How do you remove the Headlights to replace the bulb on a 2GD? Thanks...

In the front wheel wells you'll see a panel. Remove the panel. That gives you access to the back end of a screw at the top of the headlight assembly. This screw is permanently attached to the top of the headlight assembly. I forget wat size wrench u need but its simple to remove the nut holding that screw in place. Just feel around with your hand. Then from the front of the truck under the headlight assembly are 2 screws you need to remove. Once you remove the 2 front screws and the one rear nut, carefully pry out the headlight assembly. It's stuck in there using a ball and joint connection. So just pull hard enough to pop the ball out of its socket. If pulling doesn't work, and for me it didn't, take a flathead screwdriver (wrap the flathead with a towel so you dont scratch the paint) and wedge it in between the top of he headlight assembly and the frame of the truck and use it to wedge out the headlight. Al in all, it takes about 5 minutes to remove the screws, nut and headlight assembly for just one side of the truck. Just remember not to pull so hard that you pull out all your cables if the assembly pops loose easily. I know it seems like a lot of instructions, but trust me, its so easy. I did it without removing the front wheels but some people do remove the wheels just to make it even easier to reach everything.

Thanks for the info. I will look over the weekend. Any idea as to what type of bulb that I can use other then stock to give better lighting or the blue look?

Better lighting you can go with the Sylvania Xtra-visions which are a touch brighter than stock. If you are looking for a bluish tint, your options are the cheapy tinted bulbs on e-bay or an HID conversion for 3 bills. That's about it for the H13.

Yeah, go with the sylvania's. Do not waste your money on Ebay bulbs of any kind. I did and they lasted about 2 months before one blew out. By the way, does anyone know why there would be water in one of my fog lamps? Will the entire fog lamp need to be replaced, or should it be left alone. The fog lightbulb still works but there's a slight haze in the lamp itself.

That seems to be the going reply concerning eBay. Anyone have the part number for the Sylvania?
I think there is a rubber gasket in between the glass and the casing that prevents moisture from entering inside the fog lamp. Not sure if you can just purchase the gasket or need to purchase an entire fog light.
Thanks for the info...
