Default DIY driverside headlight change Durango 3rd Edition 2014 Limited

Hey gang, anyone with a 2014 or newer had to chage their headlightds themselves? I searched online and can't find the proper fix. ONce says to go in through the filter box under the hood...another says go under the wheel area and go in from the bottom. ANyone have a link or somehting that may be helpful? Thanks in advance!!!

Are you looking to replace the entire headlamp assembly, or just the bulb?

I hope it's easy to replace just the bulb rather than the whole assembly. I clicked on the link above and nearly pooped myself. I had the right turn signal bulb replaced recently by dealer. Figured it was easier that way. Though I would like to replace my front headlight bulbs when they go bad. On my Nissan it was a piece of cake. Reach into engine bay - quarter turn plastic nut - remove whole assy. twist out bulb - replace bulb and then quarter turn later you are done. Is this as easy on the Durango?

Do you have standard halogen bulbs or the factory self-leveling HID Xenon bulbs?

With the standard halogen (which I recently updated to LED bulbs) in my 2011 it's pretty easy. There's an access door in the wheel well liner that takes about a 1/4 turn to remove, then most people should be able to fit their hand and part of their arm in to the cavity to access the bulb.

Hey sorry for having such a late response, it's just to replace the bulb.
