well i just ordered a set of hids, and they should arrive monday. what all do i need to remove to get to the headlight bulbs or are they visible without removing anything. also any tips on how you did you hid install would be great to.

 

remove the top 4 bolts from the grille... pull the grill straight out.. (there are clips at the bottom.. just tug)... two bolts in the front on both headlights...

i removed some bolts from behind my lamps... i was told i didnt have too..

pretty easy really

 

exactly what Doc said. all of the bolts are 10mm. according to the FSM you do not need to take the grille off but it gives you more room to work.

 

i dunno who fsm is... but you need to take the grille off...

no way around it

 

FSM= Factory Service Manual

here is a quote from it




1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the four plastic push-in fasteners (1) that secure the upper radiator seal to the grille support and both fender ledges.
3. Remove the two plastic push-pin rivets (2) that secure the upper radiator seal to the radiator.
4. Remove the upper radiator seal from the vehicle.






NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the grille from the front of the vehicle to service the front lamp units. The illustration shows the grille removed only to assist in clearly identifying the locations of the front lamp unit mounting provisions.


5. Remove the screw (1) that secures the upper mounting tab of the front lamp unit (2) to the Front End Module (FEM) carrier (also known as the radiator closure) (4).
6. Using a socket with a magnetic insert or with a small piece of butyl tape inserted, reach down between the grille and the FEM carrier to access, remove and retrieve the screw (3) that secures the lower mounting tab of the front lamp unit.

 

ok i removed the 4 bolts at the grill and the grill, and the 2 headlamp bolts, but i cant figure out how to get the lamps out. It says it the owners manual about a space behind the front wheel which i did open but i cant see the retaining clip there talking bout or how to free the headlights up. when i pull there in there tight and wont budge. anyone know about those retaining clips, or is there something else im missing

 

ok nevermind i got it, theres a white clip behind the headlight i had to push up to remove them i just couldnt find it at first...got it now

 

big mistake though lol, the website i got them from had 09 dodge ram as h11 bulbs, so thats what they sent me...... but i have the dual headlight so i need the h13 kit....anyone interested in a h11 hid kit???

 

just out of curiosity..... what kit did you get and how much do you want for them. Just ordered a H11 and H10 for my Ram but H11 also fits my 07 GMC Sierra..

 

vvme.com they cost me like 67 with shipping i will sell them for 60 shipped ...have had these in my other vehicle and still going strong after 3 years
