Headlight bulb replacement
I bought replacement high beam bulbs for my 2010 Z15, how do I get at the back of the headlamp to replace the bulbs?
|
Not sure but on my 01 I pull 2 pins out that hold the whole lens in. I think the new ones only have one but not sure.

u can order HD lights for ur trucks out from Japan. They are awesome. But if you buy them, buy them in quantity. their shipping takes forever!

Unfortunately, the light has to be removed from the truck. There are 2 screws on the top, and two more from the underside- GM's procedure involves removing the tire and fenderwell cover to access. Then there are tabs along the bottom side of the headlight assembl. What a P.I.T.A. I went ahead and added HID kits into both my low and high beams. The low neams, I could reach the bulbs, but definately not with the high beams- that is when I had to remove them. I sought the procedures from my buddy at the GM dealership. They have it on their system as a 1.5 hour labor rate to change a bulb. I think the 2 tab, twist and pull system for the headlight removal changed in 2007. My Sierra is an 08, and needs to have the entire light removed as stated above. http://www.retro-solutions.com/ is where I purchased my HID kits. I did the low beams, the high beams, the 5202 low beams and a 55 watt kit in my PIAA off road lights on my pushbar. Im actually going to remove the PIAAs and plan to replace them with LED lights from: http://www.rigidindustries.com/Off-R...ights-s/89.htm |

I have the high, lows and fog all in 35 watt kits 6K and the PIAA's in a 55 watt kit 6k also.
Anyone interrested in the PIAA's with the HID kit installed- $250 plus shipping from NJ I spent $300 for the lights and another $200 for the HID kit. They are PIAA 520 SMR Chrome with this HID kit http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/ser...VERSION/Detail. They have been barely used since I live in the city and don't get off roading much/at all. I bought them for the look for the bull bar I also have 1 spare H3 HID capsule included too http://www.aztekfanclub.com/SMF/inde...ach=2088;image http://www.aztekfanclub.com/SMF/inde...ach=2132;image http://www.aztekfanclub.com/SMF/inde...ach=2134;image |
