I broke it!!

[Bootzz]

The plastic piece that all the lights and grille bolts to in front of my radiator. What is it called?? And how do I take it off to put a new one??

 

[OLDBULL8]

Don't know of any other thing other than the radiator support. Cable jumped off the hood latch on my 92, or I would take a look to see what plastic piece your referring to. If you can take a pic and post it, helps a great deal.

 

[OLDBULL8]

Here is a couple of pics of my 92 F350 but should be the same as a F250, maybe you can point out what you need.

It's called a header panel. I have 5 or 6 of them here.

 

[Bootzz]

No I'm away from the truck now. But it's the big plastic piece between the core support and your light
And idipwr, could u possibly take a pic of it?
Also how hard is it to change?
I need to change my headlight bezel as well and paint my lights black since I have to relocate my lights due to height

It's really not hard to get to. Worst part is getting at those headlight bolts down below the battery tray.

 

[Bootzz]

What about the ones inbetween my quarter panel and my light bezel?
Will I have to take my quarter panel apart?
I read that to Change the lights u gotta take off the core support, quarter panels and all the other reg bs?

 

[79jasper]

No?

Once the grill and headlamp assemblies (just the turn signal/marker lamp/trim piece, the headlight itself can stay on the header) are off, you'll see how easy it is.

I wanna say most bolts were 8mm and 10mm.

There's actually two nuts to the marker/trim assembly IIRC.
One down low running through a hole in the core support next to a wire.

How quick you need it done?

Depending on work, I have a disassembly coming up that I could document with pics.

[icanfixall]

Not sure what you are doing but please take pics as your doing this work. Many can learn from looking a a good pic...

 

[Bootzz]

I work til the job is done or damn close to it. Didn't get off til 2030 tonight.

Maybe the weekend though. Usually don't work Saturdays, except last week, but I'd like to work em.

It's pretty easy once you start pulling stuff off.
