Got a chance to clean the truck up a bit today, beautiful weather down here in Texas. Also got into my next project, night runner head lights and tail lights. I'm also gonna get rid of that hideous chrome grill boarder. But anyway here's some before and after pics.

Didn't get to the headlights today, didn't feel like trying to pop those out today. ;p

 

i like the tail lights, i also noticed the tool box, great idea to turn it easier access

ps nice choice of drink

 

SO, question on removal of the headlight assembly. How do you do it? Haha. Is is as straight forward as the tails?

 

Removing headlight:

Remove 2 screws under headlight between bottom and bumper,
Remove 2 screws behind grill (behind rubber flap)
Grab headlight with both hands and pull STRAIGHT out as hard as you can .. it will pop free (there is a ball socket in the upper outside corner of the assembly holding it to the fender)

 

I only have on bolt under the headlight and the two next to the radiator. Either way durapu is correct..its simple. Your bumper should have an indent that allows a 10mm socket to slip between the headlight and bumper. Takes 15 minutes to swap them!

 

Well, I'm not swapping them out quite yet. thinking about painting them like the tails.

 

What kind of paint did you use on your tail lights? Looks clean, man!

 

Looks good man!

 

i always thought it was pointless to tint the headlights, defeating the purpose of headlights haha

 

but if he does around the light like he did the tails (around the refractor)then there will be no loss of light ..
