    • Use the 10 mm socket wrench to unscrew the first of three 12 mm long 10 mm hex-head screws holding in the headlight assembly. The screw is located just to the left of the headlight assembly.

    • Unscrew the second screw located approximately 6 inches below the first.

    • Locate the third screw at the bottom left corner of the headlight assembly just behind the bumper and remove.

    • When re-installing the screws do not over tighten. Over tightening the screws will result in stripped threads.

    • Approach this step with the process of unbuttoning a shirt in mind.

    • Be careful if the rubber gasket is dry-rotted. Use vaseline to re-moisturize if necessary. Manipulating dry-rotted rubber will result in tearing.

    • Pinch the bottom of the rubber gasket at the left side of the assembly and remove it from the plastic "buttons" on the headlight assembly.

    Is there any kind of plastic screw/bolt keeping the assembly in? I removed all the bolts listed and the assembly still would not come out. What am I missing?

    • Locate the blue headlight wire. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry up one side of the clamping teeth and pull the connector off.

    • Locate the green turn signal wire clamp. Use a flathead screwdriver to push in the tab on the side and pull off the connector.

    • Now that all connections between the car and the headlight assembly are disconnected, it is safe to remove the headlight assembly from the truck.

    • Rotate the outer ring of the headlight bulb holder counterclockwise to remove it.

    • Carefully pull the headlight bulb holder out of its socket.

    • When installing a headlight bulb, do not touch the bulb with your bare skin. Wear gloves when installing a new headlight bulb. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to skin oils, and the bulb may burn out quickly if you touch the bulb during installation.

    • If you accidentally touch the bulb, clean it immediately using rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
