This is my first post, great site, I've been reading this forum for sometime now, lot's of good info.
My question is, what's the trick to remove the headlight assembly? I removed the three bolts and the little plastic screw, it's loose but I can't remove it from the fender, it seems to bind and it's not the wireing holding it.

 

I removed mine to install the Sylvania Silverstar lamps and had the same problem you speak of. Get a flashlight and look at the top of the lamp assembly. There are some small tabs that are catching on the metal fender above the headlamps. With a flashlight you should see the problem. Hope this helps...

 

Out of the manual.

 

I did mine today in like 15 min. Did them from underneth while on a creaper.
I have a 2x4 if that makes a difference. Maby the 4x4s have a splash pan or something in the way.

The headlight is still secured by "snaps". There are a couple of headed plastic pegs that snap into a hole. Anyways...just grap the headlight cluster and yank straight forward...it will pop out.

 

what cquestad said.

the first time i did mine i wondered the same thing. you just have to jerk the headlight out of the fender with a little force. it will make a loud pop when it comes out.

I got them removed and reinstalled in about 30 minutes, not bad for an old guy.
Thanks for all the replys.
