Head lamp replacement

[ARodmarauder]

Need to know how to replace the head lamps. Not the bulbs but that actual assembly. First time I tried I broke part of my grill. TIA

remove the top radiator cover remove/or lossen the 2 bolts that hold the corner light in and reove the wing nuts on the headlight the whole assembly will come out unplug the bulb

Never saw wing nuts retaining the headlight assemblies........

There are no wingnuts...and there are three bolts.

I did this two weeks ago. Used the search engine and found a few threads with simple directions.

Removed the plastic cover over the radiator. Removed the top grille screws and loosened the grille. Removed a nut holding the corner lights to loosen them. Then removed the 3 bolts holding the headlight bucket and wiggled it out.

There's a mod shown in other threads to make r&r easier the next time.

Good luck.

Yeah I tried looking for threads but didn't find anything. I must of not looked it up correctly. Now how about the grill? Do you remove that by loosening the bolts on the header panel? I'm going to have to replace it since I broke it trying to remove the head lamps

I just tried to find it again and couldn't find it. Got lucky the first time I guess. I believe there were 6 small screws/bolts along the back of the grille on the top attaching the grille to the header.

Might want to contact RF Overlord. I think he's had to replace it before.

Also attached bucket mod pics attributed to fastblackmerc.
