Cowman 01-18-2005, 01:29 PM Hi, I have a 2002 LB7 and my driver side headlight just went out. Am I better off letting the dealer do it or can a dumb a$$ do it? Thanks dmaxalliTech 01-18-2005, 01:36 PM A dumb ass can do it. Just pull the two rods out and the headlight assembly will pop right out. JRZ2500HD 01-18-2005, 01:38 PM It's nothing to do. First you need to pull the "L" shaped pin on top out. Then you can lift the headight assemble out some and unhook the lamps. Then the bulb twist out. Then do the opposite to replace. It should only take a minute to do. Horse Trainer 01-18-2005, 01:48 PM A word of caution - DO NOT touch the bulb glass when you handle it - only touch on the part that screws into the light assembly. The oil on your fingers will cause the bulb to burn out quickly (I seem to recall immediately). If you do touch it, clean it with alcohol and dry with cotton. Blinky 01-18-2005, 02:37 PM Horse Trainer is correct.... Use gloves (if possible) when installing the lamp.... skoryaro2 01-18-2005, 02:49 PM What they said.....and BTW....it's nice to have another Dumb A$$ on board - welcome to the forum :) BiteMe 01-18-2005, 03:54 PM Kind of on this same line.... I'm having a heck of a time aligning my headlights. I can adjust the low beams, but the high beams are all messed up (pointing almost straight down). I can't find an adjustment that is separate for the high beams.... Any ideas?? -Jeff WanaDmxsub 01-19-2005, 12:21 AM Cowman,<O:p</O:p Don't be a Dump Ass and drop the assembly, kind of messes up the alignment that you spent an hour doing last night, just believe me...:rolleyes: WanaDmxsub 01-19-2005, 12:28 AM The alignment is done with the low beams on. There is no other adjustment. That I know of. Sounds like something is wrong inside the assembly. If your still under warranty take it back.Kind of on this same line....

You should also get a clean, lint-free cloth, wet the cloth with alcohol and then clean the bulb before installation. That will get the oils and other contaminates off. I'll be replacing my bulbs on my truck as soon as the HIR bulbs I ordered get here. Got the cloth and alcohol waiting. L8r....

I am hunting a brighter bulb. The stock ones are not very good. David JMPDMax 01-20-2005, 09:38 AM HIR bulbs are Halogen InfraRed bulbs. The have a coating on the inside of the bulb that reflect the Infrared energy given off back to the filament to generate more light.
