Side Marker Replacement

[RANOVRU]

I cant figure out how to get the headlight assembly loose to replace the front side marker bulb. There are two phillips screws on the top that Ive taken off but the only thing I see underneath on the bottom side are two screws running vertically in between the bumper cover and the bottom of the assembly. I have no idea how you would get to them?? Is there another way??

Any help would be appreciated...

There are two nuts behind the turn signal lens.

Should be accessible by removing the battery and getting at the marker light from there.

The front end is kinda a pain to work on. I had to take everything off to put my IC in, those two nuts are a pain.

Theres no way I can get but one or two fingers in from behind, where the battery is. The batts not really in the way, the little 2x2" opening is the problem trying to access from back there.

The chrome trim piece looks like that would give me access to pull the lamp out to change the bulb, but I cant get it off. I see zero accessible screws except for the top two.

There are the 2 phillips screws holdin the trim ring at the top. Then like the others have stated, there are 2 nuts DIRECTLY behind the parking/turn lamp. They are either 10 or 11mm. You have to reach THRU an opening in the rad support to get to the 2 nuts that are going thru the header panel. You can reach them with the battery still in but for a 1st timer it is easier to have the battery out. a deep socket and a 3" extension are what I use and 1/4 drive. Once you get the 2 phillips screws out and the 2 nuts from behind, the whole trim ring, side marker,and turn/marker lamp will come out as one piece, leaving behind just the headlight

What he said, 10 mm.

1/4 inch drive deep socket and a box of band aids . Those two nuts are the biggest pain in the ass pieces to get to on the whole truck. I just had the front off mine for "light bulb maintenance" so speaking from experience... hands are finally healing up.

Take the batteries out.. it's worth the extra effort to get where you can "see what you're doing" which you never can... it's blind feel and DON'T drop the nuts.... I ended up pulling the battery trays trying to recover the ones I dropped... and didn't find... ever.
