Cant get pictures on this forum on headlight installation

[2013avalanche]

I bookmarked the forum on

07 Headlight removal instructions with pics, but with being logged in, the pictures don't show up. Anyway to get pictures on forum?​

What thread?

Most of the time when this happens the member who posted the pics hosted them from Another website and the link is now DEAD.

So nothing we can do...
This is why we prefer members to upload their pics to their MEDIA gallery (EVERYONE GETS ONE) and then link them there....
SO they are then hosted on our site and the link only is broken when we change software or other geeky reasons.

Here's a video I nabbed real quick that might help. Presuming you're wanting to remove the whole assembly and not just the bulbs.

Can you remove just the bulb?

 

[Raekal]

The bulb should remove with a quarter turn when holding down the tab. Kinda like a pill bottle. You can see it later in that same video. You just have to get your hand to those locations.

While I know you can do it without too much fuss on a first gen, i'm not sure if you have to pull the headlight forward on a second gen to get enough room or not.

2013avalanche, I found the thread you mentioned (circa 2006), noticed the mongoranger.com link in the original poster's signature, found his forum and the original photos are still available here: http://mongoranger.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?id=29/

But, if you're just changing the bulb you do NOT need to remove the headlight. Take out the plastic wheel-well cover (or at least the front portion and bend it out of the way, I think I used a soda bottle jammed in there to help hold it back.) Then with the wheel-well cover peeled back you can reach in and change the bulb. It's not super easy, but sure beats removing the headlight and brackets.


Edit: Now that I check youtube, maybe you can just go in from the topside

It's the daylight running lights

Same deal . May be easier from below (wheel-well) since the DRL's are lower in the housing.
