    Hello All,

    First off, please forgive my newbness for the lack of terminology and the of the subject matter. Please view the following pictures

    My driverside headlight is out (including both low/high)
    I tried to pull, push and twist, twist the "bulb" out but wasn't successful...
    What I wanted to try to accomplish is seeing if my passenger side bulb would work in my driverside.

    1. How do I get the bulb off?
    2. What do I actually replace?
    3. Where do I order to replace?

    Again, my apologies if i'm not asking the right questions and hopefully the pictures will help out...

    Thanks in advance.

    Extra:
    I purchased the truck with these on.
    If further pictures are needed, please don't hesitate to request
    If further clarification is needed, please don't hesitate to request

    Should be a twist lock........ Holding base and turning a collar (plastic).

    Don't touch bulbs glass section for future reference..... Use nitrile gloves and or handle strictly by the base or collar.

    @Justus I'll pop the hood today and attempt to twist off. Thanks

    @mattvivsound Appreciate the advice.. I'll see what I can do temporary wise then see about upgrading. Thanks for the read as well!
