New headlights
Do I need to take the grille off to do this? I tried getting the grille off and it is a b!tch, and I am getting frustrated. How the hell do I get this thing off?

I think the front end was tweeked because the grill covers up a couple of the screw heads. Thats why I think I might have to remove the grill. Thanks for your help, I could be wrong though.

It's a PITA but there is usually enough flex to getat the two phillips head screws on the top as for the bottom two you may find it easier to just loosen them off.
Unplug the light from the back before you start and then just push the light forwards. Drop the new one into the ring and fold it back in. tighten the bottom screws after you put back the two top ones. reconnect the plug and you're done.
don't forget to check the aim as well.

Got the new headlights in, quite the difference even going with the cheapest lamps I could pickup locally. I don't think the headlights had ever been replaced before and with 170+K on the truck it was definately time. I didn't have to take the grill off just use 2 screw drivers and pry the grill a little while I took the screws in and out. Thanks for everyone's help.
