstall but I figure I didn't change anything so it'll
Just leak and fog up again. I priced lights and about 100 bucks.

 

I will pull out of box to check if all clips line up but how did it not leak prior it's 6 years old. Maybe previous owner installed. New ones.

 

It sounds like you may be saying that you have separated the headlight lens from the housing to dry it out? If that is the case it can be hard to get all of the "snaps" to secure again.. If you don't plan on opening the headlight again, you can get some clear silicone and run a bead around the seal, using a finger to work the silicone into the seal..

If you did not split the lens from the housing, you should be able to dry out the headlight by just removing all of the bulbs and running a fan over it for a few hours in direct sunlight.
