Headlight Removal/Replacement Bitch Session!

[TheGanzman]

did you do it with the front bumper on? when i did my HIDs, i pulled the front bumper and both headlights in 30 minutes

Yeah - I went through the driving light "holes" with a pivoting extension...

Hmm, I never had much of an issue with the headlights, and I have had them off quite a few times. Maybe that's why, heh.

Actually, I was thinking they built the truck around the thermostat, but maybe it's just the foxfires......
I need to replAce my headlight gaskets too. Was figuring on just popping them out, but after this threAd, thinking the removal of front cladding will make things easier.

They did. The thermo is the heart of the VX. It all has to start somewhere.

When I did mine I removed the front cladding. Was able to check on a few things with it off like rust on the front bumper. You could also do the side marker turn signal mod while it's off...

I did a write up that's in the How To section that might help you. It's in the Body Section and has helps on the gasket install as well as the cladding removal.
