Changing Headlight bulbs??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone changed out the headlight bulbs on the 2010 or 2011 trucks? I want to put new bulbs in mine and I am wondering about the passenger side. I have an airbox mounted there and I wonder if I am going to have to pull it or witll the headlight assembly come out. Any thoughts?

I got the bulbs in by going in from the back (engine compartment). On the model of truck that I have, I had to take out the battery tray on the driver's side and that let the windshield washer fill tube move enough that I could get to the bulbs from there. The passenger side, I had to take the top off of the air box and remove the filter.

To pull the headlights out from the front, looks as if you would have to remove some surround plastic for the grille.

Sometimes the modern stuff just is TOO much!

It runs like a bat out of H---, though.
