My Ram blew out the drivers bulb lastnight..Went to get some new bulbs..$100.00 cdn later I have 2 new bulbs. The silverstar by sulvainia. Anyway I get home to change them out on my 08 ram and WTF?? How is this done? Do I seriously need to send my truck to a shop to change out the headlights? Any help folks would be nice..

 

If it's like the 2004 there ain't much room on that side. I think you need to remove wheel liner for access.

 

I hope your not right...lol. I have access to the bulbs under the hood but how do you get the wire harness off and lightbulb out?

 

Do you have that grey **** that twists off?

 

phew....Its done!! I answered my own question..There wasn't a grey ****. I could see where the bulb went in the headlight. I just twisted it and it popped right out. I then undid the little red lock on the wire and pulled the bulb out of the harness. I had a hard time getting the new bulb in though..As it turns out there is a little orange neoprene round seal that has to come out. The sulvainia bulbs have their own seal. As soon as I removed the seal the new bulb popped right in..Took all of 30 seconds to do both sides once I figures it all out..

 

Do the bulbs really cost 50 bucks each up in Canada?

 

Yup. Rip off!

 

Yup, did mine a month ago...2 minutes to figure out how to get the old ones out...almost an hour to figure out the old o ring was stuck in the assembly and thus the new silver stars would not go back in... And them 30 seconds to get the new ones in after pulling the dang o ring. What a pain in the butt that ended up being! Glad you got it figured out. It wasn't till one of mine accidentally fell out while trying to get the bulb in for the what seems like the 20th time that I even knew there was an o ring stuck on the assembly.

 

dealers both US and CN are rip offs

 

I just reached down in there and swapped them out when I installed my Silverstars. It's tight but no big deal.
