Headlight Removal, pics

Just use a plastic epoxy or glue. Nothing will hold it as if it had never broke, but if you only want it to appear as though it's doing its job then any epoxy should be just fine.

 

Yeah..it'll never be the same. Just don't want it "dangling" I guess. Thanks

 

What was the order you put the pieces back together? I did the mod but I found that I chipped alittle bit of paint outing the plastic piece (piece you paint) back into the clear lens.

 

JB weld fixes EVERYTHING!

wish i found this thread before i bought mine.

 

Thank you op! Just did it amd took like 45 minutes for everything. And my long lady arms didnt have to take fender covers off either!

 

So I'm super F'n pissed. I have to be missing something trying to follow these steps...so the top two bolts are gone, the outer bolt and clip/tab are gone. From here I'm tring to figure were to go next, I can't find out how or where to go next and the other directions just confused me. I tried to move onto the piece between the bumper and the light so I could possible see where to go next and I snapped the damn thing. So pissed me patched everything back up and now I'm taking a break to calm down...and end of rant.

Can anyone better explain this as I'm not understanding how in the pics the headlights are there on one step and the next step there gone...but mine are still on the damn truck..ok ranted a little more...HELP!

 

It's hard to actually see the 4th bolt. Have to feel for it unless you want to take your fender off.

In this pic that 4th bolt is attached to the mount sticking out in the lower left corner of the headlight. There is also another bolt next to it, make sure you have the right one. If you're headlight doesn't feel like it's loosening when loosening the bolt, you have the wrong bolt.

 

Thanks for the info replica, I think I'll save this job for next weekend...my Sunday is almost over here in italy

 

i too have dabbled with hydrogen generators with very little succes. (i got 23.5 mpg a couple times with is 1.5 more than i averaged at the time) i was just wondering if u had any luck with it and what ur's looked like on the inside if so. very nice lookin truck btw.

 

sub'd! Thanks for all the info

 

This is a great write up! I have to replace both of my headlamps because they are fogged up big time. I have a question though. I see that you have to remove the front grill to access some of the bolts. How do you remove it?

 

Two clips and two screws that you will see on the top of the grill. Then pull the grill straight up.

 

Oh okay. Thank you! Those were the only ones I was seeing but wasn't sure if there was other stuff that I wasn't.

 

That dang hidden screw is a bitch! Even knowing where it is and getting a wrench on it, it is still hard to get out. Not much hand/arm room. Took me an hour just to get one out today. Guess I'm retarded. Frustrated now....will wait till next weekend to tackle the other side.

 

Well the good news is that you don't really need to put it back in. The other 3 bolts will be enough to hold it in just fine.

 

So I just removed my passengers side headlight to do a headlight restoration. In the process, I noticed one thing. That pain in the but bolt that everyone mentions wasn't that bad to remove but I did something stupid before that. Right below it is a nut that is also 10mm that connects a body panel and it is a pain in the butt to remove. I spent a good hour trying to get the headlight out without any luck only to finally notice I had removed the wrong thing. At the risk of being goofed on, I thought I would share what happened so other who remove their headlights will avoid the same dilemma I was just in.

 

To the OP,

Thanks for this guide! I pretty much skimmed through and was able to guess my way through the real thing because of it! Thanks to you and those who post things like this.
