Silverstar install?

Loooks like just a couple of bolts to get to it.

Any tips on installing my H13's.

Did a search. Not much...

One push plug to remove the air dam material... two 9mm (?) bolts and the light will snap off after releasing a little 'snap' latch (you'll see it once you tug and it doesn't move). Click/Click (that's the bulb change). Reinstall. It's cake. Should take a person who hasn't handle a wrench no longer than 5 minutes.

There are 3 bolts holding the headlight in. 1 is on the top then the other 2 are on the inside side of the light behind the rubber cover. You are going to have to use a little force to pull out the headlight. There is a clip behind the side marker. So just pull the headlight straight out to the front of the truck.

Unless you don't have your sockets organized like me. Took me longer to find a 9mm socket than to replace the bulbs. :o

Doesn't hurt to have someone with small hands around.

One more important point- DO NOT touch the glass part of the bulbs. The tiny bit of oil your skin will leave on the glass leads to a hot spot and early bulb failure.
