Removing Headlight...
ok so last night i was driving along and stoped at a intersection behind a truck, and i got distracted by a fine peice off *** and kinda eased off the brakes, and rolled right into the truck in front of me, thank god it only pushed in my headlight alittle and cracked a bit of paint, but anyway i was wondering how i take out my headlight so i can see if i broke any mounts and possibly fix/bend them back so my light sticks out right.

I'm not COMPLETELY sure, but it would be common sense for me to find the bolts that are holding the headlight housing to the frame, remove those, disconnect any wiring going to the housing, and remove the headlight itself. Again, I don't know for an absolute fact, but you might wanna try that first. At least the *** was good, right?? lol

Well it depends. I've never looked at a 99'-04' headlight assembly so I dont know about those. But I did remove my 98' headlights. Its pretty complicated and I wouldnt reccomend doing it unless you're going to replace it at the same time.

Just pull the two pins on the back of the light. Then it should be able to come loose and slide out a little bit. Disconnect the headlight by twisting the connector on the back of the casing, and pop out the whole assembly. Remember not to let the bulb touch your hands, or anything else for that matter. Inspect the area for damage, then just reverse the process to put the light back in. Any q's pm me.

Its not complicated at all to remove 94-98 headlights. All you have to do is pull out the bulb, and squeeze the push pins and pull it out.

on 99-04 its the most easy thing you will ever do. there are 2 black pins on the back. pull them up and out and the headlight pops right out.
