I work for Auto Zone and obviously install a ton of headlight bulbs. For some reason I cant figure out how to put the driver side in. The Passenger side was easy, due to the fact there was no coolant resevoir in the way. On the drivers side, however, I cant fit my hands in and I cant figure out how to pull the entire headlight out either. On my Mustang you just pulled the metal inserts out and the headlight housing would just come out, but on the L those damn headlight adjuster look like they are in the way or something. Also, with my cobra fogs, I could just turn the bulb and pull, but on the L I turn and they wont pull out. I have both sets of silver stars, some one help me put these in!!!

Headlights:

Find the black tabs (2) above each headlight. Push them slightly back towards the cab of the truck, then pull up. They should move up about 3/4".

*****Place masking tape on painted surface below each headlight so you do not scratch the paint when you pull the headlight out and push it back in.. *********

Gently slide the headlight forward out of the truck. You may need to push it out from behind a little.

When the headlight is fully out, disconnect the plug from the bulb. The headlight should now be completely free of the truck.

There is a large plastic ring surrounding the lamp. Rotate it counter-clockwise to remove it. It takes very little effort so be careful.

Once the ring is removed, remove the bulb from the headlight housing by pulling it directly out. It will give you some "rubbery" resistance - wiggling it slightly helps. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB!

Insert the new bulb into the headlight housing. There are grooves and tabs that need to line up. Again, DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB.

Replace the plastic ring and reattach the plug.

Carefully replace the headlight assembly back into the truck. You may need to move the alignment bolts around a bit to get them back into the holes. (This will be apparent once you're doing it.)

Make sure the rubber grommets are all the way inside their mounting holes, then slide the two black levers down into place.

Check headlight aim when done.....

I paid $20 for them almost brand new (3 weeks old or so) and even got them installed for free. Anyway, they have worked great for me for almost 2 years now.
