Re: Phamtom Grills
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.

Re: Phamtom Grills
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. |

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

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

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

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