How do you get to the bulbs!!!! If it's from underneath I'm screwed cause my custom bumper must be in the way.

You should just have to pull the 2 pins to get the headlight assembly out of the way and there should be a clip holding in the DRL/turn signals. That's the way it was on my 2001 silverado. I haven't messed with my new 2004 yet. I believe the clip should be on the outside of the light (by the corner)

Jeli,

You'll need to pull the main headlight by taking out the 2 "L" shaped pins that hold them in on each corner. Then you'll see a white connector coming out of the back of the DRL light assembly.

That connector is held in place by a "clip". To release, push down on the "clip" and twist. The light bulb and connector should come out...

Now removing the bulb from the connector itself was a total PITAhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

I had to use pliers and pry them out....

I scratched up my hand pretty good getting that thing out. There is not easy way like the headlights, but at least they are easy to get out of the way. If you have large hands, you might be in trouble. Oh, and how did you guys check them to see if they are lit after replacement? I had to have the wife come out since if you put on the e-brake, even in gear, they don't come on. No way to do it alone as I can see unless you pull up to something you can see them reflecting. I was not happy about that delay. Oops. I'll step down now.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif
