If you are just replacing bulbs, you do not have to remove the light housing, only the socket in the back of the housing, accessed from under the hood.

there is no need to remove the light housing ....the bulbs are removed from the rear side of the light.
screw on collar and spring clip are all that need to be releases on the back.

as mentioned.... this applies to bulb replacement applications only.

Yeah it's easier to do with the housing out but it's still in no way difficult with the housing still in the truck.
