I sometimes see people pop a Head Light out at the track
for better air flow to the filter.

Is this an easy task ?
Any pictures ?
Any opinions ?

 

yeah its easy, there should be two pieces of metal that hold it in, sorta. Open the hood and look for two small tabs connected to a decently long rod. You know what ill take a pic for ya.

 

Where the red arrow's are pointing to the pull tab's (green for your viewing pleasure at home) just pull them (if they have never been pulled they will have dust build up, so might be harder the first time) once they are pulled, you can then disconnect the wireing harness and pull out the lamp assembley!

 

Put a piece of masking tape entirely across the
front fascia piece below the light so you won't
scratch it with the swiveling attachment when
you put it back in ... (Don't ask HOW I know this
little factoid!!!)

 

bollicks, beat me to it, good thing tho, my roommate left the usb cable for my camera at work.

 

 

don't forget to pop out the signal lens first.(held in with a screw) On my 01 lightning this was neccesary to "pop" out the larger lens.

 

Don't touch the bulbs more than you have to. The oils on your hand cand mess them up and lessen the bulb life. Also your headlights may get out of line when you put them back in.

 

oh i spelled it wrong, i dont think ive ever written it before, i meant "bollocks"

Oh yeah i think your supposed to wipe your bulbs with rubbing alcohol on a cloth before you reinstall em.

 

Rob,
Try this at home first, mine was a bish to put back in.

 

WOW thanks everyone
Great Pic Phillip
(I wouldn't have thought they were the clips)
and Thanks for the Masking tape trick KY,
Scratches on Black look real schitty

I'll give it a try this weekend at home and see how it goes

 

This modification really won't help you at all.... there is a big coolant resevoir right behing the headlight. This idea really works well on Mustangs though. For the effort it takes to get the headlight BACK IN, I wouldn't even bother messing around with this.
By the way, you do not have to take the side marker lights out. The headlight housings can come out on their own - no tools required. They are a nightmare to get back in... I rememeber sitting in the driveway trying to get all the alignment posts lined up so that it could go back in...... what a mess.
