Aftermarket Headlights??

Just bought some aftermarket headlights. Easiest way to disassemble the front to replace the new bulbs with the old bulbs?

Disassemble the fronts? Do you mean the lens? Or how the lamps come off the truck? The bulbs go behind the headlamps, and the lamps are help on by three 10mm bolts.

I think he means - he purchased some aftermarket 'light bulbs' and wants to know how to remove the headlights to install the new bulbs.

- remove plastic screw and flap cover to the inside of the headlamp
- remove the (3) 10mm screws and yank hard
- twist out the light bulb and replace

I believe you have to take the whole assembly out to replace the bulb, but it is only 3 bolts on each lamp and you have to move the liner also but it can just be unhooked with the tab screws and then simply moved over
