2013 sierra headlight bulb replacement

[tryn2lrn]

Okay I give up, I am fairly mechanically inclined but I cannot get the %$^# headlights out of my new truck. My 2004 took about 30 seconds to pull the headlights. Somehow these seem to be tied into the fender somehow. I unscrew the 2 bolts and unscrew the grill bolts and pop the inside of the headlight out from the bottom catch, but that's it. I have it past the grill but it hung up by the fender and the fascia below the headlight. What am I missing, this can't be that hard...................I just know I am going to get rammy and break something soon.....................

Thanks

Quicker to show you this instead of typing. You don't need to take the whole assembly out.

These new trucks are a pain in the *** to change bulbs in...and try not to touch the bulb or get it dirty on the re-installation. I guess the old system of just pulling the pins behind the fixture made too much sense.

if you can find a chinese chick with small hands, you don't have to dismantle the engine to replace head lamp bulbs

Wow, I am debating just buying a good HID kit if I have to go through this much hassle. They are supposed to last longer than regular bulbs, plus I always seem to blow out my Sylvania bulbs every time I plow the driveway from the vibration. At least I did in the 1500, maybe the new 2500 will plow nicer and not blow out my headlights as much. Although I could install new bulbs in like 45 seconds in the old style headlights. Guess they needed to make everything more difficult..................thanks for the replies, I just thought it was me being a dufuss.......................

Hope it is good as aggravating as it is to get to!!!

The driver side bulb just blew on my 2012. I was able to remove the cover from over the grill->. radiator. This allowed me to reach it. Service info said something about removing the wheel well liners.
