ok guys im trying to remove my headlights so i can install my new bulbs and i cant get them off..is there a trick something im not doing? Please help me asap!!

 

ok i got them off...NOW i dont know if it takes skill or magic to put them back in..cause for the life of me they wont go back in..it seems like they dont even fit...argggggggggghhhhhh...help

 

make sure you are keeping those black tabs pulled up in the back, and also start with the side with one pin first

 

finished...well that was a pain the the azz but i got the job done.

 

ok now it's night time and now the left headlight is lower than the right one...the right one looks spot on but the left is at like the ground..does anyone know how to fix this problem and adjust the height of the beam w/o taking them out again????

 

if you don't have a really long plier to twist the headlight nut, you have to take it back out and twist the little black things on the headlight...3 are three.

I hate our headlight mounts.

 

is that little black thing you twist on the side of the headlight???

 

anyone know exactly what bolt or pin on our headlight is to make an adjustment??

 

If you want to bring the light straight up, do the side with two studs on it, twist the bottom one out (Loosen) one full turn, and the top one in (tighten) and then see how it is, a small adjustment on those studs makes a big difference on the light pattern 40' out infront of the truck.

But before you go playing with the studs, make sure all of the studs are showing through the long black tabs

 

Well,if you didnt move the adjusters then you might not have gotten the lights seated all the way back in.Pull the headlight back out and slow down a bit.Look at the white adjuster nut and youll see where the metal clip should slide onto.The when you put it in make sure the clip slides onto those grooves and you should be ok.

 

The tool on the bottom is the easiest thing to adjust headlights with... I used long neednose pliers...

I've never had my head lights out but now I do have to chg them out.

I can't find a definite "How-To" for the R & R ?

Do I pull those 2 sliding tabs in the back and it'll come out the front or what???

 

Yep!

 

I'm currently trying to fit a set of JDM projector/halo lights which
have the turn signal light all in one and it's turning into a nightmare.
If the grill was off they would just fall in place but then the grill screws
would be behind the light unit ? Oh well got 5 hours or so free Today
so will give it another shot.

 

Well took the grill off just to see if they do fit but I dont think they will.
Wont sit back far enough as the main bulb holder hits the backplate likewise
with the indicator housing that wont clear the alignment bracket either.
Dont want to start cutting bits out the front of the truck though. Anyone
ever fitted a pair of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-03...spagenameZWDVW

If so how the hell did you get em on ??????
