Default Changing the Left Headlight bulb

Does anyone know how to change the left side of my 2004 5.7 Quad Ram? The right side headlight is not a problem, but the fuse box is in the top of the left side headlight, do I have to remove the fuse box to change the bulb? Any suggestions?
Thanks

As a certified dodge tech I can tell you it will make life much easier if you do just take out the headlight assembly to change that bulb

Hi Slaywick, Can you reach the headlight assembly from the inside, near of the fuse box, or you have to go under the truck, and remove it from there? thanks

yeah the right one was easier than the left when i changed my headlights to the sylvanias. between the top of the bumper and bottom of the HL assembly is where your socket should fit. just pull the whole thing out. goodluck

its a little more safer to open, pull the whole assembly out instead of trying to snake ur arm through, i snaked in a set of bright high blue headlights and my pinky barely grazed the one light and it busted the second i turned it on the headlight, ruined the pasenger light assembly, but luckly i went in and dissasembled the headlight assembly to clear corner my headlights and now they are pimped out chrome, sorry for the long post

I went in through the front with a socket driver to remove the entire assembly. Just lay down a towel on the bumper so you won't scratch it.

Yup. Did mine lst weekend. If you lay under the drivers side and reach up, you can grab it very easily. Only took my two minutes.

If you look in your owners manual it shows you how to change it
