This week I replaced my headlamps. No not the headlight bulbs, the entire
headlamp assembly.
My lenses were shattered so I needed to replace them.
To pull your headlights out however, you must first remove your grill, and to remove your grill, you must first remove your .... bumper. Yes that’s right, in order to swap out my headlamps I had to remove what felt like the entire front end of my Expy!
I miss the good old days when swapping bulbs was as simple as reaching down and popping the cap off or pulling a headlight was all of 2 bolts and a good tug.
There are 3 bolts connecting the bumper corners to the front fenders, you’ve gotta go in behind your fender liner (which is straight up sound deadening carpet btw) undo those 3 bolts, do the same for the other side, give it a little pull and all the plastic guide pegs should pop out, disconnect your fogs and PDC coupler and that’s it. But unfortunately getting inside the fender lining to undo those first 3 bolts is deeply frustrating. Pull the bumper and that will expose 3 bolts across the bottom of the grill, undo them along with the 6 or so holding it in at the top and out it comes. Then your headlamps will only have 2 bolts remaining, one obvious one at the top and a second down low at the side. Bish bash bosh. Out come the headlamps. Wild.
Out in the desert you might want something more aggressive/tall.
