Holy cow, that's a tough one! I usually take my grille off and put in a new light bulb, hopefully that will work for you. I'm looking at trying the Euro bulbs and do the changing from the rear.

Ha Ha Thanks
Headlights do burn out eventually, especially if it's a daily driver and you work late into the evening, and use them almost daily. I was thinking of buying a truck that had one already installed, and just got to wandering about that.

Can you get your hand in there to clean the headlight? That would drive me crazy if I couldn't....:crazy:

My lights stay fairly clean and if they do need cleaning, I then take my scrub mitt and the fibres reach in easily.

i use to have an '80 chevy pickup and when the headlight went out i just kicked it or hit it....but i dunno....i think you have to pull the motor out to change the headlights don't you??? or was that the tranny you have to pull instead of the motor.....:crazy:



OH HEY!!! have you checked your blinker fluid....sometimes that can cause the headlights to not work:bs:

Just throw the new bulb at the grille, it will fit in sometime and automatically change itself.

Take it from me you have to remove the grill. on another not has anyone figured out a better way to hold headlights in other then those little screw into plastic pieces of crap. They keep breaking...

Re: Phantom Grills
 
I don't know, never had one break before---I have had the truck for 14 years.
