I just wanted to change a headlight bulb. Why does it feel like I’m working on some exotic car instead of a truck? This is ridiculous!
Try going in through the wheel well. Much easier that way.

Good idea. I’m putting it all back together for now. I’ll give that a try next time.

It’s frustrating at first, but once you’ve done it before, it’s about a 10-15 minute job per side. You’re almost there!

I stuck with this method and managed to reach back there to change the bulb. Did the other side the same way!

Managed to change the driver’s side bulb without completely removing the housing. Now onto the passenger side.

There are a ton of videos online showing the best way to do this. Why not check one out instead of struggling?

I just let the shop handle it. Gave them the bulb, and they replaced it for like $20.

Well, aren’t you fancy? Thanks for the flex.

I did it last week. Not too bad, just had to remove about 5 bolts per side.

Yep, I use the wheel well method too. I wear gloves to avoid touching the bulbs. My 2017 has just one bulb per side, which was a surprise.

Same here with my older GMC. Bottom bolt is easy to reach through the wheel well.

I tried going through the wheel well on my 2015 but couldn’t get my hand in far enough to turn the bulb.
Did you watch any videos on how to do it before starting?

I did. The guy in the video said, ‘With a little patience, you can get the housing out.’
