Default Headlight removal

I just got my truck a few days ago and decided I want to tint the headlights but can't figure out how to remove the headlights/corner lights. Any imputs or quick tips on the fastest way to do so??

Welcome to DF.

You may have to compress them slightly to get them to squeeze out between the fenders and the front bumper. Some even have to loosen the front bumper to get them out. There are three bolts holding the housings in, don't forget to disconnect the bulb itself so you don't yank on those, and don't try to unbolt the alignment screws.

I removed mine 3 years ago ago and they're pretty simple. I just looked for fasteners and pulled what I saw pretty much. If I remember right there's one below the corner lights that you gotta pull and you should be able to pull the light straight out. The headlight might have a fastener holding it in as well but I can't remember. Pretty much just look for any fastener in that area that's attached to the headlight bracket and pull em. There's 3 pieces total headlight, corner light, and then mount bracket. Have fun, should be easy.
